What you make, in order. Tap one to jump to its step.

The NOLGIA Agent works best when you say the outcome, not the settings. To start a recipe, open the preset's page and choose Try this preset free, or sign in. The agent opens a chat tuned to that preset, asks for what it still needs and shows the credit estimate before you press Create.

Each picture is that preset's own published example, not the result of the message above it.

Product photos for your shop

Say this
Make a clean product photo of this ceramic mug for my shop listing. Matte white stoneware, about ten centimetres tall.

Runs Product photos on GPT Image 2.5 Flare and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. It asks where the picture will be used and for your brand colours, then shows the mug only from the sides your photos show.

Tip:Tip. Attach one to three photos, one per side. Add text and badges afterwards, so nothing is misspelled.

Made with Product photos. A studio hero of an unbranded sneaker, from one reference photo.

A marketplace listing set

Say this
I need the images for an Amazon listing of this backpack: the main image on white first, then the rest of the set.

Runs Marketplace listing images on GPT Image 2.5 Flare and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. It starts with the main image on pure white. Approve it, add it back as the reference, and it renders the rest of the set from it.

Tip:Tip. Nothing is written inside the pictures, so add callouts and measurements afterwards.

Made with Marketplace listing images. A main image: an unbranded kettlebell on pure white.

A YouTube thumbnail

Say this
Make a YouTube thumbnail for my video testing ten espresso machines. Title: TOO MUCH COFFEE. A shocked presenter, a machine flying at the lens.

Runs YouTube thumbnail on GPT Image 2.5 Flare. It asks for the words, the layout, the expression and the shape: wide for YouTube, tall for Shorts or 4:5 for the feed. Each one comes with a 120 px feed size proof.

Tip:Tip. Keep the words to a few big ones.

A tall thumbnail: a small wooden cabin on a cliff edge at sunset on the left, a grinning woman pointing at it on the right, and I LIVED TINY in huge white letters with a black outline.
Made with YouTube thumbnail. A Shorts cover in the size contrast layout.

A social media ad

Say this
Make a vertical social ad for our cold brew concentrate. Hook on the taste, filmed in a kitchen. Here is the product page.

Runs Social media ad on Hailuo 3 and GPT Image 2. It writes the hook, the script and the call to action, casts the creator, renders the takes, adds captions timed to the speech and an end card, and checks every cut before it hands the ad over.

Tip:Tip. Give only claims that are true; the agent will not invent them.

Made with Social media ad. A vertical sleep supplement ad, the hook on the first frame.

A score for your hook

Say this
Score the hook on this ten second Reels ad before I put money behind it.

Runs Hook score with the video-scorecard ability. It scores your finished clip out of 100, weighted for an ad, an organic short or a YouTube intro, and names the strongest second and three fixes, each tied to a time in the clip. It can then make a stronger version and score it beside the old one.

Tip:Tip. Scoring makes nothing new. Only a new opening shot generates video, and that is quoted first.

From the Hook score page. An energy drink ad it scored 32 of 100: no on-screen text and no call to action.

An intro from your logo

Say this
Turn my logo into a short playful intro for my channel, in our teal and coral.

Runs Animate your logo on Seedance 2.5 and Veo 3.1. It builds a small original scene that resolves into your mark and ends on the logo, centred, with room beneath for a tagline.

Tip:Tip. Attach a flat logo on a plain background.

Made with Animate your logo. A paper boat crossing a puddle resolves into a hull and sail mark.

An animated reveal of your cover

Say this
Animate my album cover into a five second reveal for Instagram that lands on the finished image.

Runs Cover reveal on Seedance 2.5 and GPT Image 2.5 Flare. It makes a start frame from your still, animates the reveal with your words arriving on screen, and lands on your still, so the last frame is the picture you made.

Tip:Tip. Type the words on the cover exactly as they read.

A narrated explainer

Say this
Make a one minute narrated explainer on how bees make honey, in Storybook gouache.

Runs Narrated explainer on Grok Imagine Video 1.5, Nano Banana 2 and ElevenLabs v3. It writes the script and checks it against real sources, records the narration first, then makes one illustrated shot per ten second scene and cuts them together.

Tip:Tip. You can send a document instead of a topic.

A flat vector illustration: a small yellow figure stands on a green hill under a row of heavy grey clouds on a cream sky.
Made with Narrated explainer. How a rainbow forms, three scenes in Flat vector.

A grade for footage you shot

Say this
Grade these three clips with a warm film look, like this reference frame.

Runs Color grade footage. It opens your clips on a Studio timeline, picks a film stock look that fits your words and hands back the graded cut beside the untouched original, naming the negative and the finish it used so later shots can follow.

Tip:Tip. A reference frame whose colour you like is the fastest brief.

A cyclist in a brown jersey rides a road bike along a flat grey coastal road under an overcast sky, the sea behind him, in flat ungraded colour.
From the Color grade footage page. The kind of shot it grades: an overcast coastal ride, ungraded.

Numbers as a clean table image

Say this
Turn this CSV into a clean spreadsheet image for my investor update, dark dashboard style.

Runs Turn your data into a spreadsheet on GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. It sets every cell as you gave it, with a header row, gridlines and right aligned numbers, and renders again any value that came back wrong.

Tip:Tip. Nothing is rounded or invented, so check the data first.
