How to use PromoAI

In this article you will get a step-by-step walkthrough about how to use the Promo AI tool. For a broader explanation about PromoAI, check out this article first.

With PromoAI, get up to 30-days worth of video posts personalized for your business. You can try out generating video posts even without a plan. To download & publish your PromoAI videos, you will need a Standard or Pro plan.

With a Basic plan you can generate 60 AI videos per month without the ability to edit them. Standard plan users get 90 AI video generations and 30 AI video downloads per month. And Pro plan users get 1000 AI video generations and 300 AI video downloads per month.

NOTE. AI video downloads do not roll over to the next month/year. At the beginning of a new billing month/year, previous unused amount of AI video downloads will disappear, and instead you will receive a new amount of AI video downloads.
