Pikes product workflows

Setup instructions for creating assets with Pikes and using them in your existing tools. For current plans and credit allowances, see pricing.

From a Claude brief to a Pikes asset#

Claude can call Pikes image and video tools through the remote MCP server. Pikes uses your product references and saved brand context to guide generation; check the result before using it in a campaign.

1. Create a Pikes account and add product reference images and brand guidance. Generation consumes Pikes credits.
2. Connect https://pikes.ai/mcp in a supported MCP client and authorize access to Pikes. The connection guide includes Claude desktop, web and Claude Code setup.
3. Ask Claude to find the relevant product and generate a specific scene or creative variation. Include the intended format, placement and constraints.
4. Review the returned asset and its product details. For major changes, start again from the original reference: repeated edits can compound distortion.

Turn product references into ad variations#

Start with an actual SKU photo, your brand guidance and a clear creative brief. Generate several compositions, review product fidelity and prepare the selected assets for your advertising workflow.

1. Upload a clear product reference and describe the audience, scene, offer and intended placement.
2. Generate variations in the image or video workflow. Set the aspect ratio for the placement and keep room for copy and interface overlays.
3. Review labels, packaging, generated text and claims. Check the current placement requirements in Meta Ads Manager before export.
4. Export approved assets and complete ad setup, targeting, budget and publication in Meta Ads Manager. Pikes creative generation and performance analysis do not by themselves publish a campaign.

Product photography with a review step#

Use product references to create studio-style and lifestyle images for a product detail page. Reference-based generation guides the model toward your product; it does not guarantee identical labels, colors or packaging in every output.

1. Start with a clear, unobstructed photo of the actual product.
2. Describe the background, lighting, camera angle and intended crop.
3. Compare the generated image with the reference, including small text and packaging geometry.
4. Export approved results. Regenerate or edit failures, allowing for the additional credit cost.

Bring Pikes images into your Figma file#

The Pikes AI plugin connects your Pikes account to a Figma design file. Browse available images in the plugin or send a selected batch from Pikes, then place those images on the canvas for your design work.

1. Open the Pikes AI plugin in Figma and connect the Pikes account that holds your assets. Contact Pikes if you need the installation details.
2. Keep the plugin open in the target design file. Select one or more images in Pikes and choose Add to Figma, or browse the images available in the plugin.
3. Place the images on the current Figma canvas. Imported assets are image layers arranged for you to position in your layout.
4. Use Figma to add typography, vectors and layout. Importing a generated image does not turn its text or objects into editable vector layers.
