AdForge — AI Ad Creative Generator SaaS

Welcome to AdForge — AI Ad Creative Generator SaaS, a complete self-hosted platform for selling AI-generated advertising. Built on Laravel 13 with a modular architecture, it ships as a ready-to-run application that turns a written brief into a finished video ad, image ad or ad copy — with credit-based billing, twelve payment gateways and a role-based administration panel.

Whether you are launching a creative service, adding ad generation to an existing agency or building a credit-based SaaS from scratch, everything is configured from the admin panel — no code edits required.

Core Features

Everything needed to run an AI ad creative service, packaged in a unified responsive interface:

• Three Ad Formats: Video ads at 3, 6 or 10 seconds in landscape or portrait; image ads at 1K, 2K and 4K across three quality tiers; and ad copy with headline, primary text and call-to-action variants. Each is generated from a plain-language brief, with the credit cost shown live before the customer commits.
• Brand Studio: Reusable brand kits holding logo, palette and tone of voice, plus a product library. Attaching a product to a generation builds the ad around the real item rather than a generic stand-in — the feature that turns one-off renders into repeatable on-brand output.
• Credit-Based Billing: Customers spend credits per generation. Six rates — three image tiers, two video tiers and text — are individually priced from admin Settings, so you can keep cheap formats cheap and charge properly for expensive ones. Credits are reserved when a job starts and refunded automatically if it fails.
• Twelve Payment Gateways: Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Paystack, Flutterwave, Mollie, Mercado Pago, Xendit and Izipay, plus BitPay, Coinbase Commerce and NOWPayments for crypto — and manual bank transfer for markets where cards are not the norm.
• Subscription Plans & Credit Packs: Recurring plans with a monthly credit allowance alongside one-off top-up packs, both editable from the admin panel with monthly and yearly pricing.
• Google Gemini Integration: Video, image and text generation through a single provider. Model, API key and base URL are all set from the admin panel — no keys in files, no redeploy to change a model.
• Customer Workspace: Project gallery with format and status filters, full generation history with the original prompt and settings, downloadable output, credit balance and a complete transaction ledger.
• Visual Page Builder: CMS pages assembled from reorderable sections, with drag-and-drop header and footer menu builders.
• Blog & Support Desk: Categories, SEO fields and cover images, plus a built-in ticket system with threaded staff replies.
• Roles & Permissions: Granular per-module permissions, staff accounts, audit logging and login activity tracking.
• Translation Ready: Every string runs through the translation layer. Ships with English, Bengali and Arabic, including full right-to-left support — add or edit languages from the admin panel.
• Social Login, 2FA & Consent: OAuth sign-in, two-factor authentication, email verification, optional reCAPTCHA and a configurable cookie consent banner.

Built for Shared Hosting

• No symlinks required: Generated ads and uploads are written directly into the web-served assets directory, so the app runs on any standard cPanel or Hostinger account.
• Ship-and-play: Dependencies are bundled — upload, import the database, fill in the database credentials and the site is live. No Composer, no Node.js, no terminal.
• Portable asset URLs: Every asset path is derived from the incoming request, so the app works at a domain root or in a subdirectory without configuration.

Server Requirements

• PHP 8.3 or higher (8.4 supported)
• MySQL 5.7+ / MariaDB 10.3+
• PHP extensions: BCMath, Ctype, cURL, DOM, Fileinfo, GD, Intl, Mbstring, OpenSSL, PDO, Tokenizer, XML, Zip
• max_execution_time of 300 seconds or more — video generation runs inside the web request and takes longer than the common 30-second default allows
• A Google Gemini API key. Image generation works on the free tier; video generation requires a billing-enabled Google Cloud project
