What UGC is in Sozee
UGC (user-generated content) videos look filmed by a person, not produced by a studio: someone talking to the camera, holding a product, telling a story. They work as organic posts and as ads.
In Sozee, UGC is its own mode on the Create page. Your character presents, Sozee writes the script from your brief, and you approve it before anything is made. Videos can be up to 90 seconds.

Step by step
- Choose UGC and pick your character On the Create page, choose UGC under the prompt. Pick your character with the character button.

In the app. Choose a format (1). Each tile shows the length it usually runs. - Fill in the brief Each format asks for what it needs. A product review asks for product photos, what the product is and the key points, then lets you pick a length, a verdict and how it closes.
- Set the look Video control sets the Shot style, the Aesthetic and the Setting, outfit & props.
- Review the script Sozee writes the script from your brief. Read it, change anything that doesn't sound like your character and press Approve script.
- Set the output and generate Choose the shape (9:16, 4:5 or 1:1), the resolution and the captions (None, Clean, Bold or Karaoke). The length follows the script. Press Generate.
Which format to pick
| If you want to… | Try |
|---|---|
| Talk about anything, casually | Yap Session or Life Update |
| Show a day or a routine | Day in the Life or Get Ready With Me |
| Tell a story people watch to the end | Storytime |
| Sell or recommend something | Product Review, Unboxing or Testimonial |
The Show up and Promote filters above the tiles split the formats into everyday posts and ones built to sell.
Writing a brief that gives a good script
Too vague
Product: “moisturizer”. Key points: “it's good”. The script has nothing specific to say.
Specific
Product: “a face moisturizer in a pump bottle”. Key points: “absorbs fast, no sticky feel, skin feels softer after a week, use it morning and night”. Now the script has real things to say.
Cost
A UGC video costs 1 credit for every 7.5 seconds, with a minimum of 4 credits, so a 30-second video costs 4 credits and a 60-second video costs 8. The price shows on Generate before anything is made.
