The gentleman in the city
Make a 45 to 60 second vertical video with Masonry. An original gentleman [animal] with one signature detail (a hat or a cane) lives in [city]. In 5 scenes: he steps into a crowd, [someone cuts the queue at the bakery], he is tempted to get even, he does the kind thing instead, and the crowd reacts. Keep him identical in every scene. No dialogue: music that builds and resolves carries the story. End on a card with the moral: "[moral]". Join the scenes into one video with the music.
Product in use
Use the attached photo of my product, [a body butter]. Keep its real label, shape and color. Make a 15 second vertical ad of [a woman in her 30s] using it: a hook, the product in hand, in use, the visible result, then "[Order on WhatsApp]". Voiceover in [Spanish] and captions. Give me three versions with different opening hooks. No medical claims.
Your pet, the star
Use the attached photo of my [dog or cat]. Keep its real fur, markings and face. Make a 10 second vertical video of it as [a rock star singing on a concert stage with lights]: a costume reveal, a hold, then its big moment. Add fitting music or sound effects.
What you can ask for in Gemini CLI
Every request runs in your own Masonry workspace and uses its credits
Product photos
Describe a shot, or attach a photo of your product. Masonry keeps its real label, shape and colour
Studio product shoots
Get four looks for your product, pick one, and receive a matching set of photos
Videos
Write a scene, bring a photo to life, or describe an edit to a clip you already have
Voiceover and music
Have a script read in a stock voice or your character's own, or get a music track or sound effect
Your characters
Cast the people and mascots saved in your workspace, so they look the same in every shot
Your gallery and credits
Ask what you made last week or how many credits are left. Everything is saved to your workspace
Before you connect
Do I need a Masonry account to use it in Gemini CLI?
Yes. The first time Gemini CLI uses Masonry it opens masonry.so, where you sign in or create a free account and select Allow. Generations use your workspace's credits
Which workspace does it use?
The one you pick on the Allow screen. It can only see and spend in that workspace, and it cannot delete anything
How do I disconnect?
Open Settings, Connected apps in Masonry and disconnect it. A connection that goes unused for 90 days is signed out on its own
What should I ask for first?
Try one of the briefs on this page, or describe the video you want in your own words, in any language. Mention Masonry so the app uses it instead of a built-in image tool
