Welcome back to another edition of Scade.pros digest! We help you quickly combine AI models in a few clicks to create AI features and products with ease.

This week, discover how our client scaled their AI-driven marketing service with Scade.pro and saved $50,000 in one month. Explore the fun and potential of our new Video Face Swap feature for social media and retail. And check out our new GPT-4o and Perplexity nodes.

New Nodes

GPT-4o

We’ve integrated GPT-4o to our platform. This latest model significantly reduces operational costs while maintaining the high quality responses you’ve come to expect. But the real standout feature is its speed. GPT-4o is 3–4 times faster than GPT-4 Turbo. This means that whether you’re analyzing data, creating content, or running complex queries, you can do it faster.

You can compare it with other LLMs in our ‘Compare Top LLMs’ template. Just switch the model to gpt-4o in the settings of the GPT3 Model node.

Perplexity

Another thing you can add to this comparison to try out is Perplexity. This AI tool doesn’t just give you answers; it ensures transparency. This way, you can easily verify the information and trust its accuracy. Whether you need thorough research on a topic or quick, reliable answers to complex questions, Perplexity node is here to make your flows more informative.

Success Stories: AI marketing service

One of our customers is an AI-powered service with templates for creating marketing content. Scaling production for their service was a significant challenge. Integrating multiple AI tools and transitioning results between textual and graphical models was technically demanding and time-consuming.

Initially, it took 1–2 months to develop, package and refine 4 new templates. This slow pace significantly limited their growth. The Scade.pro platform offered them the ability to combine multiple AIs that were precisely tailored to their templates, without having to manually synchronize different APIs or spend development hours integrating AI tools.

As they say, the collaboration with Scade.pro marked a pivotal shift. Within a month, they launched 20 new templates. This rapid expansion led to impressive user growth: from 70 to 180 new users per day.This efficiency saved them approximately $50,000 compared to their previous way of working. They achieved the same result in just a few weeks that would have taken them five months before.

Video Face Swap

Our new template for you to try and modify is Video Face Swap. It allows you to easily swap faces in videos and gifs. Just upload a video and a photo to create a funny or hyper-realistic face swap video ready to share.

The charm of face swap videos lies in their ability to inject humor, surprise, and excitement into everyday scenarios. Imagine giving your customer the ability to transform into their favorite celebrity, historical figure, or even a fictional character with a simple face swap. This adds a layer of fun to their online persona, making these videos especially engaging on social media.

Brands that use face-swapping technology in their campaigns can make a real splash. These videos encourage social sharing, generate buzz, and ultimately boost brand awareness and engagement:

  • By launching face swap video challenges or contests, brands can motivate users to create and share their own face swaps with branded filters or themes, driving organic visibility.

  • One of the most exciting applications is in the retail sector. With face swap videos, businesses can offer virtual try-on experiences for customers. By allowing users to see themselves in various outfits, accessories, or makeup products, the online shopping experience becomes more interactive and satisfying.

  • Businesses can also use face swap technology to develop personalized content and create a deeper connection with their audience. Personalized videos can boost engagement and make customers feel more valued and engaged.

You can add a ChatGPT node to this template to help you write a description for a social media post or come up with hashtags, or, for example, combine this flow with a voice and lip sync translator, which we’ve covered in previous digests.

We also plan to release new templates such as a research assistant and quality assurance for call centers at Scade.pro. Stay tuned!
