Translate appetite for answers into targeted question that is simulated in Rally, and used to generate a life like video clip using Veo3.
Click to expand
Turn your AI persona into a hyper realistic video avatar in minutes. The workflow turns your appetite for a deep insight into an intentional question that triggers a simulation against a single reaction before producing a video response.
(this is v1 - I have a work in progress template that has a loop where if the answer does not satisfy an audience of experts, the questions is refined and a new clip generated)
Import the Workflow
Copy & paste the JSON template into your n8n instance via “Import from Clipboard”.
Configure Rally API Calls, Audience ID, and Add your Product Category
In both “call AskRally” HTTP Request nodes, set your Rally API endpoint URL.
Attach your Rally bearer-token credential to each.
Configure Rally API Calls, Audience ID, and Add your Product Category
