FAQ

Can I use this template with AI?

Yes. Use AI to draft the first version, then review claims, rights, and deliverables before sending it to creators.

What should never be vague?

Deliverables, usage rights, revision scope, approval trigger, and payout timing should be explicit.

Does ugcgo.ai replace the template?

ugcgo.ai turns the template into a workflow: campaign brief, creator applications, escrow, review, proof, and payout state.

Use this in a real campaign

Post a brief, review creators, fund through escrow, and keep approvals, proof links, and payout state together.
