Smart Home Ad Prompts: Copy-Paste Examples

Skip the blank page: paste any of these smart home ad prompts into Claude with Polaris connected and a finished UGC-style clip comes back in the thread. Each prompt sets the scene, actor, action and lighting — you just swap in your product.

The prompts

1. Voice command demo: UGC-style vertical video, a man in his 30s climbing into bed, saying a goodnight command toward a smart speaker. Lights dim room by room down the hallway behind him, visible through the bedroom door. Cozy warm-to-dark lighting transition, handheld phone framing, satisfied smirk at camera as the last lamp fades.
2. POV phone check: First-person POV video, hands holding a phone at a cafe table showing a smart lock app, thumb tapping lock, coffee cup beside. Cut to a front door deadbolt turning by itself in a bright entryway. Natural daylight in both settings, quick relieved exhale audible, casual authentic pacing, no studio polish.
3. Renter install: Handheld UGC video, a young woman in an apartment peeling adhesive backing and mounting a small smart sensor to a doorframe, then opening the app on her phone. Timer feel, casual narration energy, exposed brick rental apartment with moving boxes half-unpacked, bright midday window light, triumphant thumbs up when the app pairs.
4. Morning routine: Cinematic-but-casual vertical clip of a sunrise routine: blinds rising automatically, kettle plug clicking on, a woman in a robe walking into a kitchen already lit warmly. Golden morning light streaming in, slow calm pacing, she cradles her coffee and glances at camera like she planned none of it herself.
5. Testimonial skeptic: A man in his 50s sitting on his living room couch talking directly to camera, admitting he thought smart home gear was a gimmick, gesturing at a smart plug and hub on the side table. Lamps behind him flick on as he talks. Soft evening interior light, genuine conversational tone, single continuous take.
6. Away-from-home alert: UGC vertical video, a woman at an office desk getting a phone notification, opening a doorbell camera feed showing a delivery on her porch. Split of her relieved reaction and the porch view. Fluorescent office light contrasted with sunny porch footage, realistic phone-in-hand framing, quiet excitement rather than drama.
7. Energy schedule: Close-up UGC demo, hands setting a schedule in a smart plug app, then a wide shot of a home office where a heater, monitor, and lamp all shut off together at end of day. Evening blue-hour light, satisfying simultaneous click-off moment, a man leaning back in his chair nodding at the camera.
8. Family lifestyle: Warm handheld clip of a family arriving home with grocery bags, entry lights and hallway lights turning on ahead of them as they walk in, kids running past. Mom looks at camera mid-carry with a can-you-believe-this expression. Dusk exterior into warm interior, natural chaotic family energy, authentic suburban entryway.
