About LightUGC
lightugc is an AI agent you talk to for short-form marketing content. You give it your site or a product idea, and it generates UGC reaction videos, slideshows of the swipe-post type seen on TikTok and remixes of a post you like, in your own words. A single chat covers creating, remixing, scheduling and publishing, aimed at solo makers who built a product and now need people to see it.
The platform includes a trends library that shows what is performing, scheduled posting with auto-publish to TikTok and Instagram (a daily cadence such as four posts is shown in the demo) and analytics that show how each post did. Chat is free, while credits are used only for AI-generated footage, and videos and slideshows are unlimited on every plan.
lightugc is a hosted service with three paid tiers: $49 per month for one product, 3 social accounts and 25 AI credits, $99 per month for three products, 5 accounts, 60 credits and premium models, and $149 per month for unlimited products, 7 accounts and 150 credits, with a trending library and priority support.
