Template videos, or flagship generated ones.
Minta builds videos from a large template library and Canva, which is fast and keeps output on-brand. Templates remix a fixed set of layouts, though. Xyla generates flagship, creator-style video from your actual products, scripted and concepted for your brand each time, the kind of UGC that looks native in today's feed.
- Generates flagship, creator-style video, not template fills
- Scripted and concepted to match your brand each time
- One product photo becomes reels, carousels and stories
- 01 200+ video templates plus Canva AI integration
- 02 Fast, on-brand product videos at low cost
- 03 Output is template-based rather than newly generated
The whole calendar, across six networks.
Minta is product video, auto-posted to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest, on Shopify. Xyla runs the whole calendar: video, carousels, captions, memes and holiday drops, across six networks (adding X and YouTube), and it works on WooCommerce and Etsy as well as Shopify.

A store autopilot, not just a video poster.

Xyla goes further: it detects bestsellers and new arrivals worth promoting, tags products for Instagram Shopping, links posts to product pages, and runs a link-in-bio wired to your live catalog, with included AI credits rather than charging per advanced video.
