Creative policy

Many franchise programs do not allow AI-invented pictures on social media. The creative policy lets each brand follow its own rules. It decides what the AI may produce when it drafts a post for that brand.

Open the brand's settings, stay on the General tab and find AI creatives. Click one of the three cards. It saves right away.

How the library options workCopy Anchor Link

With either library option, every draft starts from one photo in that brand's photo library. CurbsideOps picks the photo that best fits the event from its tags and description, so keep the library stocked with approved truck, product and scene photos for variety.

A few things change with the library options:

• Posts stay square unless you ask for another shape. A photo of a different shape is cropped to fit, never redrawn, so the post shows your approved photo and not a lookalike.
• Styles are not used: the event text goes on the photo itself.
• Telegram marks these drafts as library photos so you can tell them apart.
• Captions are not affected. The policy is about pictures, not words, and captions still follow the brand's caption voice.

Library photo + AI text keeps the photo but lets the AI design the headline, day and place onto it. You still approve every draft, so check that the result looks like your approved photo before you publish.

Library photo only (no AI) is the strictest option and uses no image credits.

Other places the policy appliesCopy Anchor Link

• Campaigns: a library brand's holiday posts start from its library photos too, with the headline and tagline added. See Campaigns.
• Reels: Library photo + AI text brands get gentle camera or background motion only, and Library photo only brands get a slow pan and zoom over the photo with text, with no AI video. See Reels.
• Menu photos you enhance for your menu are not social posts and are not covered by this setting.

Co-branded images: only when you askCopy Anchor Link

If you run more than one brand, every draft belongs to one brand: its logo, its truck, its products, its caption voice and its social accounts. A draft never mixes in another brand's photos.

You can still get one image that shows two brands together, but only when you ask for it in so many words: "one image with both brands", "a combined post", "co-branded". If your request could go either way, for example "both brands will be at the fair", the assistant asks whether you want one post per brand (the usual choice) or one combined image, and makes nothing until you answer. It never offers a combined image on its own.

A co-branded image:

• Is only possible when every brand in it uses AI scenes. A library brand's rules do not allow a scene with another brand in it, so the assistant offers one post per brand instead.
• Shows each brand's own truck and logo, side by side.
• Is written in the first brand's voice and names every brand in the caption.
• When approved, publishes to the first brand's accounts and then to each partner brand's accounts.
