Caught at the Window: AI Commercial Generator for Your Brand
Upload your product photo and logo. The shot glides toward a single lit window at night, two people inside use your product, someone notices the camera and draws the curtains closed, revealing your logo. A single 10-second take at 1080p with audio.
The caught at the window format is October 2026's viral AI ad trend: a camera pushes toward a lit window at night, showing people using a product, someone looks directly at the lens and closes the curtains, then the brand logo appears on the fabric. This AI commercial generator creates your version using two photos: product and logo.

The button displays the cost. Omni 1.1 Flash creates the Caught at the Window scene directly from your images, skipping intermediate steps, producing 10 seconds with original audio. No prompt writing required.
Download or share
Your video renders in minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download to your device, share from mobile, or access later in your Library.
Which photo works best?
Upload two photos:
Your product: a clear shot with visible label facing forward, ideally against a simple background. Product shots work well.
Your logo against a plain backdrop, or the bag, box or packaging featuring your logo. Packaging will also appear on the table.
Missing a logo file? Take a flat photo of your bag or box with the logo large and in focus.
White logos on transparent PNGs appear invisible: place on a colored background before uploading.
Simple logos work better. Fine text and lengthy taglines may not render correctly.
Works well with food, beverages, beauty products, electronics and shopping bags.
Where did the Caught at the Window trend start?
The format started in Turkey. On 8 October 2026 the Ankara burger shop Sofa Burger posted an ad where a boy eats a burger, sees the camera and pulls the curtain, with the line "gözün kalmasın" ("don't stare at it"). It reached about 46,000 likes, where the shop's posts usually get about 30.
On 11 October the Russian AI creator @karina.aicontent posted her own take: an unofficial concept ad for a burger chain, made with Seedance 2.5 from a photo of a boy, the branded bag and the burger box. It passed 25 million views and 1.7 million likes. Restaurants copied it the same day.
On 12 and 13 October creators shared prompts. @welamall in Baku posted the first public prompt, and the Turkish art director Ülkü KURT named it the YAKALANDIN trend (yakalandın trendi, "you got caught") in a tutorial for Google Flow and its Omni 1.1 Flash model. By 14 October small brands in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Russia were making their own: burgers, sausages, mineral water, water filters.

The Caught at the Window prompt
No need to use this yourself: the one-tap process handles it automatically. [Image 1] and [Image 2] represent your uploads in the sequence you add them: the model uses them as reference and creates the scene directly from your photos, without generating a still image first.

Video prompt
Edit [Video 1]. Replace only the explicitly mapped source subjects in place:
[Image 1] replaces the person watching from the window; photo slot: Your product photo, in every shot where that subject appears.
[Image 2] replaces the separate person appearing outside the window; photo slot: Logo, bag or box, in every shot where that subject appears.
[Image 1]: Copy the uploaded person's face, facial structure, eyes, skin tone, age, hair and facial hair or absence of facial hair. Remove source facial hair or hairstyles that the upload does not have. Keep identity consistent across every shot. Keep the source outfit unless the selected variant explicitly changes it or requires a body/species change.
[Image 2]: Use the uploaded object's actual shape, colors, materials and distinguishing details for the mapped object, following its source position, physical interactions and any requested transformation stages. Never put a human face on the object.
Selected variant: Your brand / main. Apply only the requested cast, wardrobe, setting or effect changes for this variant; preserve the source action and shot timing instead of inventing a new scene sequence.
Use the complete preview as the source for the Caught at the Window / Your brand variant. Preserve its actual action, effect progression, camera moves, shot sequence, physical interactions and mouth/jaw timing. Photo-role labels determine the intended identity assignment; never assign uploaded faces to unrelated background people or props.
Track each source subject through front, profile, back and occluded views. Keep all non-target subjects unchanged. Never duplicate an uploaded identity, merge subjects, swap their roles or transfer an identity to a prop or background subject.
Preserve the complete source video from its first frame to its last: source duration, frame order, every shot boundary, playback speed, camera movement, framing, lighting and original performance; keep background/props unless the selected variant explicitly changes them. Preserve each subject's original head, gaze, body, hand/paw gestures, expression, mouth and jaw opening/closing and their exact source timing. Do not create a new dance, scene, shot list, dialogue or lyrics. Do not add, remove, reorder, shorten, extend or retime shots or actions.
Produce silent video. The matching unmodified original soundtrack is restored separately after this edit. Do not generate speech, singing or music. Do not add new captions, subtitles, logos or a watermark.
You pay in credits. The Generate button shows this price before you spend anything. These are the options on this page.

What happens in your ad
Your ad matches the trend structure shot for shot, in one unbroken take:
Seconds
What happens
0 to 3
Nighttime. Camera begins distant from an apartment building where a single window is illuminated, moving steadily closer.
3 to 5
Inside through the window, two people consume or use your product at a table, label visible.
5 to 7
One person spots the camera and looks directly at the lens, appearing bothered and wary.
7 to 9
They set down the product, approach the window and slowly draw both curtains closed.
9 to 10
Your logo emerges on the gently lit curtain fabric as the final frame.
The closing moment functions as an AI logo animation: curtains meet and your logo fills the screen.
Omni 1.1 Flash (Gemini Omni Flash) produces the complete ad directly from your two images, the same model trend creators use in Google Flow. The result is vertical 9:16 at 1080p, featuring nighttime ambience, curtain rustle and a brief music cue on the logo. The exact cost appears on the Generate button before any purchase, and the finished video appears in your Library.
How brands post the caught at the window ad
The format succeeds because it feels like real footage from a neighbor, then delivers the punchline with your logo. Restaurants adopted it first, so an AI food ad (a burger, pizza, sushi, a drink) is typical, but any product people use at home works well.
Write the line people say. The original ad's "gözün kalmasın" ("don't stare at it") sets the tone, and Turkish posts refer to the format as the gözün kalmasın reklam: "Stop staring at someone else's burger. Order your own." Then include how to order.
Post it as an ad, not as a real video. Leave the AI label visible. This is a viral AI ad and a viral AI commercial, not actual footage of neighbors.
Make a few takes. Each generation gives you a new take: create two or three and share the best one.
It is among the trending AI ads of October 2026, and the AI ad trend goes by many names: the AI curtain ad, the AI window ad, the AI window trend, the logo curtain ending, a window commercial in AI, a neighbor window AI ad, the AI closing curtains ad, and in Turkey, where searches for yapay zeka reklam ("AI ad") are common, the perde reklamı or perde kapatma reklam ("curtain ad") and "komşu perdeyi kapattı" ("the neighbor closed the curtain"). Russian posts use реклама шторы.
Hashtags (15 October 2026): the trend lacks its own hashtag so far. The tool tags are popular: #googleflow (34,000 TikTok videos), #omniflash (5,200) and #geminiomni (3,600).

FAQ
Caught at the Window trend questions
What is the caught at the window trend?+
A viral AI ad format from October 2026, known in Turkey as the YAKALANDIN trend. One uncut shot glides toward the sole lit window of a nighttime building, people inside use a product, someone spots the camera, stares and closes the curtains, revealing the brand logo on the fabric. Sofa Burger in Ankara posted the earliest known version on 8 October 2026.
How do I make the caught at the window ad?+
Click "Create your own", upload your product photo as photo 1 and your logo or branded packaging as photo 2, then click Generate. The cost displays first on the button. You receive a 10-second vertical ad at 1080p, available in your Library once complete.
Is this an AI ad generator I can use for my own business?+
Yes. This AI ad maker and AI ad creator focuses on one established format. While a general AI advertisement generator or AI ads generator produces various ad types, this creates one specific AI generated ad that's already trending, among the AI commercials of 2026: you create ads with AI using your product photo and logo, no production crew needed. Only use logos you own or are authorized to use. For other formats, visit the [AI ad generator](/ai-ad-generator) and the [AI product video generator](/tools/ai-product-video-generator).
Which AI model makes the video?+
Omni 1.1 Flash, Google's Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash model (also searched as Google Omni Flash and Omni Flash AI). This is the model trend creators use in Google Flow, accepting your two photos as references. The viral burger original used Seedance 2.5.
Which prompt does this template use?+
Ülkü KURT's prompt (@ulkustyle) from the most-viewed tutorial, used exactly. We simply direct it to your two photos and added four minor improvements: other windows remain dark, curtains stay internally lit, the logo doesn't swap to alternate versions, and a sound instruction. This is the Gemini Omni Flash prompt and Google Flow ad prompt from her tutorial, requiring no writing from you.
Can I make it in Google Flow instead?+
Yes, creators produce the Google Flow AI ad manually: upload two photos, paste the prompt and select 9:16, 10 seconds. This page automates those steps, running the identical Omni Flash commercial on your photos with one click.
Does it work for a burger, a drink or a cosmetic?+
Yes. Food and beverages are standard: the burger window ad AI version launched the trend. Beauty items, electronics and shopping bags also work, provided the product photo is clear with the label facing forward.
How long is the video, and does it have sound?+
It runs 10 seconds, vertical 9:16, at 1080p, featuring quiet night ambience, a curtain swish and a brief music sting when the logo shows. No talking is included, so you can layer your own voice-over or song when posting.
Does the caught at the window ad cost credits?+
Yes. The create page displays the exact cost on the Generate button before any charge. Failed videos return your credits.
Are my photos private?+
Yes. Smew AI never posts your photos or results publicly or shares them with other users. Videos save to your private Library, where you can delete them whenever you choose.
