What is Custom AI Model Training?

Custom AI model training is the process of teaching an artificial intelligence system to recognize and generate images featuring your specific products, brand elements, or visual style. Instead of using generic AI models that create stock-photo-like images, custom models learn from your actual product photography to create authentic advertisements that showcase your real inventory.

Why Custom Models Are Game-Changing:

Before (Generic AI):

  • • Generic stock-photo style images
  • • Products that don't match your inventory
  • • Inconsistent brand representation
  • • Low customer trust and recognition
  • • Average conversion rates

After (Custom Models):

  • • Your actual products in ads
  • • Consistent brand aesthetic
  • • High customer recognition
  • • Authentic product representation
  • • 340% higher conversion rates

Step-by-Step: How to Train Your Custom AI Model

1

Prepare Your Training Images

The quality of your training data determines the quality of your custom model. Here's what you need:

Minimum Requirements:

  • 10-50 high-quality images of your products
  • Minimum resolution: 1024x1024 pixels
  • Various angles: Front, side, top, detail shots
  • Different contexts: Lifestyle, studio, in-use scenarios
  • Consistent lighting: Professional or well-lit conditions

Pro Tips for Better Results:

  • • Include products on different backgrounds
  • • Show products being used by people
  • • Capture different product variations (colors, sizes)
  • • Include packaging and branding elements
  • • Avoid heavily filtered or edited images

Upload & Initialize Training

Once your images are ready, the training process is straightforward:

Upload Process:

  1. 1. Create a new project in AdMagnet AI
  2. 2. Select "Train Custom Model"
  3. 3. Upload your prepared images (drag & drop supported)
  4. 4. Add descriptive captions for each image
  5. 5. Choose your trigger word (e.g., "MyBrand", "ACME")
  6. 6. Start the training process

Training Time:

Custom model training typically takes 10-15 minutes. You'll receive notifications when training is complete and your model is ready to use.

3

Generate Your First Custom Ads

Once training is complete, you can start generating ads featuring your actual products:

Example Custom Prompts:

Jewelry: "Happy customer wearing [YourBrand] diamond earrings, elegant lighting, luxury lifestyle setting"
Furniture: "Modern living room featuring [YourBrand] sofa, cozy atmosphere, family enjoying time together"
Food: "Delicious [YourBrand] pizza being served at family dinner, warm lighting, authentic restaurant atmosphere"

The Magic Happens:

When you include your trigger word in prompts, the AI will generate ads featuring your actual products instead of generic alternatives. This creates authentic, recognizable content that customers trust.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Poor Quality Training Images

Don't Use:

  • • Blurry or low-resolution images
  • • Heavily filtered social media photos
  • • Images with poor lighting
  • • Cluttered or distracting backgrounds
  • • Screenshots or compressed images

Instead Use:

  • • High-resolution professional photos
  • • Clean, well-lit product shots
  • • Multiple angles and contexts
  • • Consistent brand aesthetic
  • • Original, uncompressed files

❌ Insufficient Training Data

Using only 3-5 images won't give the AI enough information to learn your products properly.

Solution: Upload 15-30 images minimum for best results. Include variety in angles, lighting, and contexts.

❌ Generic Trigger Words

Using common words like "product" or "item" as trigger words reduces model effectiveness.

Solution: Use unique brand names, specific product codes, or distinctive identifiers as trigger words.

❌ Inconsistent Brand Elements

Training with images that have inconsistent branding, colors, or styling confuses the AI model.

Solution: Maintain consistent brand aesthetics across all training images. Create style guidelines for your training data.
