🧩
The 'Fluid Model' Approach
•Don't rely on a single 'God Model' AI. Neil explains that Gemini is best for research (web access), while ChatGPT excels at copy (emotion).
•Different tools have different 'personalities'—identify them to optimize output quality.
•Stop trying to force one tool to do the whole job; specialization leads to better results.
"Use each model where it tends to be the strongest."
— Neil Patel — Conclusion on AI strategy
⚡
Volume & Velocity Strategy
•The goal isn't just to make 'one' ad, but to generate variations at scale.
•By removing the manual design bottleneck, you can move from concept to 10+ testable versions in under an hour.
•Speed of production allows for faster testing of angles, which is the real key to ad performance.
"Cut creative production from about three days to roughly 45 minutes."
— Neil Patel — Opening Hook
🛠️
Tool-Specific Strengths
•Use Gemini for the research phase because it's 'wired into the web' and spots patterns effectively.
•Use ChatGPT for the creative writing phase because it produces more 'conversational' and emotional text.
•Use specialized tools (like Nano Banana) for the final asset generation.

Overview of the Fluid Model Workflow
Here's what a fluid model workflow looks like in practice.
Use Case: Nano Banana Ad Creative Workflow
Use case number one, the Nano Banana ad creative workflow. This is a workflow we've built for one client that cut creative production from about 3 days to roughly 45 minutes.
Step One: Analyzing Top Performing Ads with Gemini
Step one, use Gemini to analyze top performing ads in your niche. Why Gemini? Because Google's Gemini is wired into the web and it's strong at pattern spotting across recent examples and trends.
Step Two: Generating Ad Copy Variations with ChatGPT
Step two, use ChatGPT to generate 10 ad copy variations based on those insights. Why ChatGPT? ChatGPT typically produces more conversational, emotional-driven language which often performs better in direct response ads.
Step Three: Creating Visual Ad Creatives with Nano Banana
Step three, use Nano Banana to turn those copy variations into visual ad creatives automatically. Why Nano Banana? Nano Banana generates amazing ad creatives really well and you can pump out all sorts of versions so you can test angles immediately instead of waiting on a designer.
Results of the Workflow
The result, you go from concept to 10 testable ad variations in under an hour using each model where it tends to be the strongest.
