Betting platform Kalshi aired a fully AI-generated advertisement during the NBA Finals that cost only $2,000 to produce using Google's Veo 3 text-to-video generator. The ad took 2-3 days to create with 300-400 generations needed for 15 usable clips, representing a 95% cost reduction compared to traditional advertising. The process involved writing a script, using Gemini to generate shot prompts, and editing the final video with standard tools like CapCut or Adobe Premiere Pro.
