· WHAT IT DOES ·
Your brand, any aesthetic
Vibe Picker is a visual style selector that decouples aesthetic from brand identity. Most AI ad generators produce a single look. Every ad feels like it came from the same template. Vibe Picker gives you a mood board of 12+ curated styles, from clean minimalist to bold maximalist to editorial photography to user-generated content authenticity. You pick the vibe, and Mani generates ads that combine that visual treatment with your locked Brand DNA. Your colors stay. Your tone stays. Your products stay. Only the visual wrapper changes. This means you can test radically different aesthetics without losing brand coherence. Run a retro campaign in Q1 and a minimalist campaign in Q2 while keeping the same brand fingerprint across both. Agencies use it to match a competitor aesthetic without copying. Performance marketers use it to A/B test visual styles the way they already test headlines and CTAs.
· HOW IT WORKS ·
Three steps to your perfect vibe
- 1 Browse the visual mood board. Open the Vibe Picker and scroll through 12+ curated visual styles. Each vibe comes with a mood board showing four to six real ad examples in that aesthetic. You can see exactly what minimalist looks like versus editorial versus UGC before you commit. Hover over any vibe to see how it interacts with your current Brand DNA profile in a live preview.
- 2 Pick a vibe. Tap any vibe to select it. The selection locks that visual style for your next generation. You can also combine a vibe with a seasonal modifier (summer warmth, holiday sparkle, back-to-school energy) for even more specificity. Studio users can save favorite vibes and create custom ones from reference images.
- 3 Generate ads in that style. Hit generate and Mani produces ad variations in your selected vibe, grounded in your Brand DNA. Your colors, your tone, your products. The vibe controls layout density, typography weight, image treatment, whitespace ratio, and visual rhythm. You get three to five variations per generation, each true to the vibe and true to your brand.
· WHY IT MATTERS ·
Real scenarios, real impact
Match a competitor aesthetic
Your competitor just launched a gorgeous editorial campaign on Instagram and it is performing. You want that same visual energy but in your brand. Open Vibe Picker, select "Editorial," and generate. In under a minute you have ads with that same premium photography feel, that same generous whitespace, that same magazine-quality layout. But the colors are yours. The products are yours. The voice is yours. No copying. Just inspiration applied through your brand lens.
Seasonal vibe shift
Your brand runs clean and minimal most of the year, but the holidays call for something warmer. Instead of rethinking your entire brand identity for December, pick the "Luxury" vibe with a holiday modifier. Mani generates ads with richer textures, warmer tones, and more layered compositions while keeping your core brand DNA intact. In January, switch back to minimalist. Your brand evolves seasonally without losing its thread.
A/B testing visual styles
You have been running the same visual style for six months and performance is plateauing. Is it the copy? The audience? Or the aesthetic? Generate the same campaign brief in three different vibes and split-test them. Maybe your audience responds better to UGC-style authenticity than to the polished editorial look you have been running. Vibe testing surfaces insights that copy testing and audience testing cannot reach on their own.

Common questions
How many visual styles does Vibe Picker offer?
Twelve styles at launch with more added monthly. The current library includes minimalist, bold, editorial, UGC, retro, luxury, brutalist, organic, neon, pastel, dark mode, and illustrated. Each vibe comes with a mood board preview showing real ad examples so you know exactly what you are selecting before generation starts.
Can I combine multiple vibes into one ad?
Not directly in a single generation, but you can generate the same brief in two different vibes and pick the elements you like from each. Many users run the same campaign brief through three or four vibes, then cherry-pick the winners. The Campaign Studio plan lets you batch this process across all vibes at once.
Do the vibes override my Brand DNA settings?
Vibes layer on top of your Brand DNA, they never replace it. Your colors, tone, and products remain locked. The vibe controls the visual composition, layout patterns, typography weight, and image treatment. Think of your Brand DNA as the content and the vibe as the container that holds it.
Can I create a custom vibe?
On Studio and Scale plans, you can create custom vibes by uploading three to five reference images. Mani extracts the visual patterns (layout density, color temperature, typography style, image treatment) and creates a reusable vibe template. Custom vibes are stored in your workspace and available to your entire team.
How does Vibe Picker work for A/B testing?
Generate the same campaign brief in two or three different vibes. Export all variations to your ad platform. Let performance data tell you which aesthetic resonates with your audience. Over time you will build a clear picture of which vibes perform for your brand and your ICP. Many Mani users report that vibe testing reveals audience preferences that traditional copy testing misses entirely.
Is Vibe Picker available on the free tier?
The Vibe Picker feature is available on all paid plans starting from Solo. Free-tier users can preview vibes and see sample outputs on the /vibes gallery page, and they can use the free Vibe Picker tool at /tools/vibe-picker to test one vibe with a sample brief. Full generation requires a Solo plan or higher.
