AI TL;DR
Google's new Pomelli AI analyzes your website, learns your brand identity, and generates complete social media campaigns — for free. Here's how to use it.
Google Pomelli: Free AI Marketing Tool That Creates Brand-Perfect Social Media Campaigns
If you run a small business and dread creating social media content, Google just solved your biggest problem. Google Pomelli is a free AI marketing tool from Google Labs that analyzes your website, learns your brand's visual style and voice, and generates complete, on-brand social media campaigns — posts, images, captions, and all.
No design skills. No copywriting experience. No budget. Just your website URL and a campaign idea.
What Is Google Pomelli?
Pomelli is an experimental AI tool developed by Google Labs in partnership with Google DeepMind. Unlike general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini, Pomelli is built specifically for one thing: marketing content that looks and sounds like your brand.
The key differentiator? Pomelli doesn't just generate generic marketing content. It first studies your existing brand identity — your colors, fonts, tone, imagery style, and messaging — then uses that understanding to generate content that's consistent with who you already are.
How the Business DNA Builder Works
The magic behind Pomelli is what Google calls "Business DNA" — an AI-generated profile of your brand identity.
What Pomelli Analyzes
When you enter your website URL, Pomelli scans and extracts:
| Element | What It Learns |
|---|---|
| Logo | Your logo, brand marks, visual identity |
| Color palette | Primary, secondary, and accent colors from your site |
| Typography | Font styles and heading hierarchy |
| Tone of voice | Formal, casual, playful, professional, etc. |
| Key messaging | Your value propositions and core benefits |
| Visual style | Photography style, illustration preferences |
| Product/service info | What you sell and who you serve |
The Result
After scanning (takes about 30-60 seconds), Pomelli creates a Business DNA profile that serves as the foundation for every piece of content it generates. You can review and edit this profile if any elements aren't quite right.
What Pomelli Can Create
Social Media Posts
Generate complete posts for:
- Instagram (feed posts, stories, carousels)
- Facebook (posts, cover images)
- X/Twitter (posts with images)
- LinkedIn (professional posts)
Each post includes:
- An AI-generated image using your brand colors and style
- A caption written in your brand's tone of voice
- Relevant hashtags
- Multiple variations to choose from
Marketing Campaigns
Tell Pomelli your campaign goal and it generates a complete content series:
Example prompt: "Create a 7-day Instagram campaign for our winter sale with 15% OFF on premium products. Tone: friendly and premium."
Pomelli generates:
- 7 coordinated posts with consistent visual theme
- Captions that build on each other
- A mix of promotional and engagement content
- All using your brand colors, fonts, and voice
Photoshoot Feature (New)
One of the most exciting additions: Pomelli can transform simple product photos into professional-grade studio or lifestyle shots:
- Upload a basic product photo
- Pomelli uses your Business DNA + Nano Banana image generation
- Get professional studio shots with proper lighting, backgrounds, and styling
- Multiple variations for different platforms
This alone could save small businesses thousands on product photography.
Image-to-Video Animation
Pomelli's newest capability lets you turn static images into animated videos:
- Powered by Google's Veo 3.1 technology
- Add motion, audio, and effects to any campaign image
- Create engaging animated content for TikTok, Reels, and Stories
- No video editing skills required

The Key Advantage
Other tools make you set up your brand manually — uploading logos, selecting colors, defining tone guides. Pomelli figures it all out automatically from your website. That's the difference between spending 30 minutes on brand setup and spending 30 seconds.
Tips for Getting the Best Results
-
Make sure your website represents your brand well — Pomelli learns from what it sees. If your website is outdated, the generated content will reflect that.
-
Provide specific campaign details — "Create an Instagram post" gives generic results. "Create a warm, inviting Instagram post announcing our new spring menu featuring our outdoor patio seating" gets much better output.
-
Edit your Business DNA — If Pomelli's initial scan gets something wrong, fix it immediately. Every future generation will benefit.
-
Generate multiple variations — Ask for variations and pick the best elements from each. Mix and match captions with different images.
-
Enhance with product URLs — When creating campaign content, include specific product page URLs in your prompts for more accurate and relevant creatives.
-
Use the Photoshoot feature for product images — Even a smartphone photo can become a professional product shot.
The Bottom Line
Google Pomelli solves a real problem: small businesses need social media content but can't afford a marketing team or design subscription. The Business DNA approach is genuinely clever — instead of starting from scratch, it starts from who you already are.
Is it perfect? No. You can't publish directly from it, it's only available in four countries, and some outputs will need editing. But for a free tool that generates brand-consistent marketing campaigns in minutes, it's remarkable.
If you're in a supported region, there's zero reason not to try it. Visit labs.google.com/pomelli, enter your website URL, and see your brand through AI eyes.
