How to use Auto Mode in Symphony Agent
In Symphony Creative Studio, Symphony Agent offers two generation modes: Manual Mode and Auto Mode. Auto Mode lets you skip step-by-step confirmations and go directly from your input to finished videos. Instead of reviewing and confirming the product brief, insight report, and storyboard at each stage, Auto Mode handles these steps automatically in the background, delivering your videos faster.
Benefits of Auto Mode in Symphony Agent
Faster time to video: Go from prompt to finished video in about 5–6 minutes, compared to 15+ minutes in Manual Mode.
Fewer clicks: No need to confirm intermediate steps, the agent handles product analysis, storyboard creation, and generation automatically.
Batch generation: Generate up to 3 video variations in a single session, each with a different creative angle, so you can compare and pick the best one.
Preset video preferences: Set your preferences for voiceover, music, captions, and number of videos upfront, so every generated video matches your requirements from the start.
Full control preserved: You can still refine results by chatting with the agent after videos are delivered, or switch to Manual Mode in a new session for step-by-step control.

How batch generation works in Auto Mode
When you set the number of videos to 2 or 3, the agent generates multiple video variations in parallel. How it creates variations depends on your input:
If you provide a detailed storyboard: The agent generates multiple videos from the same storyboard with different visual seeds, giving you varied executions of the same creative direction.
If you select a reference video or template: The agent creates multiple storyboard variations from the same reference, each emphasizing a different creative element (e.g., different hooks, CTAs, or selling points).
If you provide only a product description: The agent matches your product to multiple creative strategies (potentially inspired by trends, templates, top ads, and your textual description) and generates a unique video for each.
After delivery, you can ask the agent to regenerate all videos, regenerate a specific video, or request changes to any video by referencing it in your prompt.
