# Generate video concepts

> Starts three concepts for a product and audience, each with its own hook, setting and creator. Free. `audience_id` is required: a saved audience, or `null` for broad concepts. An audience that already has concepts keeps them unless `force` is true, which replaces them. Poll GET /video-concepts until they have titles.
