Gridcraft: when the article already has lists, data, or product comparisons.
Gridcraft uses warm editorial bento grids to present structured narratives, comparisons, and data-rich content with magazine-quality layouts. The template excels when the source article already contains lists, metrics, step-by-step processes, or product comparisons. Each layout — from bento feature grids to editorial body text to KPI dashboards — gives analytical and marketing content a structured, professional feel that avoids the generic look of most AI video tools.
