Pollo AI funds SYSTEM creators – CPP rewards and Veo 3.1 Sundays showcase Hailuo 2.3
Executive Summary
Pollo AI just did what most “community” programs dodge: it put tangible fuel behind maker output. The company is partnering with SYSTEM Art Community to fund creators through its Creative Partner Program (CPP), bundling membership rewards with ongoing event support rather than one‑off swag. You can see it immediately in the feed: SYSTEM’s Sunday Special leans on Veo 3.1 via Pollo AI, while polished Hailuo 2.3 reels, POV rides, and moody shorts pile up — distribution and tooling stitched into a single cadence.
Crucially, the on‑ramp is clear. Guidance threads spell out how members join, where to post, and which perks unlock during the collab window, so the pipeline feels like a brief, not a scavenger hunt. The output spans text‑to‑video and image‑to‑video, including brand‑style logo motion studies and shot‑ready blocking, which makes CPP feel less like a coupon and more like a production partner. Creators are tagging Pollo AI by default, a good signal that the incentive design is working: funding follows visibility, and visibility feeds the next commission.
If you’re gearing up for these prompts, Adobe Firefly is unlimited through Dec 1 — a handy sidecar for rapid look dev while the Pollo × SYSTEM cadence ramps.
