Clinic Heroes. A standalone, AI-powered web experience that turns veterinary staff into personalised superheroes, built for 3,500 to 4,000 users across the October 2026 campaign window.
"Everyone loved creating their superheroes. But the internal Elanco GPT can't be used publicly, and anyone who doesn't have an Elanco email can't log in."
Stephanie Sarulidis, Elanco - scoping call, 1 September 2026A mobile-first microsite hosted by Ven on Cloudflare. Users answer a short set of questions, upload a face photo or pick an avatar, and the app calls Elanco's AI endpoint to generate a unique superhero dossier: name, image, catchphrase and abilities. The output downloads as a print-ready file for Neptra branded mugs.
Ven builds the experience shell, hosting and API integration. Elanco owns the AI model, moderation, and campaign content. Two delivery options follow: a fast path for October, and a fuller build with more time.
A documented instruction set that converts variable user inputs into a locked, standardised master prompt for Elanco's in-house AI pipeline. Ven owns and delivers this layer.

Elanco owns the AI layer. Model hosting, API costs, moderation/safety policy and production operations sit with Elanco unless separately quoted.
API endpoint documented and testable before Ven's build phase starts. Without it, integration becomes exploratory and timeline/cost changes.
Brand assets supplied up front. Campaign copy, legal wording, fulfilment rules and Neptra brand materials provided by Pangea/Elanco.
October delivery requires immediate scope lock and fast access to the AI endpoint. Delays to either push the launch date.
Iframe integration (Stream 2 only) may require Elanco IT/security sign-off, which could add one to two weeks.
Mug print specs confirmed by Stephanie before Ven builds the export pipeline. Dimensions, DPI, colour profile and safe area.
Ven builds the experience. Elanco owns the AI. The boundary is clear and the clock is ticking for October.
Pick a stream. October MVP or full-featured build.
Confirm API readiness. Is Elanco's AI endpoint documented and available for integration?
Supply brand assets and mug specs. Neptra guidelines, style references, vendor print requirements.
Lock scope and kick off. Ven produces a formal agreement within 48 hours of confirmation.
