The problem it solves

Keeping tabs on what competitors are running in their ads normally means manually scrolling through an ad library and copying details by hand. You need organized, complete data on their creative, targeting, and campaigns without the busywork.

Who it fits

Marketing agencies or e-commerce brands that track competitor advertising.

How it works

  1. You type a plain English request, like recent video ads from a specific brand
  2. AI translates your request into a precise search
  3. The system pulls matching ads, images, video, and targeting details
  4. You receive organized results ready to review or export
What you get

Competitor ad data organized for you

You type a plain English request and get back organized data on your competitors' Facebook and Instagram ads.

What you get

A structured dataset of competitor ads including creative, targeting, and campaign details.

What you need

An OpenAI API key and an Apify account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
