The problem it solves

You know competitors are running ads that work, but digging through the Facebook Ads Library and watching every video and image takes hours you don't have. It's hard to spot patterns in messaging and creative when you're eyeballing dozens of ads one at a time.

Who it fits

A marketer or business owner who wants a fast read on what competitors' ads are actually saying.

How it works

  1. You submit a competitor keyword through a simple form
  2. Matching ads are pulled from the Facebook Ads Library
  3. Images are analyzed by AI to describe the visuals and text
  4. Videos are downloaded and reviewed by Gemini for visuals and spoken content
  5. All the findings are compiled into a spreadsheet
What you get

Competitor ad breakdowns ready to compare

Type in a competitor's name and get their Facebook ad images and videos broken down into a clear spreadsheet you can review.

What you get

A spreadsheet summarizing what competitors' ad creative looks like and says.

What you need

Accounts for Apify, Google Gemini, OpenAI, and Google Sheets.

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.
