The problem it solves

Coming up with fresh ad creative every time a campaign goes stale takes design time you may not have, and staring at a blank page while competitors keep running winning ads is frustrating. You know what's working, you just need new versions of it.

Who it fits

A performance marketer, ad agency, or creative team running paid social campaigns.

How it works

  1. The system scrapes active image ads from Facebook based on your search terms
  2. It filters down to ads with usable creative
  3. AI analyzes each ad and writes a new design prompt with your requested changes
  4. A new ad image is generated from that prompt
  5. Original and new versions are saved to Google Drive and logged in a spreadsheet
What you get

Fresh ad concepts ready to test

You get new ad creative built from what's already working for competitors, organized and saved so your team always has fresh concepts on hand.

What you get

New AI-generated ad creative variations, organized by campaign and logged for tracking.

What you need

An Apify account, an OpenAI API key, a Google Drive account, and a Google Sheets 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.
