The problem it solves

Finding out what ads are working for competitors means manually scrolling through ad libraries and guessing what to try next. Turning that research into new creative takes even more time you don't have.

Who it fits

Marketing and paid ads teams looking for fresh, proven creative ideas.

How it works

  1. You provide a search keyword for competitor ads
  2. The system scrapes matching ads from the ad library
  3. AI analyzes each ad's image and generates remixed variants
  4. The new ad variants and details are saved to Google Drive and Google Sheets
What you get

Fresh ad concepts ready before your next campaign

You get a set of remixed ad variants inspired by your competitors' top performers, ready to review for your next campaign.

What you get

A folder of AI-remixed ad variants plus a spreadsheet log of the source ads.

What you need

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