The problem it solves

Coming up with new ad creative from scratch is slow, and you know your competitors have already tested what works. Manually recreating their best-performing ads with your own product means hours in a design tool. This automates the whole process so you get new ad variations in minutes.

Who it fits

Marketers or agencies who want to quickly produce new ad creative inspired by proven competitor ads.

How it works

  1. You submit a competitor's Facebook Ad Library link and a photo of your product
  2. The automation scrapes up to 20 ads from that competitor
  3. AI analyzes each ad's design and messaging, then writes instructions for recreating it with your product
  4. AI generates a new ad image following those instructions
  5. Every original and generated ad is saved to Google Drive for you to review
What you get

Fresh ad concepts pulled from proven competitor creative

You hand over a competitor's ad link and your product photo, and get new ad creative built around what already works for them.

What you get

A folder of AI-generated ad images modeled on your competitor's best ads, featuring your own product.

What you need

An Apify account, a Google Gemini API key, and a Google Drive 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.
