Overview

This skill has your AI agent pull a brand's ads from the public Meta, Google and LinkedIn ad libraries through the ScrapeCreators API. It groups the ads by pain point, offer and angle, collects headlines and calls to action into a swipe file, summarises Meta video ad transcripts, and suggests tests. Marketers and founders get a written teardown with a link to each ad.

It works from the ads a competitor runs today, and it says an ad is active or repeated rather than claiming it performs well.

Good to know

You want to know how a competitor sells before you write your own ads. The skill fetches its active ads from public ad libraries and turns them into a teardown of angles, offers and calls to action with source links.

Limits

  • Each API request uses ScrapeCreators credits, and the free credits cover a small trial. Spend, conversions and targeting are not public, so the teardown only shows what the ads say and how often they repeat.
  • Video transcripts come from the Meta ad library only.
