Hire your AI paid ads manager
Creative testing, budget allocation, and CAC discipline — run by chat.
Your AI Paid Ads Manager runs the daily operations of Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and TikTok ads so you stop being the person staring at CPM graphs at midnight. It launches creative tests, moves budget between winners, pauses losers before they compound, and reports CAC against LTV in a language your CFO respects.

Frequently asked questions
How does an AI paid ads manager compare to an agency?
A good agency charges $3-$8K/month plus ad spend management fees and typically assigns a junior to your account. What you get: weekly reports, some strategic guidance, and someone to complain to when things go wrong. An AI Paid Ads Manager costs a fraction of that, runs daily instead of weekly, and never forgets what you told it. What you lose: the political cover of saying 'the agency recommended it' and the rare senior strategist who has run your category for a decade. For most founders under $100K/mo ad spend, the math strongly favors the AI. Above that, a hybrid — AI for execution, senior consultant for strategy — usually wins.
Can it actually launch ads, or does it just recommend?
It launches. Connected to Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads, LinkedIn, and TikTok, it creates campaigns, writes copy, uploads creative, sets targeting, and toggles budget. You set the autonomy boundary: a launch might need your approval above $X daily spend, or below $X it runs itself. Most founders start with a $50/day approval ceiling in week one and raise it to $500/day by month two as trust compounds. The entire point is to stop being the person who has to sit down and configure the ad set.
How does attribution work when every platform claims credit?
The AI Paid Ads Manager uses one source of truth — your CRM or product analytics — for revenue attribution, and treats platform-reported conversions as leading indicators. The weekly CFO report shows blended CAC (total ad spend divided by net new customers), not a sum of each platform's self-reported number. This way Meta, Google, and LinkedIn are not triple-counting each other. It's the same methodology a good head of growth would use; the AI just does it every week instead of every quarter.
What about brand safety and placement control?
Every campaign ships with a block list and placement controls by default. The AI Paid Ads Manager audits placements weekly (Meta Audience Network, Google Display partners) and escalates anything unusual. For LinkedIn and TikTok, it moderates comments where your account shows up and flags abuse patterns to the AI COO for policy review. Founders who are especially sensitive can set the autonomy boundary to require human approval for any placement change, which adds a day to iteration but keeps everything inside a tight perimeter.
When should I still hire a human ad specialist?
Three cases. First: spend north of $500K/mo where the marginal win from a senior strategist is material. Second: highly regulated categories (crypto, health, finance) where a specialist's judgment on compliance is worth the fee. Third: when your business depends on a single platform's algorithm quirks (pure Meta e-commerce play at scale) and you need someone with deep relationships at the platform. Outside those three, most founders report the AI outperforms the freelancer they were paying, at a fraction of the cost, with weekly reports instead of monthly.
