I Built an Automation That Analyzes Competitor Ads and Generates Winning Ad Ideas

I built an automation that analyzes competitor ads and generates similar high-performing ads for clients.

One thing I noticed while working with ads is that a lot of time is spent manually researching competitors going through ad libraries, noting what hooks they use, which creatives repeat, what messaging works, etc.

So I decided to automate that part.

What the automation does:

• Collects competitor ads from different sources

• Analyzes patterns in copy, hooks, creatives, and offers

• Identifies what seems to be performing repeatedly

• Generates a similar ad concept tailored for a client’s product/service

The idea is not to copy competitors directly, but to identify proven structures and adapt them. This reduces hours of manual analysis and speeds up the ad creation process.

Still improving it and experimenting with different analysis methods.

Curious to know:

How are you currently researching competitor ads?

Do you do it manually or use tools/automations?
