Powered by: Apify + InVideo AI + Claude AI

Input any competitor or niche. Get every active Google & Meta ad they're running — copy, creatives, angles, landing pages, spend signals — analyzed by AI and rebuilt into winning ad templates ready for your own campaigns.

💥 Why This Skill Will Dominate ClawHub

The #1 shortcut in paid advertising is this: don't guess what works — copy what's already proven. The problem? Manually spying on competitors takes hours, across multiple tools that each cost $100–$300/month.

This skill replaces them all. One run. Every competitor ad. Fully analyzed.

Every media buyer, agency, brand, and e-commerce store is your target. Paid ads is a $600B/year industry — everyone running ads needs this.

What gets automated:

• 🕵️ Scrape all active ads from any competitor on Meta & Google
• 📊 Detect spend signals — how long an ad has been running = proof it's profitable
• 🧠 Analyze hooks, angles, CTAs, formats that are performing best
• 🖼️ Extract all creative assets — images, video thumbnails, ad copy
• 🔗 Capture landing page strategy — what happens after the click
• ✍️ Claude AI rewrites winning ads adapted to your brand & offer
• 🎬 InVideo AI produces video ad versions of winning creatives
• 📋 Deliver a battle-ready swipe file for your next campaign

⚡ Pro Tips to Launch Winning Campaigns Faster

• An ad running 90+ days = guaranteed winner — that's your primary target to model
• Look for ads running MULTIPLE VARIATIONS of the same angle — that means they found a winner and are scaling it
• Always model the angle, never copy the copy — same idea, your words, your brand
• Start with the hook — 80% of ad performance is decided in the first 3 seconds
• Run your InVideo video ads against your competitor's static image — video almost always wins on Meta & TikTok
