1 of our apps does $300,000/yr, we scaled this app with literally only 4 winning ad creatives using tiktok spark ads, and currently we are scaling to $1m/y with an ad system that runs autonomously by our Openclaw agent Eddie.
the reason we delegated our ad cretion porccess to eddie is becuase
even though @maubaron and I cracked gold with 4 ads that fueled the whole growth of the app, they eventually burnt out.
and no longer produce the same results. thats the reality of ads. they usually last 1-2 months
also making new winning ads is time consuming.
and thats why we outsourced our whole ad creation system to Eddie using Arcads + Apify + the insane brain of markup files we created for him.
here is exactly how the whole system works:
Part 1: Eddie researches our competitors automatically
Eddie has a custom skill called ad-research. it uses Apify to scrape the Meta Ad Library directly.
you give it a keyword or an advertisers name ( whatever your niche is.)
Eddie pulls every active video ad running in that niche right now. 10, 20, 50 ads and sorts them from oldest to newest
Older ads usually means more profitable. then he downloads the actual video files from fbcdn.
then he runs every single video through OpenAI Whisper. word for word transcription.
he grabs every hook and breaks down every video. Eddie runs this for every competitor in the niche
by the end you have a full intel dump of what angles work
Part 2: Eddie learns your brand voice
most AI tools generate scripts and the scripts read like a marketing blog. Super generic and no personality.
Eddie runs on .md files. markdown files that define exactly how to write.
writing-rules.md is the anti-AI filter.
it bans every word that AI overuses.
he is trained on this wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing
This completely avoids all AI slop. also here is another prompt that works
then there is the brand voice file. which is trained on our influencer videos
And split into 3 files Voice.md product.md icp.md
eddie know how to talk like someone in our niche he knows exactly what the product does and he knows exactly who needs it
Eddie loads both files before writing a single word.
every script comes out in our voice.
with our positioning.
with our specific product facts baked in.
Part 3: Eddie generates 100s of script variations
from the competitor research, Eddie writes original scripts. for every competitor ad it found, it generates 2 outputs:
→ the original competitor script (body copy + transcript + angle breakdown)
→ a rewrite (same angle, same structure, our product and our voice )
so if Eddie scraped 30 competitor ads across 5 competitors, thats 30 rewrites.
each one in our voice. then we have the multiplier which is the ICP
we multiply the ads by the different icp ( ideal customer profiles ) that we know would buy and use our app.
each one built on a proven angle. then Eddie generates variations on the top performers.
50, 80, 100 variations.
one session. all built on competitor data.
all in Prayer Lock's voice.
Part 4: split between creators and Arcads
the best scripts go two places.
1. to our UGC creators.
Eddie sends them the top 10-15 scripts + the refference video from competitors.
they film them. we pay $15-50/video.
2. the rest go to Arcads via API.
Eddie pushes scripts directly into Arcads. Arcads has 300+ AI actors + the ones we have made ourself
Eddie triggers the renders. and makes thousands of ads in a few minutes
same script → 5 different actors. same actor → 10 different hooks. we get back 50+ finished video ads.
heres an example of how it looks
combined with our creators, we are testing 100+ creatives per month. we let meta handle which creatives to push
but wait.. it gets even crazier
Part 5: the self improvement loop
after the ads run, performance data goes back into Eddie via singulars api Which is the mmp that we use.
he analyzes which ads had the best CPA doubles down on that creative direction
And makes a mental note on what works best.
then on the next run he generates a new batch based on the winners.generate → evaluate → regenerate.
the system gets better on every cycle.
the whole pipeline runs mostly without us, and we are still refining this systme
we are running one of the very first vibe advertising eco-systems in the app space.
