meta ad analyzer v1.0.0
/// apify actor · 8-pass pipeline · $0.20/video

Most ad spy tools show you what. This shows you why.

Paste any brand's Meta Ad Library link. Every video ad gets pulled through eight AI passes — perception (Whisper, Gemini Vision) and judgment (deterministic persuasion scoring, verbatim claim pinning, adversarial validation). You get the anatomy.

"They're running this ad. Now what?"

AdSpy charges $249 a month to show you ads that already shipped. Foreplay charges $49–249 a month for the same view. You stare at the creatives. You guess at the angle. You can't replicate what you can't deconstruct. Description isn't analysis. Vibes aren't a brief.

01

Eight passes. Each one feeds the next.

Four named AI engines for perception. Four proprietary systems for judgment. Output of pass n is structured input for pass n+1.

02

The X-Ray: one real ad, fully decomposed.

What you get back, per video.

→ 01

Persuasion Score (0–100)

Composite of mechanism clarity, proof strength, claim density, tension depth, and urgency. Same ad analyzed twice always produces the same number. No AI vibes.

→ 02

Hook Archetype

Direct address · rapid montage · problem-agitation · demonstration · social proof · curiosity gap · offer-led · before/after.

→ 03

Claims, pinned to quotes

Every promise extracted as a verbatim quote from the transcript or on-screen text. If the system can't find the exact words, the claim gets thrown out.

→ 04

11 proof types

Authority, certification, demonstration, measurement, narrative testimony — each scored individually.

→ 05

7-tier credibility

Institutional → user-generated → self-asserted. Sources weighted by tier.

→ 06

Cognitive tensions

Speed vs trust. Simplicity vs control. Cheap vs risky. Novelty vs safety. The push-pull forces inside the ad.

→ 07

Mechanism flag

Does the ad explain the how, or only promise the what?

→ 08

Strategic report

Cross-video synthesis: patterns the brand keeps using and gaps you can attack.
