A score you
can act on.

From brand to
finished ads.
Beyond auditing, Claude Ads can build creative end to end: four commands that chain into a full production pipeline.
/ads dna <url>Extract brand DNA
Scan a website to capture colors, typography, voice, and imagery → brand-profile.json.
/ads createDraft concepts & copy
Turn the brand profile into campaign concepts and copy briefs → campaign-brief.md.
/ads generateGenerate ad images
Produce platform-sized AI ad creatives straight from the brief → ad-assets/.
/ads photoshootProduct photography
Five studio-grade styles: Studio, Floating, Ingredient, In Use, and Lifestyle.
Image generation requires the banana-claude MCP. See the install page.
Built to be
trusted.
- Every audit check is open source: read it, edit it, fork it.
- Deterministic scoring: the same inputs always produce the same score.
- A pytest eval harness runs in CI so the docs never drift from the code.
- Tracks 2026-current platform changes where commercial tools can lag by 6–12 months.
