How it fits your workflow
Start by sharing your product website URL, brand, product, and goals. Playad asks clarifying questions, then helps plan campaigns and create ads or social content.
Use chat to collaborate on tasks, or use the scheduler for recurring work such as performance checks, reports, creative refreshes, and experiment suggestions. Connecting ad accounts enables account-specific recommendations and performance-aware actions.
Playad tracks experiment results and campaign history to inform later recommendations. It can prepare campaigns and changes, but users approve important launches and updates.
