The author built an 'AI Creative Research Engine' on Claude: 8 Meta Ad Library searches turn 1,256 competitor ads into one evidence-backed creative brief, replacing $5,000/month research retainers.
Pipeline in six steps:
- Scan: 8 searches → 863 clean ad records
- Survival check: 1,256 versions → the 349 still running after 30+ days
- Compare: 245 advertisers → the 14 worth studying
- Transcribe: 478 videos → 387 unique scripts
- Break down: hook, visual, offer, CTA per survivor
- Brief: patterns → one original creative concept
Every idea keeps its source ad, advertiser and link attached. The author offers the dashboard, all 9 Claude skills, the full pipeline and a worked run (engagement-bait to receive).
