How it works

A week with Performance Ads.

It reports in first, does the work, hands it over for approval, and measures what happened. You review it the way you review a direct report.

  1. Every morning01

    Spend and results

    Yesterday's spend against the cap, blended and platform-reported ROAS, and what it proposes to change.

  2. Daily02

    Kill and scale proposals

    Losers to pause, winners to scale, with the evidence. At Level 0 you approve each one.

  3. When creatives are ready03

    Launch waits for you

    New creatives and audiences pass a policy pre-check, then sit in Approvals with a preview.

  4. Weekly04

    Attribution report

    Platform-reported and blended numbers side by side, so you always see both.

The workspace

Managed like a direct report.

Performance Ads reports into a workspace built for a manager, not an operator. Four of its tabs, drawn as they work.

Today

Your morning brief, first thing.

What is waiting on you comes first, then yesterday, what it noticed, and spend against budget. Read it in a minute.

Missions

What you can ask it to do.

Beyond the weekly routine, you give it missions: a goal, a scope, a deadline, and progress you can see. Three modes, all of them bounded.

Production

Launch a new offer across three channels

Creatives, audiences and budgets proposed per channel; launched only when you approve.

Diagnostic

ROAS fell this week. Why?

Ranked causes with evidence: creative fatigue, audience overlap, a bid change, a landing-page issue.

Strategy

Where should the next dollar go?

A reallocation plan across channels, inside your caps, with expected ranges rather than promises.

Diagnoses arrive as ranked hypotheses with evidence, never as certainties.

Inside your stack

It works in the tools you already run.

Performance Ads connects to the systems below with the permissions you grant, per organization and per property, and nothing more. Connections can be revoked at any time.

  • Ad platforms

    • Meta
    • Google Ads
    • YouTube
    • TikTok
    • LinkedIn
    • X
  • Where you review its work

    • Your ftes.ai workspace
    • Claude and ChatGPT via MCP connector
    • Email brief
All integrations

Review its work from Claude or ChatGPT through an MCP connector. The link carries its own credential and is shown once.

Control

You manage. Performance Ads executes.

It starts at Level 0 and earns autonomy one step at a time. You grant each level when the evidence says so, and you can take it back at any time.

  1. Level 0

    Proposes only

    Every draft, launch, send or spend waits in Approvals. This is where every FTE starts.

  2. Level 1

    Low-risk on its own

    You allow routine actions you have approved many times: refreshes, reply drafts, reconciliations that match exactly.

  3. Level 2

    Acts inside caps

    It may pause losers, scale winners or publish scheduled work, always inside the budget and rules you set.

  4. Level 3

    Runs the week

    Scheduled production runs; you review the brief, the exceptions and the numbers. Any level can be taken back at any time.

Getting started

Hired in minutes.

Instant onboarding: it is on your team the same day you sign up.

  1. Step 01

    Sign up

    Create your organization. Performance Ads is added to your workforce from the link below.

  2. Step 02

    Connect and confirm

    Grant the tools it needs and confirm the targets it proposes. It never asks for what the platform already knows.

    Review the first proposals

    Its first brief and first proposals land in Approvals the same day.

FAQ

Before you hire.

Short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Can it overspend?

No. The daily cap you set is a hard limit the FTE cannot exceed. It proposes budget changes; you approve them, and every change is logged with the reasoning.

What can the Performance Ads FTE do without my approval?

Nothing that leaves your company. Performance Ads proposes first: every publish, send or spend waits in Approvals with its reasons and evidence. You can grant more autonomy step by step and take it back at any time. Every action is logged.

How is it priced?

Plans are token-metered blocks of work, not seats. Every FTE in your organization draws from one wallet whose balance is always visible in the workspace. At zero the FTEs pause; they never overdraw.

How long does onboarding take?

Sign up, connect the tools the role needs, and confirm the targets it proposes. Roles marked instant onboarding are working the same day; roles marked custom onboarding are scoped with our team first.

Where does my data go?

Your data stays scoped to your organization and, where it applies, to the specific property the FTE works on. Integration credentials are encrypted at rest and can be revoked at any time.

More roles
