Running Facebook ads with an AI agent: Claude and AdsPower in practice
An agent takes over a media buyer's routine: building campaigns, uploading creatives, watching spend and reporting. Here is how it works and where a human is still needed.
Updated: · Meta RDP, agency Meta ad accounts since 2023
Short answer: An AI agent is a model such as Claude that is given access to a browser with your ad account. Through the AdsPower local API the agent opens the right profile, works in Ads Manager like a buyer and carries out the brief, while a human reviews campaigns and confirms launches and budget changes.
How the setup works
- Ad account. An agency Meta ad account lives in its own AdsPower profile with its own proxy, so every account runs in an isolated browser.
- Connection. AdsPower can start a profile through its local API and hand browser control to an external program. Claude connects to the profile through that API.
- Brief. The buyer writes the task in plain language: geo, age, budget, creatives, campaign objective.
- Agent work. The agent builds campaigns in Ads Manager, uploads creatives, checks statuses and writes a report.
What the agent does well
- Builds similar ad sets across several languages and geos without copy-paste mistakes.
- Exports spend, impressions, clicks and leads by ad set into a sheet every day.
- Spots rejected ads and ad sets with no delivery and flags them in the report.
- Drafts changes: which ad sets to pause and where to move budget.
What stays with a human
- Confirming launches and budgets. Money is spent only after a person has reviewed the campaign.
- Creatives and offer. The agent builds from what you give it; the advertiser is responsible for the ad content.
- Appeals and review. Ads built by an agent go through the same Meta review.
