Adside: A Team of AI Agents That Manage Paid Ads

Running ads means more than choosing an audience. Someone researches competitors, writes copy, resizes creative, launches campaigns and checks what happened. [1][3]

For a small team, those jobs can fill the week before anyone revisits the strategy.

Adside gives that team AI agents for the daily advertising work.

Its AI Agency researches markets, drafts campaigns, creates static and video ads, and monitors accounts. Teams can manage the agents themselves or use a human expert through the managed service. [1]

The product brings research, creative and operations into one place. [1][3]

An AI team for the whole campaign

Adside starts with the market and the brand. Competitor boards collect live ads. Monitoring across X, Reddit and G2 helps teams see the conversations and angles shaping their market. [1][3]

Brand information and a campaign brief guide the next steps. Agents draft copy, propose campaign structure and prepare creative for different placements. [1][3]

The same system helps teams import creative in bulk, monitor performance and produce reports. Robin Choy highlighted creating, importing, monitoring and reporting across Google, Meta and LinkedIn for this article. [4]

Adside’s broader AI Agency supports Reddit and Twitter too. Teams can work across brands with unlimited users and per-brand pricing. [1]

Founders who learned paid ads on their own business

Robin Choy and Guillaume Miara worked beside each other for years before building Adside. They bootstrapped a software company together and sold it. [2]

They also ran that company’s ads. Getting campaigns profitable took experimentation, and much of the recurring work was research, setup, resizing and reporting. [2]

Choy previously founded HireSweet, a Y Combinator Winter 2020 company. Miara worked on software at Oscar Health and fintech infrastructure at Defacto. They started Adside in early 2026. [2]

Adside joined Y Combinator’s Fall 2026 batch. The founders are building the advertising service they wanted while running their previous business. [5]

From a new brief to the next creative test

Here’s how a startup marketing team would use Adside.

The team adds its brand and connects advertising accounts. It researches competitors, develops a brief and asks the agents to prepare campaign and creative options. [1][3]

Marketers edit the proposed copy and assets, then use Adside’s operations tools to prepare and manage the campaign. Reports and creative analysis help them decide what to test next. [1][3]

An agency can organize the same work across several client brands. Per-brand pricing and unlimited users let the account team work together without adding seats for every collaborator. [1]

For a company without an ads team, the managed service adds a dedicated human expert. That expert manages strategy, creative production, launch and reporting through the platform. [1]

A platform to run yourself, or a service to run it for you

The founders want Adside to become a default way for a business to run paid ads. Their two routes serve different teams: software for people running their own accounts, and a managed service for companies handing over the work. [2]

The managed service covers additional channels, including TikTok and Snapchat. The AI Agency’s channel coverage remains a separate offering. [1]

The bigger picture

A marketing team needs time to decide what its next campaign should say. Routine setup and reporting compete for that time. [1][2]

Adside is building a team of agents to carry more of that recurring work, with marketers or an expert still directing the account. [1]
