Gorroño reports a Meta API audit linking ad spend and purchases to six video transcripts, followed by thirteen paused retargeting ads and new CSV copy variants.
Reported by Nicolas GorroñoHow the agent did it
- Retrieve ad-level spend, purchases and revenue through Meta Ads MCP.
- Save recommendations with the budget-allocation arithmetic.
- Compare six local video transcripts with measured ad outcomes.
Where a person stepped in
Gorroño makes campaign decisions and records videos. Reported return changes are not independently attributed to Claude, and new creatives still fail to generate purchases.
Nicolas Gorroño connects Claude Code to Meta Ads through MCP to investigate losing campaigns for his AI Ranking community. The agent retrieves ad-level spend, purchases and revenue, then writes recommendations with budget-allocation calculations.
It also reads six video transcripts from his project folder and compares creative content with account outcomes. Two losing variants consumed nearly half the budget, while one stronger variant received roughly a fifth. Gorroño subsequently pauses thirteen losing retargeting ads and records new videos from generated concepts. The agent prepares copy for nine new variants in an upload-ready CSV.
The account contains an instructive negative result: those new creatives do not produce purchases. Gorroño retains evidence from the account rather than treating fresh AI-written scripts as guaranteed winners. A scheduled watchdog later pulls recent performance and flags pause or scaling candidates; it is a reporting script, not proof of an autonomous agent changing budgets.
Gorroño reports a sales-campaign return improvement, but the article does not establish controlled attribution to the agent. The useful workflow combines numerical evidence with the actual words used in ads, followed by human recording and campaign decisions. Its recommendations depend on the underlying purchase tracking and on small early samples, so observed creative associations should not be presented as universal causal rules.

Frequently asked questions
Why include video transcripts?
They let the agent compare the actual creative content with ad-level results rather than only comparing numerical performance.
Did the new creatives all work?
No. The author explicitly reports that the nine new variants produced no purchases.
Does the watchdog change budgets?
The described script produces pause and scaling candidates; the article does not demonstrate autonomous budget changes.

Remaining steps
- Review pause decisions and record selected new creative concepts.
- Inspect new-variant results and use scheduled reports as decision inputs.
