What it does

Given a competitor ad page or landing URL, the workflow scrapes the visible creative and copy, runs an agent analysis of the messaging angle and visual composition, and then generates a set of on-brand counter-variants with Replicate that respond to that angle. Results land in the Airtable review board tagged with the competitor source.
