HelpAd Autopilot

The AI agent

The command center for one campaign's AI media buyer: what it has done, what needs your approval, and every rule it follows.

Console is free; approved actions may spend credits

The Agent page is where you run one campaign's AI media buyer. It plans, launches, monitors, and optimizes your Meta (Facebook and Instagram) campaigns, then brings every proposal back to you for approval. From here you approve or reject changes, respond to things only you can provide, review the full activity trail, and manage the guardrails and learnings that shape how the agent behaves. Ad Autopilot is in BETA and appears in the left nav once a Meta account is connected.

The agent proposes; you decide. Nothing that changes your campaign happens without your approval, and every executed action can be undone from the activity feed.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open the Agent page and pick your campaign

    Open Agent from the Ad Autopilot sidebar, then choose the account and campaign you want to review. Both selectors are type-to-search.

  2. 2

    Read the Impact strip

    The strip at the top summarizes actions taken, creatives refreshed, safety alerts, and how many items are awaiting you. It is your quick pulse on the campaign.

  3. 3

    Work the Approval inbox

    Each proposed change appears in the inbox. Approve or reject it. When an action carries a credit cost (for example a creative refresh, a localization, or a launch), the exact amount is shown on the Approve button before you spend anything. See Approving agent proposals.

  4. 4

    Handle 'Needs your input' and 'Recommendations'

    Needs your input covers things only you can provide, like uploading a creative the agent asked for. Recommendations are structural ideas the agent cannot apply on its own, so you decide whether to act on them.

  5. 5

    Review activity, moderation, and what the agent knows

    Scroll to Site recommendations (landing-page issues), the Activity feed (every action, alert, and decision, with Undo on executed actions), Comment moderation, Active guardrails, and What the agent knows (its self-cleaning memory).

Active guardrailsProtect an ad, avoid an angle, CPA or ROAS limits

The live set of rules the agent must follow. Set them via Agent chat; they appear here and are removable anytime.

What the agent knowsView and delete learnings

The agent's memory of what has and has not worked. Delete any wrong learning and it will not relearn it.

What costs credits

Viewing the console and approving decisions is free. Some approved actions carry their own credit cost, such as a creative refresh, a localization, or a launch. The exact amount always appears on the Approve button before you confirm, so you never spend without seeing the price first.

Best practices

  • Delete any wrong learning in What the agent knows so the agent stops acting on it.

  • Set guardrails (protect an ad, avoid an angle, CPA or ROAS limits) via Agent chat; they show up here and are removable anytime.

  • For retargeting campaigns, read the ROAS-honesty banner and judge results on incremental lift, not raw ROAS.

  • Use the Undo on executed actions in the activity feed if a change did not land the way you wanted.

  • Check Needs your input regularly so the agent is not waiting on a creative or a decision only you can give.

Troubleshooting

I cannot action the approvals

The agent may be paused (kill switch) for this campaign or account-wide. Resume it first, then try again. See Agent settings.

'Publish a campaign to see agent activity'

There are no campaigns yet. Launch one, and the agent will start reporting activity here.

A learning the agent keeps using is wrong

Open What the agent knows and delete that learning. It will not relearn a memory you have removed.

A retargeting campaign's ROAS looks too good

Retargeting campaigns show an ROAS-honesty banner. Judge them on incremental lift rather than the raw ROAS number.
