Adside – AI-Native Paid Ads Agency of Specialised Agents

Description

Adside is a team of specialised AI agents that manage paid ads for you. They research your market, draft a strategy, create static and video ads, launch campaigns, monitor accounts, rotate tired creatives and write the reports, across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Reddit and X. You run it yourself in Adside, Claude or ChatGPT, or hand it to a human expert on the managed service.

Adside is a Y Combinator company founded by repeat founders Robin Choy, who previously built HireSweet and Botdog, and his co-founder Gui, a software engineer of 13 years. Their Launch YC post in October 2026 said Adside was live with 30 companies.

Who Adside Is For

Adside is built for teams that want agency-level output without agency overheads:

• Start-ups and SaaS companies making paid ads a main growth channel.
• E-commerce and consumer brands testing lots of creative.
• Agencies and freelancers managing many client brands, priced per brand.
• Claude and ChatGPT users who want to run ads from a chat.

Core Capabilities

Specialist Agents Per Platform

Ask Adside for a retargeting campaign and it calls separate Meta, Google Ads and LinkedIn agents, each drafting a campaign from your pixel and customer lists. You review audiences, adjust budget split and approve before launching as paused.

Research and Briefs

Competitor ad boards pull rivals’ live ads into one place and flag new launches. Adside also watches X, Reddit and G2 for market chatter, finds competitors you should track, and turns any competitor ad into an AI creative brief saved to your brand brain.

Creative and Operations

The agents draft on-brand ad variants, resize every creative for each placement in one pass and bulk-import creatives. Adside says a campaign launch that takes 4.5 hours by hand takes 3.5 minutes.

Reporting on Autopilot

Accounts sync automatically, branded reports with plain-English commentary are generated, and they are sent to stakeholders on your schedule. Recurring routines and performance alerts keep you informed.
