See competitor ad creatives as images, right inside Claude
Connect Pango Neuro to Claude to view the ads a competitor is running on Meta and Google as a card in your conversation, then break down their messaging in the same thread.
Stop reading about competitor ads and start seeing them
Planning a new season's creative usually starts with a look at what competitors are running. That means opening Meta Ad Library and Google Ads Transparency Center in separate tabs, screenshotting the ads worth keeping and pasting them into a planning doc.
With Pango Neuro connected to Claude, one message gets you started. A competitor ad lookup now returns an Ad creatives card inside the conversation, so you can scan images and video thumbnails side by side. Claude used to show image links as plain text, so you only got descriptions. Now you see the actual creative and keep analyzing in the same thread.
Where the ads come from and what the card shows
Pango Neuro searches the ad libraries and search results that each platform makes public. Name the platform in your question, or let Claude pick the right source for what you asked.
| Source | What you can find | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Meta Ad Library | Ads running on Facebook, Instagram and Threads | Finds the brand's page and shows only that page's ads. Active ads by default. |
| Google Ads Transparency Center | Search, YouTube and display ads | Most accurate when you search by advertiser (company) name or official domain rather than brand name. |
| Naver search results | Power Link and shopping ads in Korean search | Search ads are mostly listed in the answer rather than shown in the card. |
| YouTube search | Sponsored and review videos about a brand | These are search results, not an ad library. |
Each tile shows the creative, the advertiser name and the ad copy. Click an image to open the original ad library page; video ads play right inside the card. A card holds up to 40 ads.
TikTok's ad library only covers ads shown in the European Economic Area, the UK, Switzerland and Türkiye. You can't look up TikTok ads run in Korea, the US or Japan, but you can see a brand's public account posts and engagement.
How to ask so you get the right brand
When a brand name is shared by several companies, ads from the wrong advertiser can slip in. Claude will show a list of candidates and ask which one you mean, but adding a few details up front usually gets it right the first time.
- Include the official domain: Google ads are matched most accurately by domain. Write it as “Brand (example.com)”.
- Mention other names: If the brand and the advertising company have different names, give both, such as the product brand and the company that runs it.
- Set the platform and time frame: “currently running on Meta” or “on Google in the last 30 days” makes comparisons easier.
Before you act on what you see
- There are no performance numbers: Ad libraries don't publish impressions or spend. You can guess that a long-running ad is working, but that isn't confirmed performance. Use competitor ad spend estimation to gauge a competitor's budget.
- Cards stay available for 24 hours: You can bring the same results back as a card in the same workspace for a day; after that, run a new lookup. If a platform's image link expires, the tile shows “Couldn't load image”, but the original link still works.
- Reference is not copying: Use competitor ads to read message direction and format, and don't reuse their images or copy as they are.
The same competitor ad lookup also works in the Pango Neuro web chat. There, results open in the ad creatives panel on the right, along with the run dates and placements.
