AdPlay.ai helps you make Facebook and Instagram ads that follow what already works in your market. Set up your brand and products once, make image ads in the Ad Generator, launch them to your Meta ad account, then learn from the results. Start with your Brand Kit and one product.
Read this first if you are new to AdPlay.ai, or if you are not sure where to begin. It shows the path from an empty account to ads running on Facebook and Instagram, and where each step lives in the app.
What AdPlay.ai does
AdPlay.ai covers the work around a Meta ad:
- Research. Search real Facebook and Instagram ads in the Ad Library. Follow competitors in the Brand Tracker.
- Make. The Ad Generator studies winning ads in your market, suggests ideas, then makes image ads for your product.
- Polish. Change one ad with Ask AI, or design it by hand in the editor.
- Launch. Send your ads to your own Meta ad account.
- Improve. Insights shows which ads and ideas bring results. On Pro, Copilot checks your account every morning and suggests changes for you to approve.
The path, step by step
- Set up your brand. Onboarding asks for your website or Facebook page and fills in your Brand Kit: name, logo, colours and voice. Then add what you sell in Products & Services. Onboarding does not add products, so this step is yours. Every AI tool reads both. See Set up your brand.
- Make your first image ads. Open Ad Generator, pick one product and tap Research my market. You get an ideas board, each idea tied to a real ad. Tick the ideas you like and tap Generate. Your ads show on the Ads step when they are ready. See Make your first image ads.
- Polish the best ones. Open an ad. Use Ask AI to change the headline, the post text or the look. Each change is a try you keep or discard. See Polish an ad with Ask AI.
- Connect Meta and launch. In the account menu, open Integrations and tap Connect Meta. Then tap Launch on the ad page. You need the Owner, Admin or Ad Manager role to launch. See Connect Meta and Launch your ads.
- Read the results and make more. Once your ads have run for a few days, Insights shows which ads and ideas bring the cheapest results. Make more of what works and stop what does not. See Insights and Copilot.

Frequently asked questions
What is AdPlay.ai?
AdPlay.ai is an AI ad tool for businesses that advertise on Facebook and Instagram. It finds winning ads in your market, makes image ads for your products and launches them to your own Meta ad account. On Pro and Agency, Copilot also suggests what to change. It is not an ad network for showing ads inside your own app or website.

Do I need a Meta ad account to start?
No. You can research your market and make ads first, even if you have never run an ad. You need to connect a Meta ad account to launch ads and see their results. Connecting is free on every plan, including the trial.
Which languages can AdPlay.ai write my ads in?
English, Bahasa Melayu, and Chinese in Simplified or Traditional script. Set your usual language in the Brand Kit. You can still change it for any ad.

Is AdPlay.ai only for businesses in Malaysia?

Can I use AdPlay.ai on my phone?
Yes. AdPlay.ai works in the web browser on a computer or a phone. The editor is made for a computer, so on a phone it shows a warning first.
Do I need a website or an online shop to use AdPlay.ai?
No. You can fill in your Brand Kit from your Facebook page, and add a product by typing its details and uploading your own photos. To launch an ad on Meta, you need a web link for people to go to.
Do I need to know Meta ads before I start?
No. The free trial lets you research your market and make your first ads with no ads running. The free Meta ads course on adplay.ai/learn/course starts from the basics.
