Prompt libraries are usually padding. This one isn't: these are 12 prompts that take you from competitor research to a live campaign, in order, using the AdWhispr MCP server inside Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, or Cursor. Each prompt is copy-pasteable, each one fires real tools, and by prompt 9 you have a live campaign running.
Prerequisite: the AdWhispr connector set up in your assistant (Claude walkthrough, ChatGPT walkthrough), and — for the launch stage — an ad account connected via connect_ad_account. Free tier gets you 5 tool calls a month to test the water; Pro ($39/mo, 3-day trial) makes research calls unlimited.
Stage 1 — Research: find what's already working
1. Find a competitor's proven winners
Add [competitor] and show me their longest-running active ads.
For the top 3, break down the hook, format, tone, and offer.
Fires add_brand (or search_brands if they're already tracked), then get_brand_ads sorted by longevity. Days-running is the honest performance proxy — brands don't keep paying for losing ads, and AdWhispr tracks it from daily snapshots. At the time of writing, 74,000+ of the ~194,000 tracked ads have run 100+ days; here's why that signal beats invented ROAS scores.
2. Compare brands and find the gap
Compare [competitor A], [competitor B], and [competitor C].
Where do their strategies overlap, and what angle is nobody running?
compare_brands produces a side-by-side strategy diff — format mix, hook patterns, offers, iteration rate. The overlap tells you the category's table stakes; the empty space is your opening.
3. Pull competitor keyword intel
What Google keywords is [competitor] bidding on, and which
high-intent ones am I not covering?
research_competitor_keywords (plus research_keywords for your own seed terms) surfaces search intent conversationally — no Keyword Planner tabs, no CSV exports. We wrote a full deep-dive on competitor keyword research with an AI assistant, because this output feeds directly into prompts 7 and 8.
Stage 2 — Creative: clone the winner for your brand
4. Clone an image ad
Clone [competitor]'s longest-running image ad for my brand.
Keep the structure, swap in my product and brand voice.
clone_ad generates original creative grounded in the proven winner — the structure that survived the market, rebuilt in your identity. Never a copy; always cited back to the source ad. (The ethics and mechanics of cloning get their own post.)
5. Clone a video ad
Clone their top video ad — give me the version for my brand.
Same tool, video mode. You get creative built from the winning ad's skeleton: what it opens with, how it sequences the pitch, where the offer lands.
6. Clone a TikTok ad
Find the best-performing TikTok ads in my niche and clone
the strongest one for my brand.
research_tiktok_ads handles the discovery, clone_tiktok_ad the creative. TikTok-native structure matters — a cloned Meta ad dropped onto TikTok reads as an ad; a cloned TikTok ad reads as content.
Clones accumulate in your library — prompt "show me my creatives" fires list_my_creatives whenever you need to retrieve one. Pro includes 10 clones/month; credit packs (10/$19, 30/$39, 100/$99) cover sprints.
Stage 3 — Launch: put it live
7. Launch a Google Search campaign
Launch a Google Search campaign for [my product] at $40/day,
using the keyword list we built from [competitor].
launch_search_campaign — generally available — builds the campaign from the research already in the conversation. The keyword intel from prompt 3 doesn't get exported and re-imported; it's already in context.
8. Launch a Performance Max campaign
Launch a Performance Max campaign with the image clone from
earlier, $60/day, goal: purchases.
launch_pmax_campaign (also GA) takes your cloned creative and launches Google's full-inventory format. Creative from stage 2, keywords from stage 1, live campaign out.
9. Launch a clone on TikTok
Take the TikTok clone we made and launch it at $50/day.
launch_cloned_ad is the shortest research-to-live path in the toolset — it launches a clone directly. Behind it, launch_tiktok_campaign (GA, full video-ad builder) handles TikTok campaigns from scratch too. This prompt is the whole product in one line; the one-prompt version of the entire loop compresses prompts 1, 4, and 9 into a single message.
Stage 4 — Manage: run it by chat
10. Check performance
How did my campaigns do this week? Anything I should worry about?
get_account_performance plus list_campaigns. Because the same assistant launched these campaigns, it knows what each one was cloned from and why it exists — the answer comes with context, not just numbers.
11. Move budget
Shift the Search campaign to $60/day and drop PMax to $30/day.
update_budget, twice. No navigating three screens per campaign; state both changes in one sentence.
12. Pause the loser
Pause the TikTok campaign for now — we'll revisit Monday.
pause_campaign now, resume_campaign when Monday comes. And when something gets paused, the natural next message is "what should I run instead?" — which drops you back at prompt 1, in the same thread, with all the context intact.
Why this works as a loop
| Stage | Prompts | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Research | 1–3 | add_brand, get_brand_ads, compare_brands, research_competitor_keywords |
| Creative | 4–6 | clone_ad, clone_tiktok_ad, research_tiktok_ads |
| Launch | 7–9 | launch_search_campaign, launch_pmax_campaign, launch_cloned_ad |
| Manage | 10–12 | get_account_performance, update_budget, pause_campaign |
The old version of this workflow was five tools and a spreadsheet: spy tool for research, screenshots into a brief, a creative tool, Ads Manager for launch, a dashboard for monitoring. Every handoff lost context. Here, the research that justified the campaign lives in the same conversation as the button that pauses it.
Execution-only chat tools give you stages 3 and 4 with no stage 1 or 2 — you bring the strategy and creative yourself. Research-only spy tools give you stage 1 and stop. The full argument for owning the whole loop is in AdWhispr vs Adspirer.
