What we do

A managed ad-testing engine,
not just another LLM call.

Anyone can paste an ad into ChatGPT. Getting reliable, comparable, decision-grade scores is a different problem. One model can't do it all. AdTest.AI orchestrates a pipeline of best-in-class systems from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, AWS, and TwelveLabs — alongside our own behavioural-science scoring engine refined over years of research — to handle scene understanding, reasoning, transcription, celebrity and animated character/mascot recognition, and brand and logo detection. Dozens of purpose-built prompts, orchestrated so each model does what it's best at, with multi-provider failover and deterministic re-scoring — so the same ad always gets the same answer, even when an upstream API goes down. You upload a creative; we deliver a result you can sign off on.

Many prompts, one verdict

Each scoring dimension runs through its own engineered prompt and validation pass. We don't ask one model "is this ad good?" — we run a panel.

Mixed Score: AI + humans

Pair instant AI scoring with real first-party audience research. The Mixed Score reconciles what algorithms predict with what people actually say.

Always on the latest model

The frontier moves every few months. We swap in better models the week they release — your testing accuracy improves, your workflow doesn't change.

~90 seconds to a verdict

Traditional ad testing takes 2 weeks and a six-figure cheque. We deliver an AI report in under a minute and human audience reads in under 48 hours.

The honest comparison

I'll just ask ChatGPT- isn't enough.

Generalist LLMs are remarkable. They're also inconsistent, uncalibrated against real campaign outcomes, and have no audience layer. Pure market-research platforms have audiences but no AI. Other AI testing tools score creative — but rarely with a dimension model this rigorous, on this many channels, at this price.

The Score

One number you can trusts. A breakdown your team can act on.

Every creative receives an Overall Effectiveness score and an itemised breakdown across 13 expert-modelled dimensions — each derived from a separate prompt pass, calibrated against academic frameworks in advertising effectiveness, behavioural science, and neuromarketing.

  • Cognitive Neuro Balance — right-brain emotion vs. left-brain logic
  • Brand Asset Distinctiveness — does the brand actually own this look?
  • Goal Alignment — is the creative aimed at the objective the brief claims?
  • Predictive CTR & Competitor Score — how does it stack against category baselines?

How it works

From upload to greenlight, in four steps.

No setup calls. No bloated dashboards. No PhD required.

1

Upload your creative

Drop in up to 5 creatives to compare head-to-head - image, video, or messaging copy. Add your brief, campaign objective, and target market so every score is calibrated to the audience and outcome you actually care about.

2

AI scores in 90 seconds

Our orchestrated prompt engine routes each creative through best-in-class models from Anthropic, Google, AWS and TwelveLabs, scoring across 13 dimensions. You get a full comparative report - strengths, weaknesses and recommendations - in ~90 seconds.

3

Validate with real humans

Optional: send winners to a real first-party audience for national human ratings in ~90 minutes. Then merge your AI and audience results - mined against millions of validated reactions - into one decision-grade scored verdict per creative.

4

Deploy with confidence

Pick your winners, export the full audience dataset, and even receive model-driven media-buy recommendations across Google, Meta, TikTok, CTV and more — then push live.

The 13 dimensions

Every angle a senior strategist would check, in seconds.

Each dimension is its own prompt, its own rubric, its own QA pass. Together they produce a defensible, comparable score.

01
Core Message & Clarity

Will a viewer understand what's being sold and why it matters within the first three seconds?

02
Originality

How distinctive is the creative against category conventions and competitor templates?

03
Emotional Resonance & Persuasiveness

Does it move the viewer — and does that emotion translate into intent to act?

04
Visual Design & Hook

Is the opening frame strong enough to stop the scroll? Does composition support comprehension?

05
Brand Asset Distinctiveness

Are colours, logo, voice and characters unmistakably yours — even with the brand name removed?

06
Celebrity / Character Elements

When endorsers or mascots are present, do they reinforce or compete with the brand message?

07
Overall Effectiveness

A weighted composite score predicting how the ad will perform against its stated objective.

08
Brand Recognition

How quickly and confidently can a viewer identify the advertiser without seeing the logo?

09
Cognitive Neuro Balance

Right-brain emotional cues versus left-brain rational cues — calibrated to the category and objective.

10
Platform Delivery & Visibility

Is the format optimised for the channel? Aspect ratio, sound-off legibility, captioning, pacing.

11
Goal Alignment & Strategic Intent

Awareness, consideration, conversion — is the creative actually built for the funnel stage you booked it for?

12
Predictive CTR & Competitor Score

Estimated click-through performance and a head-to-head comparison against category benchmarks.

13
Compliance & Brand Safety

Regulatory red-flags, platform policy risk, and brand-safety issues — caught before launch, not after.

Frequently asked

The questions everyone eventually asks.

How is this different from pasting an ad into ChatGPT or Claude?
Generalist LLMs are powerful but inconsistent. Two prompts, the same ad, can produce wildly different scores. AdTest.AI runs each creative through a fixed orchestration of expert-engineered prompts — one per dimension — with calibrated rubrics, validation passes, and category benchmarks. The result is a comparable, defensible, scoring you can use to make decisions, not a one-off opinion.
Do you compete with Dragonfly, DAIVID, Kantar LINK, or System1?
We respect every team in the space. Most pure AI testing tools deliver some scoring, but rarely with this dimension model and rarely with first-party audience validation built in. Traditional research vendors deliver excellent audience reads — but slowly, and at a six-figure annual commitment. AdTest.AI sits between them: AI-fast, audience-true, and priced for teams that test creative weekly, not quarterly.
What is the "Mixed Score"?
The Mixed Score is the headline metric when you combine AI scoring with first-party audience research on the same creative. It reconciles what algorithms predict against what humans actually report — flagging where the AI rated higher than the audience (overconfidence), where the audience rated higher (hidden gems), or where both agree. It's the closest thing to a pre-flight effectiveness verdict you'll find.
Which AI models do you use?
We orchestrate best-in-class models from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, AWS and TwelveLabs — plus our own behavioural-science scoring engine — routing each dimension to whichever wins our internal calibration. Multi-provider failover and deterministic re-scoring mean the same ad always gets the same answer. We swap in better models continuously, so your reports get more accurate over time without you changing anything.
Can I test ads in languages other than English?
Yes. We support multilingual creative AI analysis and audience testing the UK and US with more coming soon. Audience studies can be configured for specific countries, languages, age cuts and demographic quotas.
Is my creative kept private?
Always. Uploaded creative is processed within isolated, project-scoped storage. We never use your assets to train models, and we never share creative across customers or workspaces.
