ARKADS
ARKADS is an AI-powered advertising intelligence platform that analyzes winning ads to extract actionable insights and generate user-generated content (UGC) videos. The core component, Hook Analyzer, accepts public ad video URLs from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or direct MP4 links, and produces an evidence-linked report that separates observed facts from interpretation, with citations to specific frames and transcript segments. The analysis covers hook, pacing, proof, offer, and positioning, providing a structured creative breakdown. The Ad Clone workflow uses the insights from Hook Analyzer to derive audience, problem, promise, proof, and transformation for new creative. Users can edit these inputs before scripting and then render AI UGC clips with consistent actor references across shots. The system supports generating multiple hooks and clips, with each clip charged and refunded individually so failed takes do not affect the rest of the batch. Completed clips can be arranged and merged into a final UGC video with normalized frame rate, resolution, and loudness, and merging is free. ARKADS is accessible as a web application with a credit-based pricing model. Users can analyze videos at a cost of 50 credits, and the service offers a free trial without requiring a credit card. The platform is designed to replace manual processes of ad research, scripting, AI generation, and editing in a single connected workflow.

Problem solved
Marketing teams often spend hours manually reverse-engineering winning ads by scrubbing video, taking notes, and rebuilding insights into new creative.
