Vibe Coding Creative Forge — paste a product URL, get a wall of ads
A tool that researches your competitors, the ads they run, and what buyers say on Reddit — then writes and renders ad creative. Built in a weekend.
🧪 A GemLabs lab. This is a GemLabs build journal — a weekend experiment in building real workflows with AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex, written up as a hands-on tutorial. If you’re a merchant or Shopify seller, the takeaway isn’t this one tool: it’s that you can describe a daily selling chore in plain language and have an agent build it for you. Steal the pattern.
Saturday, May 24, 2026. A message lands from an ecommerce coach I know. A client sells a fat burner. Here’s the product page, here’s one competitor, and a line I’ve heard from every good media buyer: “Reddit helps for headlines and angles. And Amazon reviews.”
That’s the whole job of ad creative research, really. Find who you’re up against. See the ads they’re already running. Listen to how real buyers talk. Then make something better. The problem is it takes a media buyer a full day of tabs, screenshots, and copy-paste — per product.
So I opened Claude Code and described the tool I wanted: paste one product URL, and it does that entire day of work on its own. By Sunday it was live on a public link. I called it Creative Forge.
This is what it does, how the pieces fit, and a plain-English glossary if any of the terms are new.
