Creatify Launches AI Creative Agent for Converting Ads

Creatify announced Creatify Agent, an AI creative agent built specifically to produce high‑converting ads. The agent is trained on performance signals from 15+ million ads and over $1 billion in analyzed ad spend, and leverages data from Creatify’s platform of 3M+ marketers and 10K+ teams. It orchestrates end-to-end ad production through a single conversation, enforces brand constraints and proprietary vision checks to prevent hallucinations, and outputs platform-ready variants (Meta, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, AppLovin) and multi‑language creatives. Creatify positions the agent as faster and far cheaper than traditional production — claiming $5–$8 per ad versus $500+ — and notes company credentials including $24M in funding, SOC 2 Type II certification, and a 4.8 G2 rating.
