So today, we're going to be talking about how to use Astra and GPT-6 for improving and monitoring meta ads, right? So how to use ads with AI and also improve your systems for ads, right? So Mazzee asks inside the Aero Profile Boardroom, Agent OS for meta ads and reporting. You know, I've been watching your Agent OS build out from the 5th of September. I can't believe how awesome it will be. There's so much there, amazing. Couple of questions come to mind. Is there a way to connect your Facebook ads so that you can view client reporting and also analyze and create ads too? And also, if I have some skills in GitHub repos that have connected to Cloud, how do I connect it to the Agent OS so that it continues using it from there? Great questions. So thank you, Mazzee, for the questions. And let's just get straight into this. So we'll start. I actually want to start with question number two, because I think that's even easier. And then we'll come on to the rest of the setup here. So if you want to build any skills into an agentic operating system, you can just say to your AI agent the setup for you to start building them in, right? So for example, if I have a skill for SEO, I can ask my agent to build that into my agentic operating system. And you would just ask the agent the setup for you. That could be Claude, it could be Hermes, it could be Codex, could be all of them if you prefer. So let me show you an example here. So inside Claude, for example, we have a skill for guides. And so I can go into Claude and I can say, hey, can you add in your skill for guides into the agentic operating system so that I can use this skill whenever I need to for generating guides? Also make sure that you don't overwrite or delete anything that I've created recently inside the agent OS, because I want to make sure that we keep the changes we've just made today.
And that way you avoid overwriting it as well. So that can start building this into the agentic operating system that we have. So that is the prompt that I would use. Great questions on the guide, right? So if you have some skills and get repos, you literally just go to your agent and you say, hey, can you build this in? It's a separate tab, is that sort of thing? Now, number two, for meta ads, right? How do you connect your ads to something like Astra or to the agent OS? Fantastic question. I really like the idea of this.
So what we can do is we can go into Astra wherever we've set up the agent OS. So for example, I've got this folder here, and I can open up a new chat, and then I can say to Astra, hey, can you build out a section where I can monitor the data from my ads campaign so that inside the agent operating system, we can basically report back on our ads performance and how they're doing from Facebook and meta. Let me know what APIs you need to do this, all right? So we can build that in, and you can see that's beginning to build out here, and it will ask you for some APIs in a second, which we can probably connect, but it'll be interesting to see which ones actually recommends for that. As you can see here, it's beginning to get that information. You can also see the inside cloud. We are now beginning to add those skills inside our agentic operating system too. And then for the actual creation of ads, you could also create a new section here. So we can add a new tab. All right. So we'll add a new chat here. And we'll say, can you add a section inside the agentic operating system that allows me to generate new ads? So creatives and also the copy for the ads, so that we can easily generate new versions of our ads. It would be great if you could look at our existing ads and then use that to create new ones that are just as powerful. Because for me, the 80-20 of building out ads into our systems is like, you need the creative and you need the actual copy itself.
So you can see here that we're getting our system set up to run this, and then we're also adding inside the agentic OS a system where we can create the ads themselves. So if we go to our agentic OS now, you can see that we've got a new tab called Ads Performance. It's building out, right? It's not working right now because it's building out in the second, but that's how we'll approach it. Now, one caveat to this, and this is really important to understand, when you're building out an agentic operating system or when you're using AI for ads in general, it's all about decision making, right? The quality of your decisions makes a big difference. For us, for example, we run ads to our SEO agency and it does quite well. But the thing that I would say here that's really important to understand is the, I would never delegate my decision making to an AI because I think that's probably where AI can't replace you. So when it comes to new creatives, new ads, new angles, data analysis, you can use Astra as a guide, but I wouldn't let it fully replace you. I think you still need to have some human judgment in that process. And that's probably the highest, the most impactful thing you can actually work on right now. When I look at most of the work that I do, it's typically decision making and judgment. So just one thing to be aware of as well. So we can see now that it's beginning to build this out. Let's check in the browser, the connection, and then it's beginning to set this up as well. Now, if we go to the ads performance section here, we need to connect this, as you can see right here. We need to make sure that we have the API enabled, as you can see, but it gives you instructions right there as well. So I've built it into the Agentec Operating System for you. If you want to know how to build it yourself, you've already seen it. And then we'll add these two sections in here and configure them as well.
