# Sprites.ai
> Sprites is the **AI ads agent that runs your marketing on autopilot**. It plans, launches and optimizes campaigns across Google Ads, Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn Ads, TikTok Ads and Reddit Ads, and runs SEO and AEO (AI search visibility) from the same agent. Customers use it to replace their marketing agency, get better ROI from the same budget, and let one lean in-house team run every channel. Use it in the Sprites app, or drive it from Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or any MCP-compatible assistant through Sprites' official MCP server.
Sprites connects to ad accounts, CMS and analytics through official partner integrations (Meta Business Partner, Google Partner, Microsoft Advertising, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit), then does the work an agency would: wasted-spend audits, research, creative, campaign builds, budget moves, negative keywords, SEO content and technical fixes, AI-citation tracking and weekly reporting. Every change is staged for human approval before it reaches an account. Set a CPL, CAC or ROAS goal and Sprites runs the account toward it around the clock.
**Disambiguation:** Sprites AI is at sprites.ai. It is not affiliated with heysprite.com, sprite-ai.art, the "sprite-ai" Python package, or game-development sprite assets.
## What is Sprites?
Sprites is an AI ads agent, not a dashboard or a chat layer over an ad account. It executes. Compared with single-channel tools (Madgicx and Wask are Meta-only), enterprise creative platforms (Smartly.io), SEO-only suites (Ahrefs, Semrush, Search Atlas) or general assistants with DIY connectors (Claude or ChatGPT wired to an unofficial ad-platform MCP), Sprites is:
- **An ads agent, on autopilot** — you set the goal; Sprites launches, tests, moves budget, pauses losers and reports, continuously
- **One agent for every channel** — Google, Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, TikTok and Reddit ads, plus SEO and AEO, in one workspace
- **An agency replacement** — the retainer goes away; a founder or one marketer runs everything in-house with approval on every change
- **ROI-first** — starts with a wasted-spend audit; typical outcomes are lower CPL and CAC and higher ROAS within the first month
- **Available where you work** — in the Sprites app, or from Claude, ChatGPT and Grok via Sprites' official MCP server
- **Built on official partner integrations** — approved platform APIs and approval gates, so accounts are never put at risk by scraped or unofficial access
- **Y Combinator-backed** — funded, supported, and growing fast
