Show IH: AI Ad Generator – Reverse-engineering winning ads into a logical process

Hi IH,
Like many of you, I’ve found that the biggest friction in launching a new SaaS isn't the engineering—it's the distribution. We often treat ad creative as a black box and rely on guesswork, or worse, we ask an LLM to "be creative" and get back generic, unusable fluff.

I built AI Ad Generator to turn creative research into a repeatable, logical engineering process.

The Core Logic:
Instead of just prompting an LLM, the system follows a 3-step pipeline:

  1. Context Scraping: It automatically extracts USPs and core value props directly from a landing page URL—no more manual copy-pasting.
  2. Benchmark Deconstruction: It analyzes high-performing ad frameworks that are already proven to scale in the wild (the "DNA" of winning ads).
  3. DNA Reconstruction: It maps your product's specific variables into these proven structures to generate platform-specific hooks and copy that actually follow marketing logic.

The goal is to provide indie hackers and small teams with the same strategic depth usually reserved for high-end creative agencies, without the $10k price tag.

I’m currently focusing on refining the Reverse-Engineering engine and would love your feedback on the output quality or the logic behind the deconstruction.

    This is a strong direction because the real value is not “generating ads.” It is turning creative research into a repeatable decision process.

    That is also where I think the current name may cap the product.

    AI Ad Generator is clear, but it makes the product sound like another generic prompt tool in a very crowded category. What you’re describing is closer to creative intelligence, benchmark deconstruction, and structured ad logic.

    If the reverse-engineering engine becomes the core asset, a cleaner brand like Beryxa.com would probably age better than a descriptive AI tool name. It gives the product more room to become a serious creative strategy platform, not just an ad copy generator.
