Tell the agent what you want to run and it builds the draft in the campaign builder while you watch. Nothing goes live until you approve the launch.

Before you start

• Switch to the ad account you want to launch in.
• Make sure the mode next to the send button is Agent. In Plan mode the agent won't build anything.
• If you want specific creatives in the ads, have them in your creative library so you can attach them.

Build the draft

1. Start the agent flow in any of these ways:

   • In Ads Manager, open the + New Campaign menu and pick Build with Koast Agent.
   • In the new campaign chooser, under Launch with AI, select Start with Koast Agent.
   • Press ⌘K and pick Create campaign with Koast Agent.

   Koast creates an empty draft, opens it in the builder and opens the agent panel next to it. From the command palette in All Accounts, you pick the ad account first.

2. Describe the campaign: the product or destination, the goal, the budget and the audience, as far as you know them. For example: "A purchase campaign for Vela Daily Greens, $200 a day, US women 25 to 54."

3. Answer the agent's questions. If you didn't say what the campaign is for, it asks first whether it's prospecting, retargeting or scaling.

4. Watch the draft fill in. The agent adds the campaign, ad sets and ads, uses your account's naming convention and writes copy if you ask.

5. Change anything you like, in the builder yourself or by asking the agent.

Launch it

1. Ask the agent to launch, for example "launch this".

2. The agent checks the draft first (Checking the launch). If anything would block the launch, it lists each issue and fixes what you ask it to.

3. Read the Approval needed card. It names the campaign and shows how many ad sets and ads go out, with their budgets. Nothing is published yet.

4. Select Approve to publish, or Cancel to drop it. You don't type a yes: the card is the only way to confirm.

5. Follow the progress card in the chat. It moves from Launching campaign through Creating ad sets… and Creating ads…, and ends on Campaign live on Meta, or Launch failed with the reason.

Good to know

• One campaign per draft. If the draft already has a campaign and you ask for another, the agent offers a new ad set in the same campaign, or a separate draft.
• Only drafts publish. If you add an ad set to a campaign that's already live, launching publishes just that ad set.
• Problems are listed, not retried. If the check finds issues, the agent lists each one as Koast reports it and doesn't offer to launch until the check passes.
• Want a copy of a live campaign? Ask the agent to clone it. Each copy lands in its own new draft, ready to change and launch.
