Claim
Built a GPT-5 bot that scrapes 200+ of my competitor ads weekly and emails me a report. Agencies charged $50K/year for this. I have published a V1 of this last month, and >400 people asked for it. I thought it was worth investing a few hours to make it better.
Mechanism
One marketer told me, this is so useful that he was upset he did not build it himself.
Conditions
Holds when: the operating context matches the post's stated frame (team shape, stage, tooling, buyer type).
Fails when: the practice is lifted into a different stage or buyer context without reworking the underlying mechanism.
Evidence
"The fact that you can have this running for free in 20 minutes, while last year you would have paid literally thousands to a paid ads agency, is outstanding for me."
