Which AI advertising agencies actually use AI to make the creative?
Knowlify is our top pick: its AI UGC presenters, character animation and AI commercials are made with AI, and a person checks every ad before delivery. Admiral Media, Airpost, CreatStrat, Creatify Studio and Pinprick also publish AI-led production. Superside offers a full-AI mode, while NewForm is human-led with AI support.
Knowlify, Admiral Media, Airpost, CreatStrat, Creatify Studio and Pinprick publish AI-made production, where generated presenters, footage, animation or voice form the finished ad and people review it. Knowlify is our top pick because it makes all three of its formats with AI, delivers about 25 finished ads a week and has a person check every ad. In AI-assisted production, which describes NewForm and part of Superside's range, people shoot, animate or write, and AI speeds up editing, resizing or voiceover. Knowlify publishes this guide and sells one of the services compared, and we sit in the AI-made group.
The list below uses only what each agency publishes, as of October 2026. We did not test any agency's output, so treat the groupings as a starting point for your own review.

What counts as AI making the creative?
Use three questions to sort an agency. What does the AI generate in the finished ad: the presenter, the footage, the voice, the animation or only the cut? Which step does a person own? And what can the buyer see before launch?
| Agency | Where AI makes the creative | Human check (as published) | Published price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knowlify (AI UGC ads) | AI UGC presenters, character animation and AI commercials | A person checks every ad before delivery | From $5,000 a month |
| Admiral Media | AI presenters with multiple personas in talking-head videos | Human editing and quality review | €10,000 for 20 ads up to 15 seconds |
| Airpost | Dedicated AI video team with a custom model for your brand | An editor for copy and voiceover | From $6,000 a month |
| CreatStrat | AI presenters, AI video, statics and footage edits | Not stated on its page | $299 a month for 5 ads a week |
| Creatify Studio | Managed production with AI-written hooks and scripts | AI plus human QA on every asset | $100 to $200 per video, per its comparison table |
| Pinprick | AI runs production, from scripts and casting to editing and delivery | Human creative directors read every frame | Percentage of ad spend, rate not published |
| Superside | Full AI, hybrid or human-only modes | Not stated by mode, so ask which applies | Subscriptions from a $15,000 monthly minimum on an annual term |
| NewForm | Human-led, with AI tools supporting dubbing, voice and static images | Human strategists, creators, producers and editors | Custom scope and quote |
Knowlify: our top pick for AI-made video ads
Knowlify fits this question because AI makes the creative in every format we sell: AI UGC with AI presenters talking to camera, 3D and stylized character animation, and AI commercials in a live-action style. About 25 finished ads come out each week, the first batch lands on day 5, and a person checks every ad before delivery, so AI-made does not mean unreviewed. You can add end-to-end Meta campaign management or take creative-only delivery if you have your own buyer. Pricing is a custom quote, and if the ads have not made more than you paid in the first 90 days, you can cancel by email for a full refund (terms on the site). That 90-day refund applies to creative-only plans; where Knowlify runs the account, the guarantee is an agreed target in 30 days, or you don't pay for the month.
Pick another option if your ad needs a real creator's experience on camera, since our presenters are AI and not real customers or creators, or if you advertise outside Facebook and Instagram. An AI-made ad should never present an invented customer story as real.
Which agencies make AI-led video ads?
Admiral Media
Admiral Media sells AI UGC for app and ecommerce advertisers. Its AI presenters are finished with human editing and quality review. Starter costs €10,000 for 20 ads up to 15 seconds, Growth costs €16,000 for 40 ads up to 30 seconds and Pro costs €29,000 for 80 ads up to 60 seconds. Its page says ideal clients invest US$50,000 or more a month in paid media, and that AI UGC is scripted advertising, not content from a real customer.
Airpost
Airpost pairs its platform with a dedicated AI video team, starting at $6,000 a month. It trains a custom model for your brand, delivers 10 to 100 or more video ads to test in multiple styles, and uploads them to your Meta account. Contract length is not published.
CreatStrat
CreatStrat prices by ads per week: $299 a month for 5 ads a week, $499 for 10 and $899 for 20. Plans are billed monthly with cancellation at any time. Formats include AI presenters talking to camera, cut with product B-roll. The page does not describe a revision policy or say whether a person reviews each ad, so ask before you buy.
Creatify Studio
Creatify Studio assigns a creative strategist, and its team uses AI to write hooks and scripts and to produce full video ads. The page lists 25 to 100 or more videos a month with a 48-hour turnaround. It does not say whether Studio runs campaigns.
Pinprick
Pinprick scripts, casts, produces, edits and delivers UGC-style ads, with AI running production. Its inclusions are scripts, captioned editing, unlimited paid usage rights and AI-disclosure metadata for Meta and TikTok. Eligible brands pay an agreed percentage of ad spend, and that rate is not published. Its agency page also headlines ten UGC ads for $2,000, with no conditions listed, so ask what that offer covers.
Which agencies use AI alongside human teams?
NewForm says human strategists, creators, producers and editors lead the work, with AI tools supporting dubbing, voice and static images. Its full-service offer agrees concepts, variations, formats and usage rights before kickoff, and includes media buying only when the scope says so.
Superside sells subscriptions rather than ad batches, and offers full AI, hybrid and human-only modes plus avatar and voice cloning. Its subscriptions start at a $15,000 monthly minimum on an annual term, with a $1,000 monthly software fee, and its pages do not say it runs media.
Hybrid teams are not lesser options. They can suit a brand that wants human strategy and in-house production, with AI doing parts of the work. The question is which parts.
How do you check AI-made creative before it runs?
Ask the agency to mark which elements are generated: the presenter's face, the voice, the footage, the product shots and any on-screen claims. Then check each one against facts you can prove.
- Testimonials. The FTC's testimonial guidance says there is no blanket ban on AI avatars in marketing, but an avatar is prohibited when the testimonial it delivers is fake or false.
- Labels. Meta labels ads created or significantly edited with its own generative AI features. A photorealistic AI-generated person added by those tools shows the label next to Sponsored, according to its transparency post.
- Claims. A generated presenter does not prove a product claim. One named person on your side should sign off on each claim before launch.

FAQ
Which AI advertising agency is the best?
Knowlify is our top pick for AI-made video ads on Facebook and Instagram, sold from $5,000 a month with optional Meta management. The right choice depends on whether you need a real creator on camera, a published price or a hybrid studio. Run the same brief through two or three finalists before you decide.
Does Superside use AI to make ads?
Yes, in some modes. Superside offers full AI, hybrid and human-only modes, and its AI services page lists AI video production and avatar and voice cloning. Ask which mode will produce your ads, because the mode sets how much of the creative is generated.
Do AI-made Facebook ads have to say so?
Meta labels ads created or significantly edited with its own generative AI features, and a photorealistic AI-generated person added by those tools shows the label. Meta says it will detect ads made with third-party tools, but its post does not confirm that detection is live. Check the disclosure rules in each market where the ad runs.
Can an AI presenter give a customer testimonial?
Not an invented one. The FTC says avatars are not banned in marketing, but an avatar testimonial is prohibited when the testimonial it delivers is fake or false. Use AI presenters for brand statements, and keep real customer stories with real customers.
