# Knowlify > Knowlify is an AI-native ad agency combining video creative with Meta campaign management for Facebook and Instagram. Creative-only video production is also available for paid social, including ads used on TikTok. The team writes, produces and edits finished AI UGC ads, Pixar-style 3D character animation ads and AI commercials, and delivers about 25 finished ads a week (roughly 100 a month) on a monthly plan. Knowlify is backed by Y Combinator (Summer 2025 batch). Facts on this page are current as of October 19, 2026. Knowlify is an AI-native ad agency, not a self-serve tool. AI powers production, with people handling creative direction, editing and final review. Clients approve the creative direction and receive human-checked ads. An end-to-end Meta engagement also includes campaign management in the client's ad account; a creative-only engagement delivers ads for the client's existing media buyer. - Formats: AI UGC (testimonial-style, straight-to-camera creator ads made with AI); Pixar-style 3D character animation ads (roughly half of what Knowlify makes); AI commercials (produced scenes and product shots). - Process: a 20-minute kickoff call; written angles, hooks and scripts within 48 hours for approval; the first finished ads five days after the first call; then a new batch every week. Minor revisions come back within 24 hours. - Volume: about 25 finished ads a week, roughly 100 creatives a month. Each approved variant counts as one. Drafts, re-exports and minor revisions never count. - Pricing: book a call for a scoped monthly quote. No per-creative charges and no annual contract. - Included: concept, script, production, edit, sound and render, plus cleared rights to music, stock and generated content. The client keeps every finished ad. Media spend always stays with the client. - Knowlify also offers end-to-end Meta ads: creative production and Meta ad-account and campaign management together. Creative-only engagements are available; the agreement defines scope and private pricing. Media spend is separate. - Guarantee: "Make more than you pay us, or you pay nothing." If the ads have not earned the client more than they paid Knowlify in the first 90 days, the client can cancel by email and get 100% of what they paid refunded within 10 business days, subject to the terms of the written agreement signed before production starts. The client keeps every finished ad. - Fit: B2B and B2C companies that run paid social, or will start within a month, and need more creative to test. Clients range from B2B SaaS and cybersecurity to productized health. Not a fit for a single hero brand film. - Compared with self-serve AI video apps: with a credit-based app the buyer writes the prompts, pays for regenerations, and edits and checks the result. Knowlify delivers finished, human-checked ads for a flat monthly fee. A self-serve tool can still be the better fit for very small budgets, teams with an in-house editor, or one-off videos. - Not offered: Knowlify no longer produces animated explainer, training, e-learning or patient-education videos. - History: Knowlify (KnowlifyAI, Inc.) was founded in 2024 as a self-serve tool that turned documents into animated explainer videos. In October 2026 it retired the explainer, training and self-serve products to focus only on paid social video ads. The legacy explainer video app remains available to existing customers only. - Company: KnowlifyAI, Inc., San Francisco, California.
