what I did
- Cut audio-ad production cost from about $500 to about $0.05 per ad.
- Built more ads in one quarter than the team made in all of the prior year.
- Eliminated more than 500 hours of manual work through automation.
- Built a five-year experiment repository with an AI agent to query it.
the story
I own first-party media ads across fifteen marketplaces. Using ElevenLabs and lightweight coding, I took audio-ad production from about $500 to $0.05 an ad and built more creative in a single quarter than the team produced in a year. Automations have removed more than 500 hours of manual work. I also built a repository of five years of experiments with an AI agent on top, so anyone can ask what has been tried and what it taught us.
Every earlier chapter converges here. The difference is leverage. I no longer only do the work, I build the systems that let many people do it faster and with better memory.
outcome
Ad production from about $500 to $0.05 each.
