The prompt · lasting hooks

Show me Ritual's video ads that have been running for at least 30 days, longest first, and break down how each one opens in its first seconds.

Change the words in the fields and the prompt follows; the steps stay the same. Send it as it is, or ask in your own words.

What does Adspy do, step by step?

Your AI runs 2 steps with Adspy's tools. Each call is listed with its arguments and the most it can cost on the published tariff; free and included calls use no credits.

  1. Find the ads that last

    Your AI opens the brand's video ads that have run for 30 days or more, longest first.

What comes back?

Adspy's answer arrives in the chat, with the ads, posts and figures it rests on, so you can open each one.

The longest-observed video ad of 4 brands (Huel, AG1, Grüns, Ritual), each observed for 30 days or more, with the opening its AI reading classifies, from a snapshot of the shared library taken on 23 September 2026. Days observed show a brand kept an ad live, not that it worked.

Good to know before you run it

  • Running time is evidence a brand kept an ad live, not proof it worked.
  • An ad Adspy has not analysed yet shows as such; your AI says so instead of guessing its hook.
  • Ads come from Meta and Google, YouTube ads included; TikTok ads are not covered.

Questions about this playbook

Is it included in my plan?

Yes. Searching ads and reading their AI analysis are included on every plan, within fair use.

What counts as the hook?

The opening the AI analysis identifies, with its type and the window it lands in, usually the first two to five seconds.

Can I do it across several brands?

Yes. Name up to a few brands, or a topic instead of a brand, and ask for the same breakdown.
