Automation and integrations decision
Adscriptly
A focused, single‑account variant (tracking + basic agents + creative gen) is realistic for a capable technical user to build and run, but the full paid product’s breadth of integrations, premium render pipelines, account‑scale data, and polished UX make a complete replacement impractical.

No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Collect first‑party events, stitch identities, run scheduled optimization agents that adjust bids/budgets and push creatives to ad platforms, generate image/video ads via model APIs, and report results to Slack/dashboard.
What it still won’t have
- Turnkey multi‑account credit/billing model and metered credit economy
- Prebuilt deep integrations and tested connectors for many CRMs/ad platforms
- Frontier multi‑model creative rendering and per‑clip premium rendering included in plans
- Polished UI, approval workflows, and ad library with competitor tracking
- Historical account memory and system‑wide learned policies trained from many customers
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance

Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal self-hosted Adscriptly replacement using Next.js (React) frontend, Node.js backend, Postgres for events and identity graph, Redis for queues, and Python worker processes for agent logic. Core features in scope: (1) a server-side tracking pixel + hosted script that writes events to Postgres; (2) identity stitching service that resolves events to people and links to CRM ids; (3) a scheduler + Python workers that run simple agents to (a) compute negative keywords, (b) propose bid/budget adjustments, and (c) upload qualified offline conversions to Google Ads via the Google Ads API; (4) creative generation integration that calls an external image/video model API (e.g., OpenAI/Anthropic or other) to produce creatives and store assets; (5) a basic dashboard to view signals, agent proposals, and send reports to Slack via incoming webhook; (6) tests (unit for matching logic, integration tests for ingestion and API calls), error handling, retries, and logging. Out of scope: multi-account credit accounting, premium 4K render pipelines, prebuilt connectors for every CRM/ad platform, and a polished ad library UI. Provide CI, containerized deploy (Docker Compose or Kubernetes manifests), and docs for obtaining required API keys and configuring OAuth for Google/Meta.

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
