Question 1

Is OpenAdKit really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — $0/month, forever. MIT-licensed. The only cost is your own AI provider API key, and that can be a free tier (Groq, Gemini, Cerebras, OpenRouter) or paid (Claude, GPT, Mistral, DeepSeek). OpenAdKit itself bills you nothing.

Question 2

Do I need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Deploy to Vercel or Cloudflare in 30 seconds with a one-click button — you get your own URL, no install required, works on any device including mobile. Or install locally for offline use via the bundled .bat / .command launcher (Node.js 20+ required for local install).

Question 3

Where does my data live?

Accepted Answer

100% in your own browser (IndexedDB) and, when running locally, in a data/snapshot.json file inside the OpenAdKit folder. No accounts, no cloud sync, no telemetry. Your AI API keys never leave the browser — every LLM call goes from your browser directly to the provider.

Question 4

Which AI providers does OpenAdKit support?

Accepted Answer

9 providers: Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, Groq, Cerebras, OpenRouter, Together AI, DeepSeek, and Mistral. Free tiers are available on Groq, Gemini, Cerebras, and OpenRouter — you can run the entire tool at $0 cost using only free-tier LLM keys.

Question 5

How is OpenAdKit different from Jasper, AdCreative, or Anyword?

Accepted Answer

OpenAdKit replaces a $49–$499/month stack with one MIT-licensed app that runs entirely in your browser. Bring your own AI key (free or paid), get every paid-tool feature — 18 ad generators, 11 optimizers, multi-client brand brains, batch mode, competitor research — for $0/month. No accounts, no per-seat upcharges, no vendor lock-in.

Question 6

Does OpenAdKit generate AI images or videos?

Accepted Answer

Not in-app. OpenAdKit generates the creative briefs and prompts (ready to paste into Midjourney, DALL-E, Runway, Pika, or other AI image/video tools) plus a directory of recommended free + paid AI tools per use case. The text generators cover ad copy, hooks, hashtags, scripts, captions, email subjects, and landing-page copy across every major platform.

Question 7

Can agencies use OpenAdKit for multiple clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the multi-client Brand Brain system stores a separate brand profile per client (auto-extracted from each client's website URL), and Batch Mode generates the same asset across multiple clients in one parallel run. Markdown/PDF campaign export is built in for client handoff. No per-seat or per-client fees.
