[01] WHAT IT IS

AD RESEARCH AND CREATIVE-WORKFLOW TOOL FOR TEAMS.

Foreplay is a research and collaboration platform: it aggregates ad libraries across Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn so creative teams can save, tag, and analyze competitor ads, then collaborate on briefs. Its AI features (transcription, tone tagging, brief drafting) are assistive — a human team still writes, produces, and launches every ad.

[03] BEING FAIR

WHEN FOREPLAY IS THE RIGHT CALL.

If you have an actual creative team that wants a sharper way to research competitor ads and collaborate on briefs, Foreplay is a genuinely useful tool for that specific workflow. It was never meant to replace the team — it's built to make one more effective.

[04] FAQ

QUESTIONS.

Is EXOD better than Foreplay?[+]

They solve completely different problems. Foreplay helps a human creative team research and collaborate; it doesn't write copy, generate creative, or launch campaigns. EXOD does all three on its own. If you have a team that wants better research tools, Foreplay. If you don't have a team and want the ads handled entirely, EXOD.

Does Foreplay write or launch ads?[+]

No. Foreplay is a research and brief-collaboration tool for human teams — it doesn't generate finished creative or manage live campaigns. EXOD does both automatically.
