ADVICE

Refine Prompts Before You Burn Replit Credits

  • Refine the ad prompt in Claude before generating assets in Replit to save time, credits, and rework.
  • Kipp uses Claude Opus 4.6 to research HubSpot's customer agent, write a massive platform-specific prompt, then edits it before spending Replit credits.
ADVICE

Edit The Brief Section By Section

  • Review each AI-generated ad angle and rewrite the weak parts with your own creative taste before sending the brief into Replit.
  • Kipp changes a LinkedIn concept from polished corporate creative to a homemade anti-LinkedIn scroll stopper and has Claude update only that section.
INSIGHT

Product Understanding Drives Better AI Ads

  • AI ad generation only works well when the model understands the product deeply, not just the channel format.
  • Kipp says Claude researched HubSpot's customer agent first so Replit knew the benefits, positioning, and value proposition across LinkedIn, Instagram, and Google.
