Getting started

AdsPlane is an Amazon Ads control plane for sellers. Instead of a dashboard you have to babysit or a black box that changes things behind your back, it runs a single, scheduled Runbook every day and keeps you in control of what actually happens.

The daily Runbook

Every run follows the same six steps:

Pull → Analyze → Manifest → Approve → Execute → Reconcile

1. Pull — fetch your latest Sponsored Products, Brands, and Display reports for the campaigns on your allowlist.
2. Analyze — a deterministic engine classifies campaigns, scores keywords and search terms, and factors in your product economics.
3. Manifest — the recommendations become a structured, reviewable action plan.
4. Approve — you approve in the dashboard or over Telegram. Nothing executes until you do.
5. Execute — approved actions apply through the official Amazon Ads API, with a before/after snapshot for every change.
6. Reconcile — AdsPlane verifies each change landed, flags drift, and writes it to the Execution Ledger.

From sign-up to your first Manifest

1. Create an account at app.adsplane.com and pick a plan. Hosted Starter includes a 30-day free trial.
2. Connect your Amazon Ads account — see Connect your Amazon account.
3. Choose your campaigns for the allowlist (your plan sets the cap).
4. Set your Guardrail Policy — the limits the engine can never cross. See Guardrail Policy.
5. Run analysis and review your first Manifest. New accounts start in Shadow Mode, so the first runs execute nothing — they just show you what AdsPlane would propose.

A note on control

Two ideas run through everything here: deterministic logic decides, AI only narrates, and autonomy is earned, not assumed. You start with full manual control and opt into more automation over time — see the Autonomy Ladder.
