Hey Product Hunt 👋
Some people fish. Some do woodcraft. Some collect stamps. My dopamine goes to building things that make my everyday life a little easier. This time it might make yours easier too, if you're a marketer.
AdHelm is a free, open-source command-line tool that gives Claude Code and Codex access to your ad accounts: Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, Reddit, and more.
You ask your agent, "How did Google Ads do last week? Anything worth fixing?" It runs the AdHelm commands, reads your report, and audits the account. Every finding shows what it read and the evidence behind it.
A few things I cared about:
• It runs on your machine. No hosted service, no telemetry, no account to sign up for.
• Your keys stay in your OS keychain. That's a bit more setup for you, but nothing sits on a server I run.
• Version 0.1.1 reads, audits, and recommends. It doesn't change anything in your accounts. The recommendations come from agent skills built on years of B2B marketing experience.
It's early. Like pre-alpha early. I've tested it on a few accounts, and I expect you'll find things to improve. That's why I'm here.
So try it on your own accounts and tell me what breaks. Which provider should I dig into next, and what do you wish an audit caught that your dashboards miss?
Install: uv tool install adhelm

Jason, showing the evidence behind each finding is a useful detail for an ad account audit. I like the starting point of reading and recommending while the person decides what to change. Congrats on the launch!
Happy launch day! Congrats on AdHelm CLI. Nice to be launching alongside you today. We're launching Benson too: https://www.producthunt.com/products/benson-2. Would appreciate a comment or some support if you've got time. Hope the day goes well!
