Major Update: AI agents can now operate across Benly

Benly's AI agents can now handle most day-to-day platform actions, from reporting analysis and Ad Spy navigation to Creative Studio workflow creation and permitted admin tasks.

Creative Studio Copilot turns plain-language requests into workflow structures.

Summary

Benly now includes AI agents that can operate across Reporting, Creative Studio, Ad Spy, Brand X-Ray, and the global Copilot experience. These agents are designed to handle roughly 90% of the actions a user can perform manually, including navigating pages, applying filters, building views, creating Creative Studio workflows, generating share links, saving views, explaining analysis context, and assisting with permitted workspace or data-source administration.

AI agents now operate across Reporting, Creative Studio, Ad Spy, Brand X-Ray, and the global Copilot page.

The agents can navigate, filter, build views, create workflows, save or share views, and trigger permitted operational actions.

Brand X-Ray now includes date ranges, exports, creative pattern analysis, dimension cuts, and funnel/style distribution views.

Ad Spy search now shows follower and country signals directly in Meta search results.

AI agents across the product

This release moves Benly from analysis assistance to operational assistance. The agents do not only explain what is on screen. They can understand intent, apply the relevant product context, navigate the platform, build the right view, and execute actions when the user has the required permissions.

Creative Studio

A Creative Studio agent that builds workflows from prompts

Creative Studio now includes an agent that can translate plain-language prompts into working creative workflows. Instead of learning the workflow builder first, users can describe what they want and receive the structure they need.

  • Creates workflow steps automatically from user intent.
  • Helps new users start without understanding every Studio building block.
  • Turns creative production requests into repeatable workflow structures.
Creative Studio Copilot reduces workflow setup from manual node building to a prompt-led workflow.

Brand X-Ray upgrades

Brand X-Ray now gives teams more control over reporting periods and a deeper view of the creative patterns behind a brand's market presence. The update adds export options and new visual layers that make it easier to turn competitive analysis into decisions.

Creative patterns

Interactive creative pattern analysis

A new Creative Pattern area shows how brand and creative signals move through the funnel. The featured funnel view makes the relationship between themes, formats, angles, and funnel stages visible at a glance, while the surrounding controls keep the analysis tied to the selected reporting range.

  • Explore creative patterns with an interactive funnel.
  • See how creative signatures connect to funnel stages.
  • Use the selected date range as supporting context for the same pattern read.
The Creative Pattern funnel maps how recurring creative signals connect across the brand's funnel.
Date range and export controls remain available as supporting context for the analysis.
Funnel and style distribution add a global read on creative composition.

Dimension cuts

Dimension cuts help teams isolate which creative traits are shaping the pattern

Dimension cuts turn the funnel into a more actionable diagnostic view. Teams can break the pattern down by creative attributes, compare which dimensions appear most often, and identify the traits that deserve a deeper creative review.

  • Separate the funnel analysis by creative dimension.
  • Identify which traits explain the strongest pattern shifts.
  • Use the cut to decide what should be replicated, challenged, or tested next.
Dimension cuts reveal which creative traits are shaping the pattern.

A rebuilt Ad Spy agent that can search, navigate, fetch, save, and share

Ad Spy now has a conversation-first agent that can turn a request into a filtered view, fetch missing brands, use keyword search directly, and preserve the result as a saved or shared view.

Ad Spy agent

Search, navigation, fetch, save, and share from chat

The Ad Spy agent has been redesigned around natural conversation. Users can ask for a brand, format, quality threshold, creative style, or keyword, and the agent can route them to the right filtered view. When the brand is not available yet, it can propose fetching it directly.

  • Understands requests such as excellent Peugeot video ads and opens the filtered view.
  • Offers to fetch unavailable brands instead of leaving users at a dead end.
  • Uses the search engine for UGC, brand, and keyword exploration such as lipstick or glass.
  • Can create share links and save the current view for future use.
The Ad Spy agent can navigate to filtered views from a natural-language request.
When the requested brand is missing, the agent can offer to fetch it.
The agent can use keyword search directly for creative concepts and product terms.
Saved views and share links can now be created from the agent flow.

Reporting agent

Reporting Copilot now understands the report context a team is already looking at and turns analysis into clear creative or media-buying next steps.

Reporting

A reporting agent that works from the exact page context

Reporting Copilot can now interpret the report, account, time range, and visible breakdowns the user is already working with. It can cross-check performance, explain what changed, validate a point of view, and translate analysis into creative or media-buying next steps.

  • Answers questions using the current report context by default.
  • Can expand the scope when the user asks for a broader comparison.
  • Connects metrics, creative signals, and next-step recommendations in one workflow.
Reporting Copilot can explain what is happening in the current report and recommend the next creative actions.

Global Copilot and admin actions

The global Copilot page now helps teams understand workflows, answer usage and billing questions, and start permission-aware workspace operations.

Global Copilot

Operational help, workspace actions, and usage answers from Copilot

The global Copilot page can now help users understand Benly workflows, answer AI usage and billing questions, and handle permitted workspace operations. Admin-like actions remain permission-aware, so the agent only helps when the user has the right access.

  • Adds help cards that explain common Benly workflows.
  • Supports permitted actions such as inviting users, creating workspaces, or connecting data sources.
  • Answers usage, AI cost, and billing questions from the Copilot experience.
Help cards make Benly workflows easier to understand from the Copilot page.
Permission-aware admin tasks can be started directly from Copilot.
Users can ask Copilot about usage, AI cost, and billing context.

Ad Spy search improvements

Ad Spy search now provides more context before users open a result. Meta search results include follower and country signals, helping teams choose the right brand or market faster.

Search

Follower and country signals in Meta search

Search results now display additional brand context directly in the result list. This helps users distinguish similar brands, prioritize relevant markets, and understand brand scale before launching a deeper Ad Spy exploration.

  • See follower counts directly in search results.
  • Identify country availability before opening a result.
  • Use the extra context to choose cleaner starting points for analysis.
Meta search results now show follower and country context before opening a brand.
