Computer Use Agents & Adspirer

Computer use agents are the next evolution of AI assistants — from tools you prompt to agents that execute. Instead of asking an AI to help you write an ad, you tell it to research your market, create a campaign, and monitor performance. The agent handles the rest. Adspirer connects to multiple computer use agents, giving them direct access to 100+ advertising tools across Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and TikTok Ads.

​

What Are Computer Use Agents?

Traditional AI assistants answer questions. Computer use agents take action. They can:

• Break complex goals into subtasks and execute them sequentially
• Call external tools (like Adspirer’s MCP server) to interact with real platforms
• Run for extended periods — minutes, hours, or on a schedule
• Chain web research, data analysis, and platform actions in a single workflow
• Operate autonomously with minimal human intervention

The key difference: you describe the outcome you want, not the steps to get there.

​

How They Work with Adspirer

Computer use agents connect to Adspirer via MCP — the same protocol used by all Adspirer-compatible AI clients. The agent discovers Adspirer’s 100+ tools and uses them as part of its autonomous workflows. The agent decides which tools to call, in what order, and how to combine results. With Adspirer connected, it has direct access to your ad accounts — no dashboards, no manual steps.

​

Supported Computer Use Agents

Adspirer works with multiple autonomous agents. Each connects via MCP and gets access to the same 100+ tools.

​

Perplexity Computer

Perplexity Computer orchestrates 19+ AI models to execute complex tasks. Its unique advantage is native web search — it can research competitors, market trends, and industry benchmarks in real-time, then immediately act on that research using Adspirer tools.

• Plan required: Perplexity Max ($200/mo) for Computer; Pro ($20/mo) for connectors only
• How it connects: Custom connector in Perplexity Computer → Connectors → OAuth
• Skills: Upload SKILL.md via Computer → Skills → + Create skill. Perplexity applies skills automatically when relevant.
• Unique capability: Combines real-time search with ad platform actions in a single workflow

Example workflow: “Research the top 5 competitors for project management SaaS, analyze their Google Ads strategy, then create a campaign targeting keywords they’re missing. Budget $50/day.” — Perplexity Computer searches the web, pulls keyword data via Adspirer, creates the campaign, and delivers a summary.

​

Manus

Manus is a general-purpose autonomous agent that can browse the web, write code, and generate interactive dashboards. It connects to Adspirer via API key authentication.

• Plan required: Manus account (any tier)
• How it connects: Custom MCP server with API key in Authorization header
• Unique capability: Interactive dashboard generation, scheduled email briefs, 24/7 monitoring

Example workflow: “Set up a daily performance brief across all my ad platforms and email it to me every morning at 9 AM.” — Manus configures monitoring, fetches data daily, and delivers formatted reports.

​

Codex

OpenAI’s Codex operates as a background agent that can run tasks autonomously, including on a schedule.

• Plan required: Codex subscription
• How it connects: One-command installer + OAuth
• Unique capability: Scheduled autonomous tasks (e.g., daily performance checks at 8 AM)

Example workflow: “Every Monday at 9 AM, pull my Google Ads performance for the past week and flag any keywords with spend > $50 and zero conversions.”

​

OpenClaw

OpenClaw is a CLI-based agent with Adspirer’s skill file pre-bundled. It runs locally on your machine with direct terminal access.

• Plan required: OpenClaw (open source)
• How it connects: Plugin install with bundled 14KB skill file
• Unique capability: Pre-configured advertising agent with safety rules built in

What Computer Use Agents Can Do with Adspirer

​

Safety with Autonomous Agents

Autonomous agents acting on your ad accounts sounds risky. Adspirer has multiple safety layers:

1. All campaigns created PAUSED — No live spend without your review
2. OAuth scoping — Agents only get the permissions you authorize
3. Read-before-write — Skills enforce research and validation before any creation
4. Confirmation gates — Spend-affecting actions require your approval
5. No auto-retry — Failed actions stop and report, never retry automatically
6. Sandboxed execution — Agents like Perplexity Computer run in secure sandboxes, isolated from your local machine

See Security & Data Privacy for the full security model.
