Creative Intelligence Model

Decoder1.0

Turn any paid ad into a system you can run.

Decoder — the first Creative Intelligence Model from Heista

See the formula inside
every paid ad.

Decoder extracts the invisible structure behind any paid ad and turns it into a creative system you can rebuild for your brand.

The hook type. The beat sequence.
The psychology. The visual playbook.
Every structural decision inside the ad.

This ad scaled for 87 days.

Now you can see why.

Live interactive formula decode

6 beats. 23 seconds. Curiosity Spike hook.
Loss Aversion psychology.

The difference

Structure, not surface.

Every tool in 2026 works at the surface. Ad libraries save screenshots. Analytics measure performance. AI platforms describe what they see. No tool, no model, no platform extracts the structural formula underneath a paid ad. Decoder is the first that does.

Structural. Timed. Rebuildable.

That is the difference between saving an ad and owning the system behind it.

What becomes possible

Every ad you see becomes
a system you can run.

01

Steal the system, not the surface

That ad running for 90 days has a formula underneath it. Decoder shows you the formula so you can rebuild it for your brand.

02

Find what wins in your category

Decode 20 ads in your vertical. See which hooks, formats, and psychology keep showing up. Run the structures that scale.

03

Brief with the formula

Hand your team the decoded system. Beat structure, psychology map, visual playbook. The brief writes itself.

04

See what watching misses

5 structural beats. 12 cuts. 4 active persuasion mechanics. In 30 seconds. You will never catch that by watching.

05

Decode first, then generate

Before the next script, brief, or AI video. Decode what already worked. Build from the system, not from scratch.

06

Feed any generation pipeline

Decoded formula into script. Script into Arcads, Kling, or any AI video tool. Generation from structure, not a blank prompt.

The PatternMap

Every ad has a structure. Decoder finds the beat sequence, names each section, and shows you why they appear in that order.

The hook that stops the scroll

Decoder identifies the hook type, how long it holds, and how it operates. Named from a fixed taxonomy, not guessed.

Decision point

Opens an information gap the viewer needs resolved. Attention held by withholding, not shouting.

The visual playbook

Every cut classified. Framing, camera, movement, lighting, energy. The production guide you hand to a creator and say: shoot it like this.

Every ad has three coordinates.

Format. Angle. Psychology. The three dimensions that define why an ad works. Decoder extracts all three and turns them into a formula you can run with your brand, your product, your voice.

Compounding intelligence

Schema validation

Every decode is checked against a strict output schema — required fields present, every classification drawn from a fixed enum, beat timings in order. Output that does not pass does not ship.

Formula clustering

Decoder identifies which ads share the same formula. You see what patterns cluster together, which structures repeat across winners, and where the gaps are.

Vertical depth

More ads decoded in your category means better pattern detection, more accurate hook type classification, and stronger recommendations for what to build next.

Decoder

A new kind of
ad intelligence.

Ad Analytics
Decoder
Ad Creation

Ad Analytics

You know which ads are running. In your own account you know the spend, the impressions, the days active. You can see which ones did the work. But you cannot see how they were built.

Decoder

The layer in between. Decode how it is built. Extract the formula. Then generate scripts, hooks, and concepts from the decoded structure.

Ad Creation

Scripts, hooks, briefs, and ad concepts built on a decoded structure. Not from a blank prompt. From a formula a real paid ad already ran.

The Ad Decoder

Every winning ad has a formula.

See the whole engine: how a decode is built, what comes back, and what you can do with it.
