Template Generation vs Formula Decode

Symphony's starting point

A product URL and a generic template. Symphony extracts product information and fills in a pre-built template. No decoded formula. No buyer tensions. No brand voice. Every advertiser using the same template gets structurally identical surface-level scripts — only the product details differ.

Heista's starting point

A winning TikTok ad. Heista's Ad Decoder extracts the proven formula — hook archetype, beat progression, tension framing, psychological mechanism. Your brand intelligence loaded in — buyer tensions, selling points, brand voice. The Creative Director generates scripts at volume from the decoded formula. Test with AI talking heads. Find the winner. Then brief real creators with the proven script.
