A Slack bot for ad reporting either answers questions when you tag it, or posts a report on a schedule. Runneth, Ryze and Polar Operator do both. Markifact and Marxx answer questions, and a Google Ads script or Zapier can post a fixed report for little or no extra cost.

## AI bots you can ask

**Runneth** is built by the team behind Motion. Tag @Runneth in any channel it has joined and it replies in the thread. It can post scheduled updates on its own. Starter is "Starting at $999/mo" for brands spending up to $50,000 a month. The Pro tier adds daily and weekly report routines. See [Runneth pricing](/prices/runneth-pricing).

**Ryze** takes questions, runs audits and posts scheduled reports in Slack. Recommendations come with Approve and Dismiss buttons. Ryze says "Hit Approve in Slack, and the change goes live", so decide who may press it. Its Slack page asks you to "Get early access".

**Polar Operator** is Polar Analytics' Slack agent. It runs standing audits and reports, and it holds any outside change for a person to confirm. Polar is built for Shopify brands.

**Markifact** offers a Meta Ads AI Slack Agent template. Its agent also works in WhatsApp. It says "Nothing goes live without you".

We make Marxx. Tag @Marxx in a client's channel and it answers in the thread from that client's Meta and Google Ads results. It never changes ads from Slack. See [how to ask AI about your ad account in Slack](/guides/how-to-ask-ai-about-your-ad-account-in-slack).

## Bots that post a fixed report

**Google Ads scripts** run inside your Google Ads account. A script can total yesterday's spend and conversions and send them to a Slack incoming webhook, a link that lets an app post into one channel. Slack's docs say a webhook message cannot be deleted once posted, and apps should post no more than one message a second per channel.

**Zapier** posts to Slack with its "Send Channel Message" action. Start the Zap on a timer and it can post the same summary from a sheet every Monday.

These cost little, but they only post what you built. Nobody can ask a follow-up question.

## A worked example

Say your team asks 25 questions a week and the bot shows about 12 credits under each answer. That is 300 credits a week, or about 1,300 a month. Check how many credits your plan includes before you invite the whole team. A fixed Monday report from a script uses no credits but answers only one question.

## How to choose

1. **Questions or a fixed report?** If the same five numbers answer most weeks, a script is enough. See [how to build a weekly ad report](/guides/how-to-build-a-weekly-ad-report).
2. **Which platforms?** Runneth says Google and Apple Search Ads are not its core use. Ryze and Markifact cover more platforms.
3. **Can it change ads?** Read each bot's approval rules before you connect a live account.
4. **One client per channel?** Agencies should check the bot keeps clients apart.

## FAQ

### Can a Slack bot send a weekly ad report?

Yes. Runneth, Ryze and Polar Operator can post scheduled reports. A Google Ads script or a Zapier flow can post a fixed summary too.

### Can I ask a Slack bot about my Meta ads?

Yes. Runneth, Ryze, Polar Operator and Markifact all read Meta ads once you connect the account.

### Will a reporting bot change my ads?

Some can. Ryze applies a change when you press Approve. Runneth is read-only until an owner or admin turns on ad launching, and Polar Operator holds outside changes for a person to confirm.
