REALLOCATION

Optimized fund distribution

The AI reassigns your fixed budget across channels. It prioritizes the highest velocity paths to keep your capital moving.

SIMULATION

What-if scenarios

You can test how shifting funds from one channel to another changes your overall payback period before you actually move the money.

HUMAN

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI actually move money in my Meta Ads account?

    No. The AI only calculates the optimal budget and provides the plan. You must manually update your budgets in your ad platforms.

  • 02

    Does the AI need access to my bank account?

    No. The AI only needs access to the marketing performance data you provide through the connection.

  • 03

    What happens if my channel data is incomplete?

    The AI will calculate payback periods based only on the data it can see. If a channel is missing data, it won't be included in the optimization.

  • 04

    Can I set a limit on how much the budget can shift?

    Yes. You can tell your AI to only suggest shifts within a certain percentage of your current spend.

  • 05

    Will the AI delete my existing budget settings?

    No. The AI has no capability to delete or modify your settings in external tools. It only reads data and generates suggestions.
