Make & manage audiences for AdGPT
Stop manually spending time going through reviews & Reddit threads to understand your audiences.
Icon uses AI agents to research your audiences and build a knowledge graph of each one respectively (habits, relationships, interests, & more).
You can easily finetune your audience graphs to make them even better.
Your audience graphs are automatically incorporated as you're writing ads in AdGPT (this is part of how we help you make more winning ads vs. ChatGPT).

How it works (AI-assisted approach)
How it works
(AI-assisted approach)
1. Turn your assets into legosIcon looks at your asset library & tags video scenes + images (e.g. "unboxing"). Tagged assets are lego blocks for making ads.
2. Create ads with AdGPTUse AdGPT Workflows to create static + video ads that are 0-99% complete. Video ads have matching clips for every scene.
3. Edit with AdCut & CanvasUse AdCut (AI Video Editor) & Canvas (AI Image Editor) to edit your 0-99% complete AdGPT ads if needed.
AdGPT Workflows
Create static + video ads that are 0-99% complete.
Completion percentage depends on your control level (high, medium, low). Higher control takes more time, but you might like it more often.

Hi, I'm Kennan!
Thank you for reading this. My life has been a journey full of ups & downs & I’m grateful to be here.
I grew up finding school extremely boring & slept through most of my classes. If I'm being real, no one thought I'd go anywhere (was Top 200 North America out of 100M+ players in League of Legends though).
Everything changed when I was 18: I had a big wakeup call & had to start supporting myself. Instead of getting a college experience like my friends, I had to live with my parents to save money.
This triggered me in a good way & I worked 100-hour weeks until I destroyed coding interviews. Soon after, I dropped out of college to join Pinterest (youngest employee).
After being a minion at Pinterest, I quit cold turkey & started my 1st company, Skio. I fluked into Y Combinator as a solo founder & completely failed during the batch. Thankfully, pivoting worked well ($15M+ ARR & profitable, $8M seed, 50+ teammates).
But it's not over yet: I've started Icon because I have a massive chip on my shoulder.
I know I’m not supposed to say this publicly, but I want to make Icon the greatest company of all time.
I want to deliver insane value to our customers.
I want to create generational wealth for my team & investors.
I want to break the $0 to $100M ARR world record.
I want to make the $12M I spent on the icon.com domain worth it.

I want to break the $0 to $100M ARR world record.
I want to make the $12M I spent on the icon.com domain worth it.
I want to win so bad that I'm sacrificing my life working 7 days a week for it. I'll even eat dog poop if it means winning.
We're 2 months in & have lots to live up to. Feel free to give feedback anytime at [email protected].
