AI Automation Specialist – Automated Ad-Testing Pipeline (Claude + Canva + Meta Ads)

I run a multi-stage system for testing and iterating on Meta ads, moving from early creative concepts through several rounds of testing down to validated winners. Right now I do this manually and want to automate it so I can run it across multiple business ideas. You'll build the engine connecting Claude, Canva, and Meta Ads Manager (with Zapier/Sheets as glue) into one repeatable pipeline, not a one-off script. It needs a human-approval checkpoint between rounds and needs to be reusable for any new business I plug in. I'll walk finalists through the exact stage-by-stage workflow directly. What I need: - End-to-end automation linking Claude (API), Canva (API/Canva Connect), and Meta Ads Manager (Marketing API) - A simple human-approval step built in between stages - Automated creative export from Canva into Meta, and automated performance reporting - Built to be reusable across different businesses, not hardcoded - Documentation so I can operate it without you Ideal skills: - Strong AI/automation background (most important) — multi-step AI workflows, prompt chaining, connecting LLM output to other tools - Claude Code / Claude API experience - Zapier/Make, Canva API, Google Sheets API - Bonus: Meta Ads Manager / Marketing API experience To apply: Start your application with the word "PAINPOINT" so I know you read this closely, and answer in your own words (not a copy-paste AI-generated proposal, I can tell, and it's an instant reject): 1. An automation you've built that chains an LLM with other tools/APIs 2. Your experience with Claude specifically 3. How you'd design the human-approval step 4. How many hours you’d estimate this taking (I understand you don’t have all the details, but you can give a ballpark range, even if wide)
