Pencil
Generative creative copilot. Turn a brand brief into ad concepts and ship to Meta.
You're an enterprise creative team that needs brand-controlled, governance-heavy generation across many markets and SKUs.
Pencil is a creative copilot. Generate ads from a brand brief, iterate visually, and ship to Meta. Strong on the production side, lighter on cross-platform analytics or competitor-aware briefs. Omniscia covers the analysis half: score creatives before they ship, read post-launch performance across Meta, Google, and TikTok, and surface where Cortex has more confidence than guesswork.
Folded into Brandtech Group. Generation-first roadmap, analysis layer light.

Reads on creative quality before any budget is spent.
| Capability | Omniscia | Pencil |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-launch creative scoring (6-cat + clustering)Visual diversity, hook variety, angle coverage, format mix, audio diversity, text and CTA. Scored before any spend. | ✓ | — |
| Cross-platform creative fingerprinting (same creative across Meta, Google, TikTok)Auto-link the same creative running on Meta, Google, and TikTok via perceptual hash + audio fingerprint + CLIP embedding. | ✓ | — |
| Audio MFCC fingerprint clusteringSonic similarity across an ad set surfaces sound-driven clustering Meta delivery is sensitive to. | ✓ | — |
| CLIP visual similarity matrix512-dim ViT-B-32 embeddings per keyframe (24 keyframes per video); cosine similarity matrix flags overlap before delivery throttles it. | ✓ | — |
| Hook-section fingerprinting (first 3 seconds)Hook frames pinned and analysed as one block. The first 3 seconds drive Meta Andromeda audience matching, so hook-section fingerprints flag repetition the algorithm punishes. | ✓ | — |
| Network percentile benchmarks (your score vs network and vertical)Percentile rank (0 to 100) against the network and your vertical, surfaced inline on every score so a number is never read in isolation. | ✓ | — |
| Sample-size + confidence inline on every readEvery forward-looking number names the N and confidence band that produced it. No hand-waved ROAS lifts. | ✓ | — |
| Landing page alignment (5-dimension scoring)Scores ad message vs landing page across headline match, CTA verb alignment, offer alignment, urgency alignment, tone match, and trust signal coverage. Surfaces missed-opportunity callouts when LP signals are absent from ad copy. | ✓ | — |

| Per-creative performance read (spend, impressions, longevity)Asset Impact panel surfaces per-creative spend, impressions, and longevity inside each campaign on Meta and Google — which variant kept earning impressions, which one stalled. TikTok per-creative breakdown is not yet wired in by sync. | ◐Meta + Google | — |
