Check it's really connected
Type this into Claude:
You: Use GooseWorks to tell me which account I’m signed in as.Claude calls
whoami and answers with something like:Claude: You’re signed in to GooseWorks as you@yourcompany.com.If Claude says it has no GooseWorks tools, it hasn’t been restarted — quit it fully and reopen. Still nothing? Run
npx gooseworks doctor, which tells you exactly which piece is missing.3
Give Goose your brand
Goose makes ads for a brand, so the first thing it needs is your website. It reads the site, works out what you sell and how you talk, and saves that as a reusable brand.Already have brands in GooseWorks? Skip this. Say “use my existing Acme brand” and Claude will find it with
You: Use GooseWorks to set up a brand for yourcompany.com.Claude calls
list_ad_brands to check what already exists, then create_ad_brand with your URL, and finally polls until the research finishes:Claude: I’ve created the brand Your Company and researched the site. Research is complete and a brand kit is ready — logo, colours, and a set of messaging angles. Want to see the angles before I make anything?
This takes 30–60 seconds. It only happens once per brand — every later request reuses it.
list_ad_brands.4
Ask for three ads
Now the actual request:
You: Make three ad creatives for that brand. Different angles — one problem-first, one product-hero, one social-proof. Show me the credit cost before you spend anything.Claude picks starting templates (
surprise_me_templates for an auto-pick, or search_ad_templates if you named a style), then prices the batch before generating:Claude: I picked three templates that fit your brand. Generating all three will cost ~120 credits (you have 13,328). Shall I go ahead?
You: Yes, go.Claude calls
submit_remix_batch and polls get_remix_batch until they finish:Claude: All three are done. Here they are:Each one is linked above and saved to your GooseWorks account.
- “Still doing this the hard way?” — problem-first, 1080×1080
- “One tool. Every channel.” — product hero, 1080×1350
- “Why teams switch” — social proof, 1080×1080
Credits are always priced before they’re spent. Goose calls
estimate_remix_batch
first and shows you the number. Ask “how many credits do I have?” any time — that’s
get_ad_credits.5
Change one and re-roll it
The point of driving this from a chat is that editing is a sentence, not a UI trip.
You: The second one’s headline is too long. Shorten it to four words and make the background darker.Claude calls
regenerate_creative on just that one and returns the new version. Repeat until you like it.What just happened
