2. Create ads with AdGPTUse AdGPT Workflows to create video + static 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

Hi, I'm Kennan!
Thank you for reading this. My life has been a journey full of ups & downs and 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.
This triggered me in a good way & I worked 100-hour weeks until I became a 100x engineer. This gave me the confidence to drop out of college after 1 year & eventually start my 1st company, Skio.
With Skio, I fluked into Y Combinator as a solo founder & completely failed during the batch. Thankfully, pivoting worked well ($25M+ ARR & profitable, $8M seed, 70+ 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 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 4 months in & have lots to live up to. Feel free to give feedback anytime at kennan@icon.com.
