How is this different from an ad spy tool?

Ad spy tools show you screenshots of which ads Open Farm is running. This report shows you the formula behind those ads — the beat-by-beat structural blueprint that made each one work. Hook type, psychological mechanism, scaling curve, visual DNA. You can't paste a screenshot into a creative brief. You can paste a formula.

Where does Heista source Open Farm's ads from?

Heista sources live-running video ads from Meta Ad Library and TikTok Creative Center — the same public ad libraries that competitive teams monitor. Each ad is then reverse-engineered into its structural formula. No scraping, no private data. The "Last updated" date on this page reflects the most recent refresh of the structural intelligence.
