Claude can't see your accounts on its own, but it's very good at turning a pile of numbers into a clear answer and an artifact your team can open. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your YouTube Ads video ads, view rate, watch time and conversions, so it can find video ads that get watched and convert with today's numbers.
Your whole YouTube Ads account
Video campaigns and ads, ready to ask about.
Always today's numbers
Quartile completion, synced from YouTube Ads automatically, so answers use today's numbers.
Connect all your tools
Questions like "YouTube or Meta video?" use YouTube Ads and Google Ads, Meta Ads at once.

Good to know
- Custom connectors work on Claude Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. Free accounts can add one.
- On Team and Enterprise, an owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web. Members then connect their own accounts.
- Remote connectors belong to your Claude account, so the same connection shows up in Claude Desktop and Cowork. Requests come from Anthropic's cloud, not your computer.
