Why connect YouTube Ads to Zed?

Zed's Agent panel can call MCP servers, which Zed calls context servers, while it edits your files. 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.
