Building Claude into Ads & Pixels—and a wider AI product portfolio

Houston IT Developers builds and operates AI software for businesses. Our direct Claude integration in Ads & Pixels shows how we turn model capabilities into controlled product workflows. AI Phone 360 gives us an existing base of business customers, and Amelia's Agent creates another path for Claude-powered development.

The company behind the work

Products, customers, and a path to wider Claude adoption

Our work spans a live business platform, an implemented Claude integration, and an AI builder with a concrete opportunity for direct Claude routing.

Amelia’s Agent

An AI app builder that plans, writes, and hosts real software. Claude is available through its model choices; direct Anthropic routing is the next integration opportunity.

The challenge

Make AI useful where accuracy matters

Advertising teams need to interpret performance, create new messages, and explain results across multiple channels. A plausible answer is not enough when it can affect a client's budget or misstate a report. We built Ads & Pixels so Claude can assist with reasoning and writing while the application remains responsible for data validation and action controls.

The implementation

Three focused Claude workflows

Rather than adding a general chatbot, we placed Claude at specific points in the advertising workflow where it can use context and return a reviewable result.

01

Advertising decisions

Claude reads a client's performance data through bounded tools and proposes actions such as pausing an ad or adjusting a budget. A separate policy engine checks each proposal before it can become a change request.

02

Ad creative

Claude drafts headline and copy variants from a brief, brand voice, audience, and placement. The response must match a defined schema, and the prompt includes restrictions on prohibited claims and sensitive health language.

03

Client reporting

Claude can write a short plain-English report summary. The application checks every number against the report data and uses a deterministic summary when the model is unavailable or introduces an unsupported figure.

Engineering approach

Controls around every model response

The integration is designed for a real advertising workflow: reasoning belongs to Claude; validation, limits, and execution belong to the application.

Separate reasoning from execution

The model reads evidence and returns proposals. Application code handles policy checks, approvals, and any eventual platform action.

Constrain spend changes

The optimizer enforces proposal limits, including a maximum 20% budget move per step, and rejects changes that fail its data or policy checks.

Check the output

Structured ad copy is validated before use. Report narratives are checked against source numbers, with a template available as a fallback.

Connect directly

These workflows call Anthropic through the Claude API using server-side credentials. Usage and provider failures can be handled by the product itself.

What this demonstrates

A repeatable approach to Claude-powered products

Ads & Pixels has working Claude integrations across planning, creative, and reporting. The product is prelaunch, so this case study documents the implementation and its controls. We have not attributed customer revenue or performance gains to it.

Existing business reach

Through AI Phone 360, we already deploy and support AI software for multiple businesses. That experience gives us a practical route to introduce new capabilities to business users and to implement AI solutions for clients.

Next Claude opportunity: Amelia's Agent

Amelia's Agent already lets users describe an app, approve a plan, watch it build, and take ownership of the code. Claude appears among its model choices today. The next step is a direct Anthropic connection for complex planning, code generation, tool use, and review.

How direct Claude routing would work in Amelia's Agent

1

Understand the job

Classify the request, estimate the cost, and show a plan before a build starts.

2

Escalate when needed

Route complex architecture, coding, and review tasks directly to Claude while using lower-cost models for simpler work.

3

Work in a controlled environment

Give the agent scoped access to project files, tools, tests, and deployment steps inside an isolated build workspace.

4

Keep the user in control

Show the model and cost, require approval for the plan and consequential actions, and deliver the finished work in the user’s own Git repository.

Partnership opportunity

Build, distribute, and implement Claude solutions

We see three practical routes for a relationship with Anthropic: deepen the direct integration in Ads & Pixels, bring direct Claude access to complex Amelia's Agent workflows, and offer Claude-powered implementations to businesses we serve. Technical enablement and go-to-market collaboration would help us expand those routes as demand grows.
