Validation

Smarter checks. Fewer delays. Faster launches.

Automatically review ads against the latest rules, specs, safe zones, and more.

From country to country and platform to platform, advertising regulations are getting tougher, and specs are constantly changing. Reviewing everything manually takes too long — and one missed detail can lead to delays, rework, or a damaged brand reputation. Cape.io’s AI-powered tools help review your ads — scripts, storyboards, video, VAST and display ads — against the latest advertising rules and specs.
