A 15-day election campaign, run end to end by an AI agent team.
A digital campaign for a village-head candidate: films and reels in the local dialect, daily content, geo-targeted Meta ads, a website, and an ops database that recorded every post, ad and rupee. My agents did the work. I directed it and approved every piece.

Every post, ad and rupee in one place.
The real dashboard shows the candidate, so this is a rebuilt view with the real numbers and nothing that identifies anyone.
The brief
One candidate, one village-level election, 15 days. Films and reels in Marwari, the local dialect. Daily posts and stories, Meta ads aimed at the right villages, a campaign website, and a report every day. Nothing could go out without my approval.
What the agents did
- Researched the area and the issues, then wrote scripts and captions in the dialect.
- Made images, video clips, voice and music, then edited them into reels and carousels.
- Prepared daily content packs, posted to Instagram and Facebook, and set up geo-targeted ads.
- Logged every file, post and ad in one database and wrote the daily analytics report.
What I did
I set the strategy and the rules, split the work into agent jobs, reviewed every piece before it went out, and owned the spend. The agents ran 210 sessions (including sub-agents) and made 25,402 model calls.
The rules we set
- AI-made media is labelled as AI-made.
- Messaging only to people who agreed to it.
- A hard cap on ad spend.
- No appeals to caste or religion.
What it cost
I priced every AI image, clip, voice line and model call at API list prices, failed generations included. AI media came to $123.62 at list price. The model calls were 8.49 billion tokens, mostly cache reads: about $3,857 at API list prices, though the real cash cost was a flat subscription. Meta ads were Rs 6,497 (about $68).
What I don't claim
About 62% of the views came from ads, so I don't call them organic. I don't claim any effect on votes or turnout. WhatsApp campaigns were planned but never ran.
What it means for an agency
The same setup is what I now run for agencies: a production line for creative at volume, a reviewer who checks every piece, and reporting where each number can be traced to its source.
Want this kind of volume for your clients?
