Run an AI Tool

Learn how to open an AI Tool, fill in required inputs, run it, and review execution steps and results.

AI Tools are focused workflows for specific marketing jobs, such as research, extraction, content generation, image work, video, audio, and other campaign tasks. Use an AI Tool when you already know the exact job you want to run and would rather fill out a structured form than ask Joule to plan the work from a broader prompt.

This article shows how to run an AI Tool from its authenticated tool page. It does not cover choosing a tool from the catalog or interpreting every possible output format.

Before you start

Make sure you have:

  • A signed-in Ampere account.
  • The input the tool asks for, such as a URL, prompt, file, public profile, company page, or account/page identifier.
  • Permission to use any source material you provide.

Public-data tools can return partial, unavailable, noisy, or incomplete data depending on the source. Review the result before you use it in customer-facing work.

Open the tool page

From Tools Catalog, choose a relevant tool and select Use This. The tool page opens on the Playground tab.

The top of the page shows the tool name, short description, category, and any "best for" tags. Use these details to confirm that the tool matches the job you want to run before you fill out the form.

Fill in required inputs

In the Input panel, fill in every field marked as required. The labels and helper text tell you what the tool expects.

Some tools also have Advanced Settings. Open that section when you need to adjust optional behavior, but leave it alone if the default settings already fit the job.

The Playground tab is where you review required inputs, optional settings, and the Run Tool action before starting an AI Tool.

Run the tool

When the form looks right, select Run Tool.

If you need to start over before running, use Reset. If a tool supports scheduled runs, you may also see Schedule; use that when you want the same kind of run to happen later or recur.

After you start a run, keep the page open while Ampere works. Some tools finish quickly. Others take longer because they are gathering public data, generating media, or waiting on a provider-backed workflow.

Watch progress and results

Use Execution Steps to follow the run while it is in progress. This area shows the workflow steps and their status.

Use Results when the run has output to review. Depending on the tool, results may include structured data, text, files, media, previews, or downloads.

Check the output before using it

Review the output for accuracy, completeness, and fit before you use it in a campaign, document, ad, or public post.

For public web, social, ads, reviews, and company-data tools, treat the output as source-dependent. A run may be useful even when some fields are missing or a source returns partial data.

If the result is not what you expected, adjust the input and run the tool again. For broader marketing work where you are not sure which tool to use, start a Joule session and describe the outcome you want.
