Per source From the tool's vendor, not independently tested.

Copy-paste prompt

Copy-paste promptStarter prompt (written by us)
Every Monday, review my auto campaigns over the last 7, 14 and 30 days. List search terms with at least [2] orders and ACOS under [target] in all three windows as candidates to move into exact-match campaigns, ASINs that convert as candidates for product-target campaigns, and terms with [20]+ clicks and no orders as negatives. Show the table and wait for my approval before changing anything.

The source didn't publish its exact prompt. We wrote this starter so you can try the same workflow. Replace anything in [brackets].

What they did

Sam Baron, co-founder of the CPG food reseller Shop the King (10,000+ SKUs, with Amazon among six sales channels and two people on the digital side), built an AI agent on the Helium 10 MCP that reads Helium 10 data and acts through Amazon's APIs. It monitors auto campaigns, moves high-performing keywords into dedicated keyword and product-target campaigns, sets up negative keywords, configures day parting, and evaluates performance over 7-, 14- and 30-day windows.

How it went

Helium 10 reports he reclaimed 4-5 hours per week, from work that used to take him one full day each week. He says: 'I don't need to be a data scientist anymore. The agent interprets the data and identifies the patterns.'

We only report what the source says. Results are self-reported unless noted.

Worth knowing

Helium 10's own case study. It doesn't name the AI model behind the agent or report any ad results, only time saved.

Give it to me in a table that shows which campaigns they're in, how many clicks, and how much spend.

I'm attaching two files for the same brand: the Sponsored Products search term report for the last 60 days and a Helium 10 Cerebro export of the brand's organic ranks.
Match them by keyword and give me three lists:
1. Keywords where we already rank organically in the top 10 but still spend heavily on ads (candidates to cut spend).
2. Keywords ranked 11-40 with good conversion in the ads data (candidates to push toward page 1).
3. Keywords with spend and no organic rank at all.
Show spend, sales, ACoS and organic rank for each row.

You are my Amazon PPC assistant with access to my Amazon Ads account. Draft, don't change anything.

2. Propose bid changes in one table (campaign, target, current bid, proposed bid, reason).
3. Propose negative keywords in a SEPARATE table (search term, campaign, clicks, spend, orders, why it should be negated, and any sign it might still convert).
4. Stop and wait. Apply only the rows I approve, and list exactly what you changed.
