# Ads Library

> Monitor the sponsored ads that appear in ChatGPT answers on the prompts you track, and see which advertisers run them.

Ads Library shows you when sponsored ads appear in AI answers on the prompts your workspace tracks: how often, in which categories and countries, and which advertisers are behind them. It is your competitive intelligence for paid AI search.

You find it in the sidebar under **Ads > Ads Library**.

<Note>
  KIME currently tracks sponsored ads in **ChatGPT only**. Ads Library only covers your own workspace prompts. It does not show every ad running in ChatGPT.
</Note>

## What you see

### Ads over time

A chart showing the **percentage of completed answers that contained at least one sponsored ad**, day by day. It shows how much advertising is happening around your prompts and whether it is growing.

### Top ads categories

Your prompt categories ranked by how many of their answers contained ads, shown as "X of Y answers with ads" and a percentage. Click a category to filter the whole page to it.

### Ads by country

The countries where sponsored ads appear on your prompts, with the share of answers containing ads in each. Click a country to filter all charts.

### Top advertisers

The brands whose sponsored ads appeared most often in ChatGPT answers, ranked by how many answers contained their ads. Click an advertiser to explore their ads in more detail.

## Filters

* **Date range**: choose the period you want to see.
* **Countries**, **Categories** and **Tags**: narrow to a market, product line or group of prompts.
* **Models**: limit the data to specific AI models.

Clicking a category or country in the charts applies the same filter.

## Ad alerts

Click **Alert** to open **Country ads alerts**. Select one or more countries and click **Save**. KIME sends you an email the **first time sponsored ChatGPT ads appear on prompts you track in that country**. This is a simple way to know the moment ads arrive in a market you care about, without checking the page every day.

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Protect prompts you win organically" icon="shield">
    If competitors start advertising on prompts where you are strong, those are your Defend prompts in Campaign Builder. Consider a campaign to keep your position.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Combine with organic data" icon="scale-balanced">
