Then just ask Codex

Ask about the accounts you connected. Your agent can compare results, explain a trend, or build a campaign.

Build a Google Ads performance report for my account. Find the KADS reporting tools, check the response fields, and use the last 14 days of data.

I’ll inspect the account and reporting tools, fetch the selected period, and use the returned fields to build the report.
