## Confirmed absences

These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications).

## Jobs To Be Done

From cited vendor documentation, each completion verdict says whether an agent can deliver the job's main outcome by and large through this product and which steps still need a person. Scope may limit cases or prerequisites while preserving that outcome. An unknown verdict means the answer is not yet established.

- **Create UGC video ads** — Produce downloadable creator-style video advertisements using synthetic actors or avatars.
  - Route: API
  - Completion: Documented complete
  - Setup needs a human: Unknown
  - Per-task human step: Unknown
  - On behalf of a principal: Unknown
  - Scope: An agent with a customized API-enabled Arcads offer, sufficient credits and authorized API credentials creates a script, starts generation, polls status and retrieves the generated video download link. Completion ends at the downloadable creator-style ad after account and credential setup.
  - Conditions: Requires an API-enabled customized offer under the terms, authorized credentials and sufficient credits. The official FAQ instead says Pro and above include API access, so confirm plan eligibility with Arcads. Human involvement during setup and execution, and permission to act for another principal, remain unassessed.
