What it does

Once installed, the agent follows Google's step-by-step instructions for placing banner ads in a mobile app built for Android, iOS, or Unity. It asks which platform you use if unclear, defaults to the Large Anchored Adaptive banner type, and walks through defining the ad view, setting its size, registering load events, loading the ad, and verifying it works. It also reminds you to swap the test ad unit ID for your own before release.

Great for

  • Mobile developers adding banner ads to an Android, iOS, or Unity app
  • Teams integrating the Google Mobile Ads SDK for the first time
  • Developers who want a checklist-driven setup that uses Google's test ad IDs during development

Skip it if

  • Interstitial or rewarded ad formats, which the skill explicitly excludes (the skill is banner-only)
  • Web or non-mobile projects, since the instructions only cover native mobile SDKs and Unity
  • Shipping to production without review: the agent may leave test ad unit IDs in place if the reminder is ignored

Try asking

  • “Add a large anchored adaptive banner ad to my Android app's home screen”
  • “Set up Google Mobile Ads banner ads in my Unity game”
  • “Integrate a banner ad at the bottom of my iOS SwiftUI view”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • State your platform (Android, iOS, or Unity) up front so the agent reads the correct reference guide
  • Ask for a specific banner type only if you need one; otherwise the adaptive default is used
  • Before publishing, replace the test ad unit ID with your real AdMob ad unit ID and verify the app's ad configuration
