Winning in AI Search requires an inhuman amount of work. That is why we are building the AI platform for marketers, underpinned by two things:
1/ Your AI Marketer, a marketing expert that proactively investigates your data, identifies opportunities, and then does the work while you stay in the loop.
2/ Context Manager, a living synthesis of your meetings, email threads, and brand data powering this new teammate. As your brand evolves, so does your AI Marketer.
AI labs are pushing the frontier in fields like engineering, law, and finance. But marketing, one of the economy's most complex and consequential applications, has received far less attention.
That’s why we’re expanding our applied AI research team. We’re bringing together research scientists, engineers, and IOI medalists to advance AI for marketing. Their focus: post-training models for marketing workflows, and building the world's first AI benchmark for real-world tasks in the field.
Are speed and quality really at odds?

New from Profound: Marketing Meditations.
We put a few of our customers on a therapy couch and asked them about how their AI Marketer is helping them do better work, faster.
Thank you to Robert Lipman at @tryramp, Sarthak Malhotra at @WisprFlow and @ravishagrawal at @GammaApp for taking part!
It was a pleasure returning to @spc NYC, right where @profound started, to talk about our story, particularly how design plays such an important part.
Thanks for the excellent conversation, @soleio!
