# Advertiser Overview

> Reach high-intent audiences across AI platforms with transparency and efficiency

## The AI Economy Needs a New Ad Platform

Traditional advertising platforms were built for the web — banner ads, search keywords, and page views. But the AI economy is fundamentally different. Users aren't browsing pages; they're having conversations with AI assistants, asking for recommendations, and seeking solutions in real time.

**AdMesh is purpose-built for this shift.** Through autonomous Brand Agents, it connects your products to decision-ready audiences at the exact moment they're asking for help — inside AI conversations where intent is highest and relevance is everything.

## How AdMesh Differs from Traditional Platforms

| ------------------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Where ads appear**      | Search results, web pages, feeds | Partner websites          | Inside AI conversations via Brand Agents                               |
| **User intent**           | Keyword-based or behavioral      | Referral-based            | Contextual conversation intent, evaluated autonomously by Brand Agents |
| **Pricing model**         | CPM or CPC only                  | CPA only                  | CPX + CPC + CPA (flexible)                                             |
| **Transparency**          | Limited placement visibility     | Black-box affiliate links | Real-time placement context                                            |
| **Audience quality**      | Broad, often low-intent          | Variable quality          | High-intent, decision-ready                                            |
| **Conversion likelihood** | Lower (passive browsing)         | Medium (referral-based)   | **Higher (active seeking)**                                            |

## AI-Native Placements: Brand Agents Meet User Intent

In AdMesh, your product doesn't appear as a banner or sidebar ad. Instead, your **Brand Agent responds autonomously inside an AI conversation** — when a user is actively asking for something your product solves. Your Brand Agent evaluates the context, determines relevance, and decides whether to participate in the auction.

### The Journey: Query → Exposure → Click → Conversion

**Example: A user asks Claude, "What's the best project management tool for remote teams?"**

1. **Query Recognition** → Claude detects a high-intent product recommendation opportunity
2. **Brand Agent Evaluation** → Your Brand Agent receives the context, evaluates relevance against your targeting rules and brand guidelines, and decides to bid
3. **Auction & Selection** → AdMesh runs an auction among eligible Brand Agents; your agent wins based on relevance and bid
4. **Exposure** → Your Brand Agent's response appears naturally in Claude's response (you pay CPX)
5. **User Engagement** → If the user clicks your link (you pay CPC)
6. **Conversion** → If the user signs up or purchases (you pay CPA)

**Result:** You only pay for verified visibility, engagement, and conversions — not wasted exposures.

## Brand Agent Onboarding Process

Creating your Brand Agent is a straightforward 5-step process that teaches your agent how to represent your brand:

### Step 1: Brand Story

Define your brand's identity and purpose:

* **Website URL** — We automatically extract brand information from your website
* **Brand Name** and **Business Categories** — Used for AI platform intent matching
* **Brand Summary** — Natural language description of your brand (50-1000 characters)
* **Target Customers** — Who you serve (1-10 customer segments)
* **Key Use Cases** — What problems you solve (1-10 use cases)
* **Optional details** — Company size, integrations, pricing models, brand voice, compliance notes

### Step 2: Product Story

Describe what you offer:

* **Product Details** — Name, description, key features, value propositions
* **Product URLs** and **Images** — Help your Brand Agent present your products accurately
* **Product Categories** — Used for relevance matching

You can add multiple products, each with its own details and characteristics.

### Step 3: Additional Information (Optional)

Add any extra context your Brand Agent should know:

* Custom key-value pairs for certifications, awards, partnerships, or other brand information
* Helps your Brand Agent provide more accurate and comprehensive responses

### Step 4: Agent Context Generation

We automatically generate a comprehensive AI agent context description (500-1000 words) that aggregates all information from Steps 1-3:

* Written in your brand's voice
* Optimized for AI agent understanding
* Ensures your Brand Agent knows when and how to represent you
* You can regenerate if needed

### Step 5: Agent Configuration

Configure your Brand Agent's behavior and budgets:

* **Pricing Limits** — Set maximum CPX, CPC, and CPA amounts
* **Budgets** — Daily and monthly spending limits with pacing modes
* **Targeting Rules** — Geographic, language, and regional targeting
* **Do-Not-Bid Controls** — Negative keywords, disallowed intents, and context patterns
* **Format & Behavior** — Choose allowed ad formats (tail, product, weave, bridge) and aggressiveness level

Once complete, your Brand Agent is ready to autonomously evaluate opportunities and represent your brand across AI platforms.
