Ask Ad Manager

Google has announced Ask Ad Manager, a Gemini-based AI agent for Google Ad Manager publishers. The tool is designed to help users investigate advertising issues through conversation, create custom performance reports from simple prompts, interpret data, and jump directly to relevant platform settings. Google says Ask Ad Manager uses a publisher’s own data to provide personalized recommendations and insights. The beta began rolling out in June 2026, with additional features and developer tools planned throughout the year. Google has not yet shared details about the underlying architecture, pricing, or supported scope, so publishers will need to assess its reliability and usefulness as the beta develops.

OpenMarketer

OpenMarketer is an AI-driven marketing operations system built to review and score content before it goes live. Founders, marketing teams, and agencies can define a brand system with rules for tone, colors, logos, and positioning, then use the platform’s scoring engine to receive structured feedback on drafts. The goal is to replace vague comments and repeated approval rounds with a more consistent pre-publishing check. OpenMarketer is still in early access, and the official site currently lists availability in India. Pricing, integrations, supported languages, and the technical details behind its scoring remain undisclosed, so teams should treat it as an early product to test rather than a finished replacement for human creative review.

HiveMind

HiveMind is Myosin’s AI marketing strategist, built to help founders and growth teams make better decisions before they spend weeks producing content. Instead of generating another batch of generic headlines, it challenges product positioning, examines go-to-market plans, develops brand messaging, and incorporates current market intelligence into its recommendations. Users can paste in a website URL or describe a product and receive feedback on weak assumptions, unclear differentiation, and audience problems. The service offers a free trial, while its membership pricing and benefits are not publicly listed. HiveMind is best suited to teams that need strategic diagnosis rather than a simple copywriting assistant.

OmniFlow

OmniFlow is an AI-powered sales platform currently presented on its official website under the KelBrix brand. It combines Google Maps lead extraction, WhatsApp CRM, AI voice calling, digital business cards, forms, QR codes, and pipeline management in one workspace. The service is aimed at B2B teams that want to find prospects and manage follow-up without moving between several tools. Its WhatsApp focus may be especially useful in markets where business conversations already happen in the messaging app. The website advertises a free starting option, while detailed paid pricing remains unavailable. Because the OmniFlow and KelBrix names appear together, prospective customers should confirm the product identity, plan limits, and supported features before committing.

ConvertRoast

ConvertRoast is an AI-powered landing page audit tool for founders, marketers, and indie developers who want a fast second opinion on conversion issues. Submit a public URL and receive a free conversion score, an A–F grade, and three likely reasons visitors may be leaving, with no account or email required. A one-time €19 payment unlocks a deeper report covering seven audit categories, three prioritized fixes, and an AI-ready prompt for turning the findings into page changes. ConvertRoast also offers an AI Discoverability score aimed at assessing how clearly a page may be understood by AI-driven search tools. It is a practical starting point, but not a substitute for behavioral analytics or user research.

Ads Decision Engine

Ads Decision Engine helps Facebook and Instagram advertisers decide whether a campaign should continue, be repaired, or scaled. Instead of presenting another dashboard full of isolated metrics, it combines a Campaign Health Score, industry benchmarks, consumer-psychology observations, economic viability checks, and break-even analysis. The tool also produces a seven-day action plan aimed at turning analysis into specific next steps. It is designed for independent advertisers and small teams that may not have a dedicated media buyer. New users receive three free analyses without adding a credit card, although details about paid plans are not clearly published and should be checked on the official site.
