Fueling Agentic AI at the Intersection of Commerce Media and Automation

Commerce media remains one of digital advertising's fastest-growing segments, with eMarketer forecasting a 15.3% CAGR in U.S. ad spend from 2025–2029. Enterprises are turning to agentic AI to automate complex workflows involving multi-retailer coordination, compliance, and personalization—challenges that previously slowed execution. DaVinci Commerce addresses these directly with an AI-native architecture designed for scale, speed, and control.

"Commerce media growth is no longer limited by media spend but constrained by the ability to handle speedy launches, multi-retailer complexity, and compliance," said Diaz Nesamoney, Founder & CEO of DaVinci Commerce. "We built the DaVinci Commerce platform from the ground up to be AI-native, enabling brands to lower the cost and complexity of creating and running commerce campaigns across multiple retail media networks while improving performance through personalized commerce ads—all with enterprise-grade guardrails. As demand for agentic commerce marketing continues to accelerate, we raised this round of financing to further invest in product innovation and expand our go-to-market efforts."

Core Platform Capabilities Driving Adoption

DaVinci Commerce empowers brands through two integrated pillars:

  • Commerce Content Optimization: AI generates, refines, and personalizes ads and content for programmatic delivery, balancing scale with relevance.
  • Commerce Media Activation: AI agents automate campaign deployment in under five minutes across networks, preserving brand, legal, and retailer constraints.

Originally launched in August 2023, the platform now supports agentic shopping experiences that guide consumers via personalized prompts and real-time conversations. Rather than directing users to static landing pages, it enables AI-driven discovery and purchase completion, connecting marketing exposure to closed-loop transaction data and incremental sales lift.

"I am very excited to be teaming up with Diaz who is a seasoned serial entrepreneur with several prior successful ventures. AI is transforming the world of commerce marketing and DaVinci Commerce hit the market at exactly the right time when all enterprises are wanting to leverage AI to adapt to the rapidly changing consumer landscape of LLM-driven conversational commerce," said Ash Lilani of Saama Capital.

"CPG brands globally are seeing tremendous opportunity to leverage first-party consumer data and conversational signals to engage with and acquire customers in a personalized way," said Jerry Porter. "Prior to commerce media and LLM powered Agentic Commerce, brands were often flying blind with little visibility into or engagement with the actual purchase. DaVinci Commerce makes it easy for brands to engage consumers and connect the dots between exposure, discovery and purchase, delivering powerful insights to brands and personalized experiences to consumers."

The rebrand to DaVinci Commerce underscores the company's focus on pioneering agentic AI in commerce marketing—where intelligent agents collaborate with humans to accelerate outcomes while upholding trust, compliance, and performance.
