iSpot has launched iSpot SAGE, an agentic AI-powered platform developed over two years with input from major brands including General Motors and Airbnb. Built on massive proprietary advertising data—including frame-by-frame analysis of 2.5 million ads and ~100 million verbatim survey responses—SAGE transforms complex TV and video ad intelligence into instant, actionable insights across creative, audience, and outcomes.

  • iSpot SAGE leverages agentic AI and substantial NVIDIA-powered compute to deliver real-time insights from every frame of ads, persistent consumer surveys, and cross-platform measurement spanning 185 TV networks and 500 publishers.
  • First release focuses on creative: Creative Insights Analyst diagnoses performance and Creative Planning Assistant generates strategic recommendations.
  • Automates production deliverables in beta—creative briefs, script outlines, storyboard directions—while enabling multi-brand competitive analysis.
  • Provides granular metrics: Ace Scores (Likability, Attention, Watchability), Purchase Intent, storyline/theme tagging, and demographic/Intender slicing.
  • Ensures trustworthy outputs through proprietary, historically comprehensive data that generalist AI cannot replicate.
  • Aims to improve first-time fix rates, emotional resonance, recall, and overall advertising effectiveness by connecting creative elements directly to consumer perceptions and performance.

The platform addresses longstanding pain points in TV/video advertising: manual data pulls, fragmented analysis, and delayed insights that hinder creative optimization and campaign effectiveness. SAGE deploys specialized agents that reason over iSpot's unique dataset—frame-level metadata, storylines, transcripts, consumer feedback, and ecosystem-wide measurement—to surface previously inaccessible connections between creative choices and real-world outcomes.

Brands gain a holistic marketplace view, with AI-driven tools that accelerate workflows from diagnosis to production-ready deliverables. Competitive intelligence allows direct comparisons against rival campaigns, while advanced audience filtering targets high-value segments planning purchases.

"The market has made it clear that a trusted model, grounded in expert data, is the only AI they want for their video investments," said Miles Drayton, Global Director, Marketing Intelligence, General Motors. "iSpot SAGE delivers on this by pairing the productivity gains of AI with a partner who knows their data better than anyone, eliminating the doubt and manual busy work that has plagued campaign optimization for years."

"The primary goal for advertising is driving better connections with our customers and conveying information. iSpot SAGE is a great example of how we're investing in innovations that drive better emotional resonance and recall," said Kyler Blackmore, Media Director at Balance of Nature.

"iSpot is the leader in real-time video ad analytics across creative, audience and outcomes," said Sean Muller, CEO and Founder of iSpot. "Now we are putting our massive proprietary intelligence to work in AI models that the industry can trust, and with our continued mission to modernize the TV marketplace with insights that are fast, accurate and actionable."

iSpot SAGE marks a major advancement in cross-platform TV measurement, combining iSpot's foundational real-time ad intelligence (established since 2012) with agentic AI to deliver enterprise-scale, trustworthy insights that drive better creative decisions, stronger consumer connections, and assured advertising ROI.
