The agents are designed to answer complex questions with precision, Tejas Manohar, co-founder and co-CEO of Hightouch, told MarTech. That precision stems from their focus on context.<\/p>\n<p>Hightouch added what it calls the \u201cmarketing context layer\u201d to its agents. It consists of customer data, campaign details, including creative and spending, and brand information such as brand guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Hightouch integrates with 300 marketing and data platforms. Manohar said the new agents do more than activate data from those platforms \u2014 they consume context.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Purpose-built agents trained in marketing<\/h2>\n<p>He described Hightouch Agents as purpose-built for marketers, giving them advantages over more generic AI tools. The company embedded specific skills in its agents that marketers need and enabled them to collaborate.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Manohar said that most marketers would be disappointed if they uploaded 10 creative images from a campaign, along with metrics, into ChatGPT and asked for analysis and recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has a hazy understanding from its pre-training of being trained on the internet of how to think about ads, but it\u2019s very hazy,\u201d he said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t have the hard skills on how to identify creative fatigue, what to look for week over week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hightouch collaborated with customers and marketing teams to develop its agents, asking them to outline all the steps involved in launching a campaign. These steps include research, creating briefs, campaign planning, content creation, gathering feedback, obtaining approvals, planning distribution and analyzing results.<\/p>\n<p>While many AI efforts in marketing focus on content creation, Manohar estimates content is only 10%\u201320% of campaign activity, and it\u2019s often siloed by role. As AI models improve at content creation, that\u2019s not an area where Hightouch \u2014 or other vendors beyond foundational models like OpenAI and Perplexity \u2014 are likely to win.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Manohar sees the value of AI in marketing coming from systems that augment and automate the other tasks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think what\u2019s really interesting about marketing is marketing covers such a breadth of dimensions of what AI makes possible,\u201d Manohar said. That includes reasoning, reading unstructured content, multimodal creative generation, coding (for HTML emails and landing pages) and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Dig deeper: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/martech.org\/oracle-debuts-ai-agents-for-cx-and-revenue-teams\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Oracle debuts AI\u00a0agents\u00a0for CX and revenue teams<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- START INLINE FORM --><\/p>\n<div class=\"nl-inline-form border py-2 px-1 my-2\">\n<div class=\"row align-items-center justify-content-center nl-inline-container\">\n<div class=\"col-12 pb-1\">\n<p class=\"inline-form-text text-center mb-0\">Fuel up with free marketing insights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-auto pb-2 pb-lg-0\">\n<p class=\"inline-form-text text-center mb-0\">Email:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-8 pe-lg-0\">\n<div class=\"form-nl-inline\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-auto\">\n<p class=\"text-center mb-0\"><a class=\"nl-terms\" href=\"https:\/\/martech.org\/terms-of-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"opens in a new tab\">See terms.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- END INLINE FORM --><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/martech.org\/hightouch-enters-the-fray-for-agentic-ai-for-marketers\/\">Hightouch enters the fray for agentic AI for marketers<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/martech.org\/\">MarTech<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hightouch today introduced Hightouch Agents, designed to accelerate and automate a wide array of slow, manual tasks that hinder marketing efforts.
