Cognitiv has launched AudienceGPT, an AI-powered tool that identifies audiences based on real-time consumer journeys rather than static segments. The platform analyses behavioural signals to predict current purchase intent, moving beyond outdated browsing data. AudienceGPT uses deep learning to develop synthetic consumer journey profiles that can be updated every 15 minutes. Marketers describe their target audience in plain language through a chat interface and receive real-time persona recommendations. The solution works across audio, connected TV, social and programmatic channels. The launch includes partnerships with Magnite, Index Exchange and LiveRamp Marketplace for supply curation and distribution. Cognitiv reported 388% growth in 2025. The company has raised total funding but specific amounts were not disclosed in this announcement.

ContextGPT's fully co-located real-time SSP integrations also update segments with new content in real-time, allowing buyers to take advantage of new content and its many new readers instead of having to wait a day or more when the stories are stale in other context solutions. This technology gives WunderKIND Ads' media buyers real-time visibility into how audience signals intersect with content, enabling more relevant ad delivery that drives higher-value demand, increases yield, and improves overall monetization efficiency. "This is how contextual advertising should work," said Adam Gendelman VP, Head of Sales, Supply & Operations at WunderKIND Ads.

The result is brand-safe advertising powered by human-like understanding, optimized for relevance, scale, and performance. "Cognitiv has seen the power that AI-driven contextual signals can unlock for our own clients, so this integration is a natural next step," said Jana Jakovljevic, SVP, Partnerships, at Cognitiv.

It is a great example of how AI can elevate both monetization and performance at the same time."
