InMobi Launches Conversational AI Agent for Buyers

InMobi Advertising announced a conversational AI agent integrated into its self-serve deal platform, Buyer Hub, to help media buyers discover inventory, build deals, and optimize campaigns using natural language. Buyer Hub is now open to agencies and managed-service DSPs, offering role-based access controls, inventory discovery, self-serve reporting, and Deals Forecasting. The launch follows InMobi’s partnership with Scope3, which made premium CTV and mobile in-app supply — including Glance — available to AI-powered buying agents on Scope3 Interchange. InMobi positions the agent to speed up workflows while keeping traders in control, and agencies will access Buyer Hub through sales-assisted onboarding.

Android SDKs may leak users' precise location to advertisers

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) analyzed Android apps and found many third‑party advertising SDKs automatically inherit host app GPS permissions and, by default, capture and transmit precise location coordinates to ad networks and data brokers—often via real‑time auctions. Using network-traffic analysis and tools such as Exodus Privacy, researchers observed exact geographic coordinates being sent and named vendors including InMobi and Huawei. The report identified apps with a combined 60 million downloads and notes SDK providers claim reach across billions of users via tens of thousands of apps. Play Store privacy disclosures frequently fail to reveal this third‑party sharing, and developers may be unaware because disabling SDKs' default collection requires explicit code changes and documentation is unclear. EFF warns these sold location datasets pose serious privacy risks and calls for better developer practices and regulatory safeguards.

Liftoff reported Q2 revenue of $220 million, up 35% year-over-year and marking its eleventh consecutive quarter of revenue growth.
