IAB Tech Lab releases AAMP 2.1 for AI ad agents
IAB Tech Lab published AAMP 2.3 on 2026-07-30, a maturity release that advances the Agentic Advertising Management Protocol from demos into enterprise production. The update adds enterprise deployment surfaces — Amazon Bedrock AgentCore runtime, REST and MCP modes, S3-backed inventory adapters, CloudFormation provisioning and nearly 5,000 unit tests — and interoperability enhancements (Streamable HTTP with SSE fallback, OAuth credential flows, and pluggable storage backends). It integrates multiple model providers and ad systems (OpenAI, Google, NVIDIA NIM, Ollama, Hugging Face; Google Ad Manager reporting, Meta Ads) and incorporates open-source contributions (HyperMindz, Mixpeek). AAMP 2.3 emphasizes operational guardrails: IAB Diligence Platform/SafeGuard Privacy gates, pricing provenance to prevent LLM-derived CPM hallucination, and standardized workflows. It also promotes Agentic Audiences by embedding audience vectors in the bidstream (OpenRTB/Prebid) to enable auditable, secure, large-scale agentic buying.
AAMP 2.1 standardizes enterprise deployment, privacy guardrails and platform integrations for AI agents—enabling more trustworthy, measurable agentic advertising across major platforms and influencing AdTech infrastructure and governance.

IAB Tech Lab Releases AAMP 2.0 Agent SDKs
IAB Tech Lab published AAMP 2.0, a production-ready release that delivers Buyer and Seller Agent SDKs for agentic programmatic trading. The release turns prior reference implementations into full-featured agent SDKs capable of discovery, negotiation, booking and audited transaction workflows. AAMP 2.0 includes a new Agentic Audiences OpenRTB community extension, a Prebid module, and an open‑source embedding scorer; the Agentic Audiences specification was donated by LiveRamp. The Buyer SDK adds multi-agent orchestration, a centralized Deals Library and campaign automation; the Seller SDK embeds standards (OpenDirect 2.1, AdCOM), media-kit management, a negotiation/pricing agent, state engine and connectors to ad servers and SSPs. Both SDKs are available on GitHub and support enterprise deployment patterns, multiple storage backends and integrations with common ad ecosystem partners.
IAB Tech Lab Reports AAMP Progress After Two Months
Two months after launching the Agentic Roadmap (now AAMP — Agentic Advertising Management Protocols), IAB Tech Lab reports early industry adoption and technical progress. Buy- and sell-side Agent SDKs are available and being integrated (notably Kochava’s use in StationOne), an IAB Tech Lab Agent Registry is live and already contains registered agents from vendors including Amazon Ads and PubMatic, and the Registry functions as an MCP server interoperable with chatbots like Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT. The Seller Agent SDK includes pre-built integrations with PubMatic and Index Exchange (and FreeWheel for CTV/video). IAB Tech Lab also enabled an OpenRTB extension to support “Agentic Audiences,” a privacy-focused ephemeral audience representation donated by LiveRamp. More announcements are planned ahead of the Tech Lab Summit on May 28 in NYC.
IAB Tech Lab Launches Unified Agentic Advertising Initiative
IAB Tech Lab announced the Agentic Advertising Management Protocols (AAMP), an umbrella initiative that groups its agentic standards, SDKs, and tooling for advertising. AAMP encompasses the Agentic Real‑Time Framework (ARTF), Agentic Audiences (formerly User Context Protocol), Buyer and Seller Agent SDKs, and other protocol work built on existing Tech Lab standards such as AdCOM and OpenDirect. IAB Tech Lab says ARTF is a high‑performance execution/control plane (claiming up to 90% latency reduction) while Agentic Protocols provide management schemas and reference implementations (Agentic Direct, Agentic Audiences, Agentic Mobile, Agentic Ad Objects). A third pillar, the Agent Registry, will provide agent identity, verification, and disclosure; the Registry is scheduled to launch next week. IAB Tech Lab previewed AAMP at its Agentic Bootcamp and unveiled it at Beet.TV’s Beet Retreat, and invites industry participants to join Agentic Task Forces for buyers, sellers, and audiences.
