KNOREX Unveils AI-Driven Ads API for Seamless Automation
KNOREX Ltd. launched the KNOREX Ads API, an agentic AI-ready API intended as an infrastructure layer for AI-native, cross-channel advertising automation. The API has been initially deployed with three strategic partners (two in the U.S. and one in Southeast Asia) and is designed to unify execution across programmatic and walled‑garden channels. It supports the Advertising Common Protocol (AdCP) and is compatible with the Amazon Ads MCP Server, enabling AI agents to connect via natural-language prompts and to programmatically create/manage campaigns, retrieve cross-channel performance data, adjust budgets/bids, and generate reports across Meta Ads, Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads and TikTok Ads. KNOREX positions the API as expanding interoperability for its KNOREX XPO platform and as foundational infrastructure for agentic ad workflows.
A notable AdTech vendor released an AI-native Ads API that supports open agent protocols (AdCP) and Amazon's MCP, enabling cross-channel agentic automation; important for vendors, agencies and platforms building agentic workflows but not a major-platform policy shift.
