Key capabilities listed include AI visibility tracking, competitor benchmarking, sentiment analysis, source extraction, prompt-level reporting, country/city tracking, misinformation detection and actionable recommendations. The company was co-founded by Felix Norton and Freddie O’Donnell, built in Cape Town, and offers a free tier plus paid plans. BrandAxis emphasizes fast setup and accessibility as a differentiator from higher-cost enterprise offerings in the emerging AI/answer-engine measurement category.
Atlantic launches Activated Intelligence for data, AI, apps
Atlantic, a North American technology and managed services provider, announced the launch of Activated Intelligence, a new division designed to help mid-market organizations integrate data, AI, and business applications to drive measurable business outcomes. Activated Intelligence unifies Atlantic's expertise in data and analytics, AI and intelligent automation, business applications, AI governance, and Microsoft Modern Work. The division offers a foundational managed AI program called AI Launchpad, which guides organizations through AI maturity assessment, governance and security gap identification, employee enablement, and high-value use case prioritization. The launch builds on Atlantic's acquisitions of BrainSell and Interloop, bringing their data, analytics, and business applications expertise under one integrated division. Atlantic CEO Jason Weiss, who also served as 'Client Zero' for the initiative, emphasized the importance of trusted data and governance in realizing AI's value. The announcement cites IBM Institute for Business Value's 2025 CEO Study, noting that 50% of CEOs feel their technology investments are disconnected, and 72% say leveraging proprietary data is key to AI value.
