Upwave Launches AI Campaign Insights Sessions
Upwave announced AI Campaign Insights Sessions, a new capability within its measurement platform powered by Bayes, Upwave’s AI agent.

Adds conversational AI capabilities to a measurement platform, improving analyst-like access to campaign insights for customers but is a vendor product launch rather than an industry-wide platform change.

VideoAmp Launches AI-Powered Reporting for Measurement
VideoAmp announced an AI-powered reporting experience that enables media buyers and sellers to query the company's census-level campaign measurement in natural language and receive ready-to-use answers, visualizations and summaries. The feature — the first phase of VideoAmp’s 2026 roadmap toward a fully AI-powered media performance platform — initially supports advanced reach, frequency and outcome measurement. The AI is embedded in VideoAmp’s measurement stack with a semantic layer designed to prevent fabricated answers, flag caveats when data is insufficient, and produce defensible outputs. The launch will begin with a beta program for select clients; Omnicom Media is named as a first adopter. VideoAmp CEO Tony Fagan is quoted describing the product as built from inside the platform rather than as a conversation layer on top of data.
