Zoom Launches IQ for Sales and Webinar Branding Innovations
Zoom has unveiled Zoom IQ for Sales, an intelligent conversation solution for sales professionals, along with new Zoom Events and Webinar features such as backstage branding and branding for webinar sessions. Zoom IQ for Sales uses natural language processing to analyze post-meeting transcripts and deal progress data, generating insights on engagement, sentiment, filler words, good questions, and feature mentions. It is currently available in over 100 countries and includes Salesforce integration. According to Josh Dulberger, head of product, data and AI at Zoom, the tool supports sales coaching for onboarding and experienced reps, and helps identify opportunities and risks. The announcement builds on Zoom's investments in in-house voice recognition and NLU models. In February, Zoom also announced Zoom Contact Center, an omnichannel contact center solution, which is now available. The new tools aim to modernize customer engagement by turning customer interactions into actionable information for sales teams.
Zoom expands its platform with AI-powered conversation intelligence for sales teams and webinar branding features; relevant to customer experience and MarTech but not a major AdTech change.

Treasure AI Launches Personalization Studio, New Pricing Model
Treasure AI announced Personalization Studio, a marketer-facing UI for building and managing real-time website personalization campaigns. The tool leverages the company's unified customer data and real-time decisioning, part of its Agentic Experience Platform (AEP). Personalization Studio aims to reduce marketers' dependence on technical teams by enabling campaign setup in about 10 minutes. The announcement was made at the Agentic World 2026 conference. Concurrently, Treasure AI introduced an engagement-based pricing model for email, tying costs to customer actions such as clicks rather than message volume. This move reflects a broader industry trend among martech vendors adapting pricing to AI-driven capabilities. Chief Product Officer Rafa Flores highlighted the bet on click-through rates, underscoring confidence in the platform's intelligence.
Reflection AI launches open-weight model Beam at lower compute cost
Reflection AI has launched Beam, its first frontier open-weight AI model, claiming it matches leading Chinese models like GLM-5.2 on reasoning benchmarks while using 3-4x less inference compute. The 501B-parameter MoE model (23B active) was trained on 23.8 trillion tokens and features a 1M token context window. It targets enterprises, public sector, and sovereign nations, with plans for 'AI factories' allowing customization on proprietary data. Reflection has raised ~$4.7B from backers including Nvidia and Sequoia, and signed compute deals worth over $7B (including a $6.3B deal with SpaceX) for Nvidia GB300 chips. Independent analyses place Beam around GLM-5.2 level, below DeepSeek V4 Flash on some benchmarks. Beam's weights (under Apache 2.0) and technical details will be released this month via hyperscalers and neoclouds. Additionally, Mistral released 'Mistral Large 4', a 1 trillion-parameter multimodal model. The article also covers the rise of personal AI assistants like Instinct (raising $1B in Series C) and Meta's Muse, alongside a16z's report on AI app adoption and public safety concerns.
