The Opportunity

Your best conversations are worth real money. Today they earn nothing.

You built an AI app people use. Millions of conversations, deep engagement, real utility. Every one of those turns costs you inference, and only a thin slice of users will ever pay a subscription. The rest are pure cost.

Meanwhile a meaningful share of those conversations carry genuine commercial intent. Someone comparing options, pricing something out, planning a purchase, choosing a vendor. In a browser, those are the most valuable moments in advertising. Inside your app they currently monetize at zero.

The intent is already there. The demand is already buying. What's missing is the infrastructure between them.

That is what Adgentek is. An ad server built for AI surfaces, connected to four tiers of demand: direct campaigns sold against your inventory, programmatic demand from leading partners, CPC feeds, and outcome-priced budgets. A request that does not clear the top tier keeps falling until it finds a buyer, rather than coming back empty.

The formats are native to a conversation rather than borrowed from a web page, because creative built for a scroll feed damages the trust you spent years earning. For the full breakdown of the three models, see ad networks vs ad servers for AI apps.

Why Adgentek

Built for conversations. Not retrofitted for them.

‹›

Conversation-Native Formats

Ad units designed for chat interfaces. Contextual cards, interactive Q&A, sponsored recs, not banners forced into a message thread.

Semantic Intent Matching

Ads matched to what the user is actually discussing, in real time, using conversation context. Not behavioral profiles or cookie data.

Privacy by Design

No user data shared with advertisers. No PII. No conversation logs. Targeting happens inside our system, advertisers see only aggregate performance.

You Keep Full Control

Format, placement, frequency, category restrictions, brand blocklists, you decide. We're infrastructure. You own the experience.

Premium Demand

Brand advertisers and agencies spending real budgets on AI conversations, not remnant display inventory. Quality ads that match quality apps.

Minutes to Integrate

Web SDK or the Publisher Widget for browser surfaces, AdsMCP for agent surfaces, REST for custom stacks. Add your API key and slot ID and go. No complex infra changes needed.

Latency

Under 300ms at p95, and never in front of your model call

Decision latency is under 300ms at p95. The request is dispatched in parallel with your completion, not ahead of it, so your response streams on its own schedule and the slot fills when the decision returns. If it does not return in time, the slot stays empty and the conversation is unchanged. An ad server outage is invisible to your users by design, and you can verify that by pointing the SDK at a dead endpoint.

How It Works

From integration to revenue.

1

Integrate the ad server

Drop in our SDK or connect via MCP. Configure your ad placements, where in the conversation flow, what format, how often. Create your publisher account →

2

We analyze conversation context

Our engine reads the semantic context of each user session in real time. No keywords. No cookies. Pure intent from the conversation itself.

3

Match to relevant advertisers

We surface the most relevant brand experience from our advertiser network, contextually matched, native to your format, brand-safe.

4

Serve AI-native ad formats

The ad appears as part of the conversation, contextual cards, interactive Q&A, sponsored recommendations. Not a banner. Not a popup.

5

User engages, you earn

Users interact naturally. Advertisers get qualified engagement and intent data. You get revenue, without compromising the experience.

6

Optimize and scale

Real-time analytics show what's working. Adjust placements, formats, and frequency. Scale revenue as your user base grows.

Integration Paths

Your rendering context decides which demand can serve

Impression-priced demand requires a real browser or app context where the impression can be verified client-side. Headless surfaces monetize on outcomes instead. We publish this because it determines what you earn.

React, iOS, and Android SDKs are in development. An impression fired from a server originates in datacenter IP space and is classified as invalid traffic, which is why headless surfaces are priced on outcomes rather than impressions. Full detail at choosing your integration path.

Web SDK
<script src="https://api.adgentek.ai/storage/v1/object/public/sdk/sdk.js"></script>
<script>
  AdgentekAds.init({ apiKey: 'YOUR_FULL_API_KEY_HERE', slotId: 'YOUR_SLOT_ID' });

// call after each AI response
AdgentekAds.requestAd([
  { role: 'user', content: userMessage },
  { role: 'assistant', content: aiResponse }
]);

Your API key is generated in the dashboard under Settings, API Keys and is prefixed adgt_. The slot ID is the placement ID from Inventory, Surfaces, and it drives targeting, floor pricing, and reporting. Placeholder credentials do not serve ads.

Install prompt for your coding agent

Integrate Adgentek ads into this app. Start by fetching https://docs.adgentek.ai/skill.md and following it, and fetch https://docs.adgentek.ai/llms.txt to discover the current documentation pages. Read https://docs.adgentek.ai/publishers/choosing-your-integration-path before writing any code so you pick the path this surface actually qualifies for. Do not invent endpoints, SDK methods, or MCP tool names; verify every symbol against the live docs. Ask me for the real publisher API key and slot ID rather than leaving placeholders, and never fire an impression pixel from server-side code.

Complete documentation is at docs.adgentek.ai. Coding agents should start from the Adgentek integration skill and use the docs index rather than a cached snippet.

Who Built This

Operators who have already built both sides of this stack

Adgentek's founders have been building programmatic infrastructure since 2007, one on the sell side and one on the buy side.

Frank Sinton

Co-Founder and CEO

Founded Beachfront in 2007 and built it into a cross-screen video SSP serving CTV and streaming publishers. Acquired by Seedtag in 2024. Seventeen years on the sell side.

Paul Harrison

Co-Founder and President

Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Simpli.fi, where he built the programmatic DSP and the buy-side infrastructure underneath it. Two decades on the demand side.

Yield management, waterfall logic, floor pricing, discrepancy handling, and the demand relationships that make a fill rate real are not new problems. They are the problems this team spent two decades solving before AI surfaces existed. Adgentek is that stack rebuilt for a conversational surface, not a first attempt at ad serving.

Demand Depth

Four tiers of demand, not one sales team

A single direct-sold demand pool leaves most requests unfilled. Adgentek runs a hard waterfall, so a request that does not clear the direct tier keeps falling until it finds a buyer rather than returning empty.

Can I control which advertisers appear?

Full control. Block categories, block specific brands, set quality floors, approve/reject individual advertisers. You decide what appears in your product.

How does this compare to Google Ads in my AI app?

Google Display was built for web pages. In an AI interface, those ads disrupt the flow, ignore conversational context, and deliver irrelevant content. Adgentek was built from scratch for agentic AI, conversation-native formats, semantic matching, and publisher controls designed for AI surfaces. See the detailed comparison.

What revenue can I expect?

Depends on your user base, conversation volume, and topic mix. Our interactive formats generate higher engagement than static display, which means higher effective CPMs. We'll share specific projections during onboarding based on your traffic profile.

Common questions

How do AI apps monetize without ruining the user experience?

Adgentek's ad server is built specifically for conversational AI interfaces. Instead of injecting display banners that break the flow, Adgentek delivers AI-native ad formats, contextual cards, interactive Q&A units, and sponsored recommendations, that feel like part of the conversation. The ad server uses real-time semantic analysis to match ads to what the user is actually discussing, not behavioral profiles. Publishers keep full control over format, placement, categories, and brand restrictions.

How does Adgentek compare to using Google Ads or traditional ad networks in AI apps?

Traditional ad networks like Google Display were designed for web pages, not agentic AI. When placed in AI chat interfaces, they disrupt the flow, ignore conversational context, and deliver irrelevant ads. Adgentek was built from scratch for AI, conversation-native formats, semantic intent matching, and publisher controls designed for agentic surfaces. AI apps using Adgentek report significantly higher user satisfaction and engagement compared to retrofitted display networks.

How long does it take to integrate Adgentek into an AI app?

Most publishers go live in minutes. Adgentek offers integration via the Web SDK, the Publisher Widget for article pages, AdsMCP for agent surfaces, or the REST API. After creating an account and adding your API key and slot ID, you can place native ad units directly inside your conversational interface. The Adgentek team supports initial setup to ensure placements are optimized for performance and user experience.

What data does Adgentek share with advertisers?

Adgentek never shares individual user conversations, chat history, personal details, or identifying information with advertisers. Advertisers receive only aggregated performance data, impressions, engagement rates, conversion metrics. Targeting is done via real-time semantic analysis of conversation context, not user profiles or behavioral tracking. Users' privacy is protected by design.

What control do publishers keep over ads in their AI app?

Full control. Publishers choose which ad formats appear, where they're placed, which advertiser categories are allowed or blocked, minimum quality thresholds, frequency limits, and brand restrictions. Adgentek operates as infrastructure, the publisher decides the experience. You can also set revenue splits, pause monetization for specific user segments, and review all active advertisers.
