Streamer AI's Innovative Approach
As the discussion shifts to Streamer AI, Jonathan talks about their platform aimed at democratizing CTV advertising. He emphasizes that Streamer AI launched in beta in March and has quickly grown by integrating advanced generative AI technologies that allow businesses to create commercials easily.
With just a business name or URL, users can generate an ad in seconds, edit it, and launch it seamlessly. Jonathan notes that the platform supports multiple languages and automatically appends audience segments based on the business’s context, which allows for better targeting.
Real-World Applications and Success Stories
Jonathan shares success stories from businesses that have used the platform.

Streamer AI aims to bring more small to medium-sized businesses into the CTV advertising space, providing them with tools previously exclusive to larger firms.
Challenges and Opportunities
The conversation also addresses the challenges of getting advertisers comfortable with using generative AI for ad creation, as businesses often find the process too easy to be true. To combat this, Streamer AI provides detailed performance tracking to reassure clients of the effectiveness of their campaigns.
Jonathan highlights their partnerships with well-known publishers like Reach TV and talks about the continued interest from linear TV companies looking to enhance their advertising offerings with Streamer AI's technology.
Future Aspirations
Jonathan hints at exciting developments in the pipeline, specifically the upcoming launch of generative AI 3.0, which aims to elevate the quality of AI-generated commercials even further while avoiding the pitfalls of the uncanny valley—ensuring that the generated content feels authentic and relatable.
