Once the data is processed, your AI delivers these specific results.

FAQ

How this task behaves

    No. The AI only generates the recommendation. You must manually apply any budget changes in your marketing platforms.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide which channels to kill?

    No. The AI identifies inefficient channels, but you make the final call on whether to stop spending on them.

  • 03

    What data does the AI need to work?

    It needs your spend data and the corresponding return or revenue data for each channel.

  • 04

    Can it handle multiple currencies?

    Yes, as long as the input data is consistent.

  • 05

    Will it delete my existing budget settings?
