A neural network architecture that groups neurons into capsules to preserve spatial relationships and enhance image recognition.
AI systems that model cause‑and‑effect relationships to support decision‑making and campaign attribution.
Chain of thought is a technique where an AI model works through a problem step by step before giving its answer. For agencies, it is the reason asking a model to show its reasoning often produces better strategy and analysis.
A prompting technique that asks an AI model to work through a problem step by step before answering.
Conversational agents that engage with customers via text or voice, delivering support, information or guided experiences.
ChatGPT Ads are paid placements shown inside ChatGPT conversations, a new channel that is scaling faster than most agencies planned for.
Breaking a document into smaller pieces before an AI stores or retrieves it; chunk size and overlap shape how accurately the model can find relevant information.
Internet slang for a robot or AI system, used dismissively, now a shorthand for public backlash against AI showing up in daily life.
A situation where some classes occur more frequently than others in a data set, which can bias predictive models.
The task of assigning items to predefined categories, such as classifying leads as qualified or unqualified.
Unsupervised learning technique that groups similar data points to uncover patterns and segments without labels.
Delivery of computing resources over the internet, enabling scalable storage and processing for AI workloads.
Autonomous AI systems capable of writing, debugging, testing, and deploying code without direct programmer involvement, handling technical implementation from requirements to production.
Cognitive debt is the growing gap between what your team produces with AI and what your team actually understands. For agencies, it is the hidden cost of work nobody can fully explain.
The concept that working memory has limited capacity; relevant when designing marketing messages that are easy to process.
Difficulty in making accurate recommendations for new users or items due to a lack of historical data.
A recommendation technique that predicts preferences by analysing similarities among users and items.
Algorithms that identify clusters within networks or audiences based on patterns of interaction.
The study of language using computational methods, underpinning natural language processing.
An AI capability that lets a model directly operate software interfaces by clicking, typing, and navigating, rather than requiring an API to interact with an application.
When the statistical properties of a target variable change over time, requiring model updates.
A generative adversarial network that produces data conditioned on class labels to generate specific types of content.
Using AI to automatically generate or repurpose content, such as blog posts or social captions, at scale.
A tamper-evident label attached to an image, video, or audio file that records how it was made, including whether AI generated it.
Software that manages the creation and modification of digital content; AI plugins can automate tagging, formatting and distribution.
Tailoring content to individual preferences and behaviour using AI‑driven insights.
A verifiable, tamper evident record attached to a file showing what created it and whether it has been altered since.
When a conversation grows so long or cluttered that an AI loses the thread, mixing up earlier and later instructions and blending separate topics into noise.
Summarizing and pruning an AI conversation as it runs so the useful information survives and the noise gets dropped.
The accumulated gap between what an AI system actually knows about a project and what it needs to know to work on it reliably.
The practice of designing what information an AI model receives and when, so output stays reliable and on brand.
The tendency for an AI model’s output quality to quietly decline as a conversation gets longer, well before it hits the context limit.
The maximum amount of text an AI can consider at once, including your prompt, pasted files, and its own replies; anything beyond it is invisible to the model.
Serving ads that align with the surrounding content or context, using NLP and classification to ensure relevance.
An approach where models learn incrementally from new data rather than retraining from scratch, enabling responsive marketing systems.
Buying and selling that happens inside a conversation with an AI assistant, instead of sending someone to a separate website to check out.
Ad units placed inside AI-generated search answers, where the surrounding content is written by a model rather than ranked from a page.
The application of analytics and machine learning to improve the percentage of visitors who take desired actions.
Generative models that draft and refine marketing copy by learning tone, style and messaging guidelines.
The process of identifying when different words refer to the same entity, improving text understanding.
Distinguishing between variables that move together and those that genuinely influence each other; important for accurate campaign analysis.
The Craft Transfer Method is a four-step approach to AI training built on one principle: a new skill only transfers to real work when the practice environment mirrors the work environment.
Producing large volumes of ad creative by generating and assembling variants automatically instead of building each one by hand.
Models that forecast which customers are at risk of leaving so retention efforts can be targeted.
A system that collects and unifies first‑party data from multiple touchpoints to create a persistent customer profile.
A prediction of the total revenue a business can expect from a customer over the entire relationship; AI models help estimate CLV to guide marketing investment.
Platforms that manage interactions with current and potential customers; AI enhances CRM with predictive and conversational capabilities.
Practices and technologies that protect systems and data from malicious attacks, critical for safeguarding marketing assets.
A type of GAN used for image translation tasks, such as converting product images into different styles.
