Artificial intelligence is no longer a future promise it has become an operational reality. And in this new landscape, AI agents are marking a turning point. We're not talking about simple virtual assistants or one-off automations, but rather systems capable of acting autonomously, making complex decisions, and executing strategic actions without constant supervision.
In marketing, their impact is already being felt: more efficient campaigns, large-scale personalized experiences, automated analysis, and continuous optimization. All in real time and with a level of agility that, until recently, seemed out of reach.
This article is a practical guide to understanding what AI agents are, how they are transforming digital marketing, and the specific opportunities they offer to brands looking to stay ahead. Spoiler: it's not about replacing teams, but about amplifying their strategic and creative capabilities.
And above all, because they are part of what we at Adsmurai call The Shift: a profound change in how brands build, activate, and measure their digital marketing strategy, placing technology at the center.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
An AI agent is a system capable of executing goal-oriented actions autonomously, based on the environment it perceives. Unlike traditional algorithms, it doesn't wait for detailed instructions or require constant intervention. It receives a goal, analyzes data, makes its own decisions, and acts.
In the context of marketing, this translates into agents that can, for example:
All of this, without the team having to execute each step manually.
AI agents solve some of the biggest current challenges in marketing: operational overload, channel and data fragmentation, and the difficulty of acting quickly. These are their three main strengths:
Consumers demand relevant experiences, and AI agents enable automated delivery. Thanks to their contextual analysis capabilities, these systems can adapt content, messaging, or creative assets to each user based on multiple variables: behavior, channel, location, weather, stock availability…
Practical example:
A fashion ecommerce site sets up an agent connected to its product catalog. The system detects that summer dresses are generating high ROAS but have limited stock. What does the agent do?
Marketing teams spend a lot of time on repetitive tasks: reporting, bid adjustments, performance analysis, anomaly detection… AI agents allow these processes to be automated with greater speed and accuracy.
This is where we move from manually executing tasks to designing systems that work for us. It’s no longer about micromanaging every campaign, but about defining strategic goals and letting technology act based on real-time data.
At Adsmurai, we’re already using agents that:
Digital marketing requires agility. Waiting until the end of a campaign to optimize is no longer viable. AI agents can analyze data in real time, identify patterns or anomalies, and act immediately to improve performance.
Real example:
A video campaign on TikTok begins to show a declining CTR after 48 hours. The agent detects the drop, compares it with the category benchmark, and launches an alternative version of the video with a different call-to-action format. The budget is automatically redirected to the new version. Result: performance corrected without human intervention.
At Adsmurai, we refer to The Shift as the paradigm shift shaping the future of marketing:
Agents aren’t just another tool — they’re a reflection of this new model. They enable fast action, coordinated channels, improved user experience and, most importantly, doing more with less.
The launch of ChatGPT Agent marks a new level of sophistication in artificial intelligence applied to real-world tasks. Introduced by OpenAI in July 2025, this agent goes beyond chatting — it makes decisions, performs actions, and completes complex tasks on its own.
What exactly is it?
ChatGPT Agent is a new capability within ChatGPT (available on Plus, Pro, and Team plans) that allows users to delegate entire tasks to AI. It's not about asking it to write a text or summarize an article — it can:
All this is possible thanks to an internal “virtual computer” and an integrated browser, giving it greater autonomy and flexibility.
ChatGPT Agent is powered by three key components:
The agent analyzes the user’s request, identifies the necessary steps, and executes them in sequence, all within a secure environment.
On top of that, ChatGPT Agent can notify users when a task is done (even via mobile app), and always asks for confirmation before performing critical actions like purchases or submissions.
Although the opportunities are enormous, there are also challenges that must be addressed responsibly:
The autonomy of the system does not eliminate the need for supervision. It is essential to define rules, limits of action and validation mechanisms. The combination of artificial intelligence and human judgement is key.
Agents need data to function. It is essential to work with first-party data, ensure regulatory compliance (such as GDPR) and protect the integrity of user information.
The incorporation of agents is not just about implementing technology. It is a change in the way we work. Teams must be trained to understand, interpret and work alongside these systems.
