Teads Ad Manager plugs campaign data into Claude and Gemini
Agencies in a closed beta can pull Teads audience and inventory data into Claude, Gemini Enterprise or Copilot; cross-screen buying is open to big clients now.
Teads, which sells ad space on smart TV home screens, streaming shows and news sites, released a new version of Teads Ad Manager, its buying software, on 29 October 2026 (the Teads release). Of four new parts, one is open today: Unified Performance, which runs sales-focused campaigns across TV and web placements for global enterprise clients, with conversion tracking through a Conversion API, a direct link that reports sales back to Teads, or Google Analytics 4.
The AI pieces are in a closed beta for a group of users Teads calls TAMbassadors. Teads describes AI helpers, called copilots, that each take one job in a campaign, from planning and setup to reporting. Two are named: Control Hub, which flags campaigns whose delivery is going wrong and, Teads says, cut troubleshooting from 15 minutes to under a minute in early use, and Strategy Builder, which drafts a plan from a brief. Through MCP, a standard way to plug outside data into AI assistants, agencies can bring Teads’ inventory, reach forecasts and audience insights into Microsoft Copilot, Gemini Enterprise or Claude. Teads plans wider access by the end of 2026, PPC Land reports.
On our 29 October price check, Claude Pro costs $20 a month and a standard Team seat $25. The Team card states no model training on your content by default; the Pro card carries no such line.
So of the Claude plans on our price check, the $25 Team seat is the one whose card states a no-training default, the line an agency would want in writing before it pipes a client’s Teads forecasts into Claude through the new connector.
