Founded in 2025, Gradius develops native advertising for AI services, delivering ads at moments when users have formulated queries, compare offers, or choose products. The platform supports media formats, a transactional model that lets users move from question to purchase inside AI dialogs, a self-service advertiser cabinet, and agent-driven commerce with publishers. In under six months from launch the team secured angel investment and demonstrated initial commercial results and integrations with AI services. The company aims to scale so that by the end of 2026 Gradius becomes the first Russian ad network selling AI inventory as a standard performance channel, and it is preparing a seed round in 2027. Gradius has earned industry recognition, including #1 on Product Radar and first place at Yandex AI Startup Lab, and is focusing current funds on algorithm improvement, advertiser tools, and publisher network growth.
