MAI is a San Francisco-based startup that offers an AI platform of autonomous agents that set up, manage, and continuously optimize Google Ads for businesses. The agents plug into a company’s data stack to fine-tune bids, budgets, creatives, and to flag issues such as stockouts or broken discount codes in real time. Early customers report roughly 40% higher sales while entrusting the system with millions of dollars in monthly ad spend. Since onboarding its first users in late 2024, MAI has doubled its customer base, attracting brands like Dreo, DrWoof, Flamingo, Patpat, and Vivaia. Co-founders Yuchen Wu and Jian Wang draw on deep ad-tech experience from Google and Instacart. By automating the complexities of performance marketing, MAI aims to give small and mid-sized businesses enterprise-level advertising capabilities without agency fees. The newly secured capital will fund expansion of the product and engineering teams and accelerate development of the AI agent platform.
