Over the last three years, Amazon Ads has mapped an incredible trajectory - robust year-over-year growth, elevation to the brand's 2nd-most profitable vertical outside e-commerce, and the newfound strength to take on the long-established competitors in the category.

"The new agentic AI tool is powered by Amazon's extensive retail insights which enable an in-depth understanding of the advertiser's brand and products, including what features make a product stand out," the company wrote in its press release.

While Prime Video is the centerpiece, the company also has emphasized its other venues for brand messages, including podcasts.
