• Inexperience & Inconsistency: The industry sees a high influx of new marketers, leading to inconsistencies.

• Fragmented Stack: The sheer number of marketing tools available (over 15,000) results in fragmented efforts and wasted resources.

Our solution is built on three pillars: Automation, Integration, and Agentic AI. The Good Bards Agentic Marketing OS features:

• Data Acquisition, Analysis, and Personalization: Turning raw data into actionable insights.

• Agent Catalog, Chatbots, and Assistant: Intelligent agents to streamline marketing tasks.

Built entirely on Google Cloud, our platform ensures full integration with Google Technology. This means our users benefit from robust connectors to main marketing channels and the flexibility to choose their preferred Large Language Models (LLMs).

We believe in the immense potential of our solution, addressing a Serviceable Obtainable Market estimated at USD 3 billion, within a broader Total Addressable Market of USD 150 billion. Our strong pipeline and collaborations with industry giants like Google, Meta, and AI Singapore further validate our trajectory.
