The Trade Desk Launches Kokai, Strengthening the Potential of the Open Internet with Distributed AI Functionality


This IDC Market Note discusses The Trade Desk's recent launch of Kokai, a platform that incorporates distributed artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced measurement techniques to enhance programmatic advertising across the open internet. Kokai offers features such as predictive clearing, relevance scoring, improved measurement and forecasting, budget optimization, and KPI scoring to help marketers improve their results. It also introduces new advances in digital advertising measurement, including the Retail Sales Index for measuring online and offline retail sales on their platform, the TV Quality Index for measuring ad experience quality on streaming platforms, and the Quality Reach Index for precise targeting of customer profiles. In addition, Kokai brings an improved user experience through the launch of a Programmatic Table, an intuitive interface that guides users through the media buying process and presents comprehensive campaign information. Beyond advertiser features, the company also launched a new Partner Portal designed to facilitate easier integration with its platform. The company aims to attract thousands of new partners and provide advertisers with access to a more diverse range of trusted partners and services. With the Kokai announcements, as well as The Trade Desk's ongoing commitment to the Unified ID 2.0 program, The Trade Desk continues to demonstrate its steadfast commitment to the open internet. The company seems well positioned to establish itself as the de facto standard in open internet advertising, similar to how Google has become the standard in search. The success of its approach, however, will depend on its ability to move beyond the "top 20%" and engage the long tail of brands and media partners — not an area the company has been known for historically.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
