Prescriptive ad-intelligence systems, such as Intellsys AdGPT, simplify choices by turning complex data into ranked creative and budget actions. They analyse spend, audience patterns and performance signals to identify the most impactful moves. Marketers adopting prescriptive insights respond faster to market volatility and reduce reliance on broad dashboards.

Ad-intelligence platforms fall into five groups: spend trackers review multi-channel budgets, creative libraries catalogue assets and outcomes, audience-insight engines decode behavioural signals, predictive models estimate performance shifts, and benchmarking systems compare competitive activity. Each type supports a unique step in structured media planning and decision-making.
