Our Deal Management Agent: Bringing Scaled AI-Adoption to PMPs, PGs, and Auction Packages

Revolutionizing Deal Management: How AI is Transforming PMPs, PGs, and Auction Packages

The world of programmatic advertising is built on complex ecosystems, with private marketplaces (PMPs) and programmatic guaranteed (PG) deals forming the backbone of modern ad transactions. However, behind every PMP or PG deal lies a series of intricate configuration steps. Dates, pricing, targeting, pacing, and partner assignments must all align perfectly, creating a daunting task for teams managing dozens or even hundreds of deals simultaneously.

The Challenge of Manual Deal Management

Managing PMPs and PG deals manually is a time-consuming and error-prone process. The numerous steps involved in setting up these deals can add up quickly, leading to inefficiencies and bottlenecks in ad operations. For instance, a single misconfigured deal can result in lost revenue, strained relationships with buyers, or even a damaged reputation.

• Manual Configuration Steps:
  • Setting up deal dates and durations
  • Defining pricing and budgets
  • Configuring targeting and pacing
  • Assigning partners and permissions

These manual steps not only consume valuable time but also increase the likelihood of human error. As the number of deals grows, so does the complexity, making it increasingly difficult for teams to manage deals efficiently.

Introducing the Deal Management Agent

To address these operational complexities, PubMatic introduced its Deal Management Agent, powered by the PubMatic Assistant. This innovative solution brings AI-powered deal setup to publishers, streamlining the process and reducing the burden of manual configuration.

Proven Impact with Publishers

Since its launch, the Deal Management Agent has enabled over 1,000 AI-powered deals, transacting millions in platform spend. By translating natural language instructions into structured deal configurations, the agent replaces complex, multi-step UI workflows with a conversational setup experience. Early tests indicated an 87% reduction in deal setup time, freeing publishers to focus on higher-value tasks.

For example, a publisher managing PG deals can log into PubMatic’s platform and enter:

“Create two PG deals for buyer ABC and DSP 123 with a $20 CPM, $50,000 budget, priority P6, even pacing, :15 creative, CTV only, with the first deal running from 5/1/26 to 6/1/26 and the second deal running from 7/1/26 to 8/1/26.”

The agent then generates a structured summary for review, allowing for a single approval to activate both deals simultaneously. This capability supports both individual and bulk workflows, enabling teams to create or edit multiple deals at once.

How the Deal Management Agent Works

The Deal Management Agent provides a conversational setup experience, allowing users to configure deals using natural language. This intuitive interface eliminates the need for manual UI workflows, reducing the complexity and time required for deal setup.

• Conversational Setup Experience:
  • Users input deal requirements in natural language
  • The agent translates instructions into structured deal configurations
  • Deals are generated and ready for review and approval
