AI marketing agent
An AI marketing agent is a prebuilt persona — for SEO, AI visibility, influencer research, social listening, and more — that you run inside an AI assistant to do a specific marketing job, end to end, from live data rather than generic guesses.

The market splits into two kinds. Execution agents act for you — publishing content, running ads, posting. Research agents read and report — auditing, monitoring, pricing, and citing the evidence — so you decide what to do. The two are complementary: one does the work, the other tells you what work to do.
A read-only research agent has a specific advantage for trust and adoption: it never needs your posting credentials and never changes anything, so it is safe to run on day one. UnifAPI's agents are this read-only kind, run inside the assistant you already use.
