Profound is where marketers that want to win in the AI era come to do their work. They run their visibility, sentiment, and accuracy analysis here. They build marketing Agents here. They surface opportunities, generate content, and act on insights here. So it only made sense that Documents lived here too.
Garrett Gomez and Siddharth Chandrappa
Tools for tracking sentiment in AI responses existed, but most stop at the surface. They tell you sentiment ticked up or down, maybe break it down by platform, and leave the hardest part to you: figuring out what's actually driving the shift and what to do about it. That's where AEO strategy stalls. We rebuilt Sentiment in Profound to fix that.
Multiple authors
Skills are reusable instruction sets you create once and apply anywhere you generate content in Profound. Configure your team's writing style, AEO best practices, or content guardrails as a Skill, then plug it into your workflows without having to repeat yourself.

OpenAI shipped its self-serve ChatGPT Ads Manager, opening up the platform to any U.S. advertiser, dropping the previous $50K minimum spend floor, and introducing CPC bidding alongside the existing CPM model. We shipped four OpenAI Ads nodes for Profound Agents the same day so that marketers can use this data in agentic workflows.
Helen Martin and Siddartha Mishra
An Agent is only as good as the context it has to work with. Profound's Knowledge Bases give your Agents the brand voice, product details, and messaging guidelines they need to produce work that's distinctly yours. Now, you can integrate your knowledge base directly with Notion and Google Drive.

Brandon Punturo
79% of prompts never trigger shopping. Not rarely — never, across nine months of data. The ones that do are surprisingly sticky: 83% chance of triggering again the next day. But that persistence decays, and model updates can reset it overnight. We tracked 26 million prompts across 13,000 categories to map where shopping actually shows up, how consistently it fires, and what that means for brands building strategy around a surface that barely turns on.
Siddharth Chandrappa

When marketing teams upload Knowledge Bases to Profound, Agents get a single source of truth for company-specific information. This means Agents can pull the right context on your brand every time they perform a marketing action on your behalf.
Matthew Huo and Jack Traina
Adding a Slack node to a Profound Agent helps marketing teams stay aligned and automatically notifies you of any relevant updates from your Profound instance. For example, instead of manually checking for updates on your brand's visibility and sentiment in AI search on Profound's platform, you can build recurring alerts that show up where you work.
