Google launches Ask Ad Manager, a conversational AI agent for publishers
Google has introduced Ask Ad Manager, a conversational AI agent built with Gemini, within Google Ad Manager, as announced by Ginny Marvin. Aimed at publishers, it answers questions and automates manual processes directly in the interface: diagnosing why a line item is not delivering and providing fix steps, answering complex performance questions such as how top bidders are performing, and surfacing insights without manual report-building.
What changed
It extends Gemini-powered assistance into the publisher side of Google's stack, mirroring the conversational agents appearing across advertiser tools and easing the reporting and troubleshooting burden for ad operations teams.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means publishers and ad-ops teams can troubleshoot delivery and query performance conversationally rather than digging through reports. Worth trialling on routine diagnostics to see whether it speeds up the work, while validating its root-cause findings against the underlying data.
