📈 What's the scoop?

Clouted's AI agents ingest a brand's strategy, content library, and digital presence to autonomously run campaigns across clipping, UGC, fan pages, influencer seeding, performance ads, and viral stunts.

• Every campaign feeds back into the platform, so it learns which formats win, which audiences convert, and which channels compound over time and create virality.
• More than just making marketing campaigns. They tap into a network of 100k gig creators to edit clips, then use AI to determine the best social media platform and target audience for promoting them.
