Ads in AI chat apps
Built to keep your users' trust

FAQ
Questions about Aria Ads
What is Aria Ads?
Aria Ads is an ad network for AI apps. It helps developers earn revenue from free users by showing relevant, clearly labeled brand recommendations inside the conversation. Advertisers buy placements on a CPM, CPC or CPA basis. ARIA stands for Agent Revenue and Incentive Attribution. Aria Ads was founded by Robin Lim and Floriane Le Floch.
How do ads work inside AI chatbots?
The app sends the context of a conversation to an ad network at the same time as the model request. The network matches the user's intent to a relevant brand. The assistant answers first, and a labeled sponsored recommendation appears next to the answer, with a link to learn more or buy.
Can a sponsored result change what the AI assistant recommends?
Not with Aria Ads. The model writes its answer without any input from advertisers, and the sponsored recommendation is shown separately next to that answer. Every ad is labeled, so users can always tell the difference between the assistant's answer and a paid placement.
How do advertisers buy ads on Aria Ads?
Advertisers choose how to pay: CPM, per 1,000 impressions; CPC, per click; or CPA, when a user completes an agreed action such as a purchase. Aria Ads matches each ad to the intent of the conversation, so a placement only appears when the user's question relates to what the brand sells.
Which AI apps can use Aria Ads?
Aria Ads is built for consumer AI apps, assistants and agents with an established audience and a free tier. It fits best where people ask for advice before buying, such as shopping, travel, home and wellness apps. Developers can apply as launch publishers on this page.
