MAI

MAI is an AI performance-marketing platform that runs autonomous AI agents to create, monitor, and optimize digital advertising campaigns 24/7 on behalf of brands. Founded in December 2024 by former Google Ads and Instacart engineering leaders, MAI natively connects to a company's advertising accounts and first-party data to deliver real-time performance analysis, attribution modeling, cross-channel budget allocation, automated campaign creation, and bid optimization. Its agents currently manage millions of dollars of Google Ads spend each month for e-commerce and consumer brands. MAI raised a $25M seed round led by Kleiner Perkins with participation from Gaorong Ventures and UpHonest Capital. MAI is delivered mainly as a managed SaaS product and as a Shopify app, and it has no general-purpose developer platform — no developer portal, API reference, OpenAPI, GraphQL or MCP server. It does publish one public, callable API: the MAI Pixel Event Collection endpoint at https://pixel.mai.co/api/collect, which ingests first-party commerce events from a merchant storefront so MAI's agents can attribute ad spend to revenue. Its contract is published not as a specification but as first-party TypeScript declarations inside MAI's MIT-licensed @mai-co/pixel SDK on npm.

MAI publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, AI, Artificial Intelligence, Marketing, and Advertising.

MAI’s developer surface includes pricing, signup flow, FAQ, support, authentication, and 21 more developer resources.

  note: Free tier plus MAI Plus at $2,000/month with a 14-day trial, read from MAI's Shopify App Store listing. Marked not-public
    because the product is reached by installing the Shopify app or contacting MAI, not by self-serve API keys; the Pixel
    collection endpoint itself is unauthenticated but is not offered as a general-purpose developer API. See plans/mai-plans-pricing.yml.

  description: The one public, callable API MAI publishes. A single unauthenticated write-only endpoint, POST /api/collect,
    that ingests first-party commerce events from a merchant's storefront — product views, cart activity, search, collection
    views and checkout — together with UTM attribution, so MAI's autonomous advertising agents can tie ad spend to revenue.
    Ten events are defined. Commerce identifiers in the payload are Shopify GIDs rather than MAI identifiers. MAI publishes
    no OpenAPI for this endpoint; the contract is published as first-party TypeScript declarations inside the MIT-licensed
    @mai-co/pixel npm package, from which the JSON Schema in this repository was transcribed.
