PropellerAds upgraded NIKO, its AI-powered campaign agent, into a conversational co-pilot designed to manage advertising workflows end to end. Announced on July 28, 2026, the system can create, edit, monitor and optimize campaigns through chat without requiring advertisers to use the traditional dashboard.
NIKO supports all PropellerAds formats, including Push Notifications, Onclick, Telegram Ads, Interactive Ads and Paid Social Traffic. Advertisers can configure targeting by geography, operating system, device, browser, language, ISP and other parameters, while the agent also provides bid and test-budget recommendations, retrieves performance data and answers platform questions using PropellerAds’ Knowledge Base.
For advertisers, the upgrade aims to reduce setup time and simplify campaign management. PropellerAds’ internal testing found that NIKO users reached their first campaign draft 11 times faster, while campaigns launched through the agent generated two to four times more revenue than manually configured campaigns.
