OpenAI will power the conversational intelligence behind Zeta’s Athena marketing platform. The integration marks a key development in Zeta’s AI strategy for enterprise marketing.

David A. Steinberg, Zeta’s CEO and Co-Founder, described the OpenAI partnership as the most instrumental in company history. The deal positions Zeta for potential early access to upcoming OpenAI models.

Two AI Applications Enter Beta Testing

Zeta expanded beta access for two Athena applications following strong enterprise demand. The Insights app provides conversational analytics for marketing teams.

Users can ask questions and receive instant trend data, audience segments, and dashboard views. The tool eliminates time spent searching through reports.

The Advisor app manages campaign optimization automatically. It scans campaigns continuously and recommends actions based on revenue growth, efficiency, and engagement goals.

OpenAI’s technology handles the natural language processing within Athena. The system transforms marketing questions into ready-to-use answers.

Giancarlo Lionetti, OpenAI’s Chief Commercial Officer, said the collaboration brings AI action into daily workflows. Enterprise teams can move faster on marketing decisions.

TKO Group Reports Instant Workflow Changes

TKO Group Holdings tested Athena before the wider beta launch. The sports entertainment company operates UFC and WWE brands.

Deborah Cook, TKO’s Vice President of Data Intelligence, reported transformative results. Her team now generates segment reports from simple prompts in seconds.

Performance comparisons across segments happen instantly. Creative optimization opportunities appear without manual analysis.

Cook said TKO plans to expand Athena use for geographic insights and performance tracking. The company anticipates broader adoption across business units.

Zeta first introduced Athena at its Zeta Live event. The platform adapts to individual user preferences and working styles.

Steinberg explained that AI is shifting from marketing’s periphery to its core. Athena converts the Zeta Marketing Platform into an intelligent operating system for growth.

The system can listen, reason, and execute tasks for marketing professionals. The OpenAI partnership simplifies enterprise adoption and scaling.

Strong demand from brands and agencies drove Zeta’s beta expansion decision. The company received more access requests than initially projected.

Zeta set an end of Q1 2026 target for full customer availability. All clients will have access to Athena by the first quarter’s close.

The partnership aligns Athena development with OpenAI model improvements. This synchronization aims to deliver faster, more confident marketing decisions for enterprises.

Zeta Global trades on NYSE under ticker ZETA. The after-hours stock movement reflects market response to the company’s AI platform strategy.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
