Our take

Until recently, brands and publishers lacked a practical means to interact in real-time, 1-1 conversations and provide content with customers both on and off their digital platforms. Firsthand is a specialized AI agent platform designed to cater to the needs of publishers and brands.

The platform offers a solution that enables publishers and brands to manage, safeguard, and utilize their data and content in direct conversational campaigns driven by tailored AI agents. This capability extends to various online channels where consumers actively seek information.

Now, with significant funding behind it, Firsthand is scaling its AI-powered brand agent after a successful pilot with select brands and publishers. Because of this, its emerging as a key player in AI-driven consumer interactions and building the infrastructure for the next wave of intelligent brand engagement.
