A proper, modern operational media system — built from the ground up with AI at its core — that takes what MX does today and supercharges it.
Not AI with a media interface. A system built for how media buying should work.
Like the price indicators on AutoTrader — instantly see if you're paying a good price, a fair price, or overpaying.
UK media owners with published rate cards. System populates pricing, human verifies. Confidence score on every line.
System flags for negotiation, manages the outreach, captures the agreed price. Builds history for next time.
Full manual process — but the system captures the result. Next time this format appears, it's Tier 1 or 2.
Media owners provide available inventory. System recommends which 10 units to pick from 1,000 options based on brief criteria.
| Drop | What the Team Gets | Dev Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Drop 1 | Campaign workspace, brief parsing, PO matching with split-pane review, XLSX export. Deployed on 25% of accounts running parallel with Excel. | ~35h |
| Drop 2 | Pricing intelligence — contextual panels, historic comparison, anomaly detection. Value tracking — real-time ratchet dashboard. Buying tracker eliminated. | ~21h |
| Drop 3 | Availability integration (Pearl, media owner APIs). Booking automation. Spec caching. Dependent on API access. | ~20h |
| Drop 4 | US operations — RFP agent, contracts, three-bucket commercial model. Reporting & reconciliation. | ~18h |
| Total | Full platform — modular, each drop is standalone useful. Stop after any drop. | ~150h |
Calendar scheduling (how hours map to weeks) is a project management exercise. We provide the engineering hours — Vix builds the calendar.
17 manual steps across the campaign lifecycle: 5 eliminated, 10 transformed by AI, 2 fully automated.
All technological change is a people problem. We've designed for that.
These run in parallel with development — they're not blockers.
Development starts immediately. The code doesn't wait for the questions to be answered — we build in parallel.
A proper, modern operational system that handles the heavy lifting — so planners can focus on strategy, relationships, and commercial decisions that grow the business.
