About
Microsoft Invest was a demand-side ad management platform created after Microsoft's acquisition of Xandr to facilitate programmatic media buying.
Microsoft later retired the standalone platform to consolidate its advertising technologies and integrate buy-side capabilities directly into Microsoft Advertising.
The Trade Desk is a programmatic demand-side platform that enables marketers to plan, execute, and optimize data-driven advertising campaigns across digital channels.
It is built around the Kokai platform powered by Koa AI, which uses distributed machine learning models to evaluate impressions, forecast performance, and optimize bids in real time.
