How we turned LG Ad Solutions into an agentic company

The platform that delivers ads to more than 216 million Smart TVs went from designing 10 ads a day to over 1,000, and from waiting 3 days for a report to getting it in 2 seconds. Today more than 29 AI agents run its entire business. We built the platform that made it possible.

The challenge

LG Ad Solutions was growing faster than its operations could sustain.

Its main challenges were the following:

1

The competition was already ahead

The market moved to automation, and fast. Nearly 1 in 4 companies were already using intelligent systems. Meta, Google and Amazon were playing two or three steps ahead.

2

No one could see the ROI

Clients invested millions to appear on smart TVs. But LG couldn't quickly answer something basic, like whether it was even working.

3

Inefficiency was costing money

Of every dollar, only 62 cents reached mid-sized companies. The rest was lost along the way. Each team built its own tools, so work and spend were duplicated.

4

Everything was slow and manual

If a client asked for their results, someone had to gather the data by hand and build the report from scratch. Over and over.

5

Secure collaboration wasn't possible

Clients couldn't cross their data with LG's privately, nor get their own answers without depending on LG for every query.

The solution

Agentiv

We built Agentiv, a complete agentic automation platform, with more than 30 agents that automate tasks.

Coordination

Penguiflow

Coordinates the AI agents.

What it is

It makes all the agents work reliably and in an orderly way. If something fails, it recovers on its own.

What problem it solved
  • LG Ad Solutions no longer builds each agent from scratch.
  • It no longer fixes failures by hand, one by one.
Result

We released it as open-source software and today it's used by thousands of teams worldwide. It's in the top 25% of its category by adoption: what we built for LG works at scale.

Secure memory

Iceberg

Provides memory and privacy.

What it is

It lets agents remember the context from one conversation to the next, securely.

What problem it solved
  • Each client only accesses their own information.
  • LG Ad Solutions logs who accessed what and when, and can export/delete a client's data on request (as required by law).
  • Agents share useful learnings without exposing private info.
Result

Agents learn and improve with every interaction, and clients trust that their data is protected. All with no legal risk or operational complexity.

The agents

What Agentiv includes

More than 29 agents in production: some serve clients, others run the business from the inside.

For clientsDisney, Hulu, Apple TV and more

ACR Agent

Live reports

Clients can ask it questions to see whether the money they're spending on ads is paying off. For example: “What was my CTR in LATAM?”. The agent pulls data, generates charts and explains in detail.

From 2-3 days waiting on IT → 2 seconds, self-service.

Learn about ACR technology

Media Planning Agent

Campaign simulation

Clients can project how much they'd earn based on how much they spend on ads. It automatically projects ROI, reach and conversions from historical data.

More likely to invest in ads

Campaign Performance Agent

Automatic monitoring

It watches live campaigns. If performance drops, it automatically alerts the client. It also adjusts targeting and pauses poor placements automatically.

Less money wasted, more conversions saved.

For internal operationsthe LG Ads business, from the inside

Hermes

Automatic creatives

It takes a brief and automatically generates 50-200 variants, adapted by device (55", 65", 75"), region (LATAM, EMEA, APAC) and audience, validated against brand guidelines.

From 2-4 h/banner → 5 min/banner (100× capacity).

Mosaic Agent

Campaign automation

It automates the full cycle: setup, QA, monitoring and optimization. It catches errors before launch.

Zero human errors, scales without friction.

Reporting Agent

Self-service analytics

The team asks in Slack (“ROI of campaign X?”). It runs queries, generates charts and explains in 2 seconds.

IT freed up 25%, now on strategic projects.

Finance Agent

Automatic budgeting

It manages the budget in real time, alerts if it's exceeded and suggests where there's an opportunity to spend more.

Perfect budget control, money optimized.

HR Assistant

Policies and processes

The employee asks (“what's the vacation policy?”) and gets an immediate answer, without waiting on HR.

HR freed from repetitive questions.

+ 20 more agents

Across Data Science, Sales, Tech, Creative and Operations, each solving a specific bottleneck in the operation.

How it orchestrates everything

Many agents, working together, automatically

Let's take a concrete case: launching a campaign for Disney. What used to be a manual, weeks-long process, Agentiv now orchestrates on its own, with each agent handling its part in parallel.

“Launch a campaign for Disney.”
What needs to happen
Before: by hand
Now: with Agentiv
Design the ad for each type of TV
A designer built the ad and resized it by hand for each resolution, region and audience. Days of work per campaign.
Hermes generates all the variants on its own (by screen size, region and audience), already validated against the brand guidelines.
Set up the campaign
Someone uploaded the creatives and set up the targeting and placements step by step.
Mosaic handles the full setup automatically.
Check for errors
Manual review looking for broken ads or misconfigured targeting. Slow, and errors still slipped through.
Mosaic catches the errors before launch. Zero human errors.
Project results before launch
Estimates in spreadsheets, or it just launched blind.
Media Planning simulates the expected ROI, reach and conversions.
Validate the budget
Back-and-forth over email with finance and spreadsheets. More days.
Finance validates the budget on the spot.
Build the dashboard for the client
You'd ask IT and had to wait 2-3 days for the report.
ACR prepares the client dashboard automatically.
