Meta has put its ad system in open beta behind an MCP server and a CLI, letting ChatGPT, Claude and any other MCP-aware agent read reports, build campaigns, manage catalogues and run signal diagnostics across Meta ad accounts in natural language. The unit of work for paid social is shifting from the UI to the prompt.YouTube has rebranded BrandConnect as YouTube Creator Partnerships and folded it into Google Ads and Display & Video 360, with Gemini doing the discovery across more than three million YouTube Partner Program creators. The standout feature is "creator partnerships boost", which turns any organic creator video into a paid Short or in-stream ad. Influencer marketing has been pulled inside the performance stack.OpenAI has launched Workspace Agents — a successor to Custom GPTs that runs inside ChatGPT Business and Enterprise and plugs into Slack, Salesforce, Google Drive, Microsoft 365, Notion and Atlassian. Free until 6 May, then credit-based pricing kicks in. This is the first time OpenAI has shipped an enterprise automation runtime, not a chat product.GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, Codex and a new Bedrock Managed Agents product are now in limited preview on AWS. This is the first concrete consequence of OpenAI's amended Microsoft deal and turns AWS into a credible procurement route for enterprises that wanted OpenAI without going through Azure.Watchlist: Anthropic's Claude Security has hit public beta for Enterprise customers, with CrowdStrike, Wiz, Microsoft Security and the big four consultancies wired in; and Google Marketing Live lands on 20 May, on the same day as Google I/O — expect Asset Studio, Marketing Advisor and the Google Ads Expert agent to be the centrepieces.The pattern across the day is that the AI layer has stopped being a destination and started being a controller. The agent now sits between the operator and the platform, and the platforms are racing to make sure their surface is the one the agent talks to first.
