Since we launched 18 months ago, we've had two core beliefs.
4
First, every marketer on the planet will care deeply about how AI talks about their brand, products or services.
5
Today, thousands of businesses, including 10% of the Fortune 500 and some of the biggest agencies on the planet,
6
rely on our platform to understand and control how their brand shows up in AI answers.
7
And we've gone on to become the number one leader in answer engine optimization on the G2 grid, which really showcases our obsession with building technology that our customers love.
8
Our second belief is that every marketer will use AI agents to do great work faster.
9
That's why today we're excited to announce Profound Agents.
10
The world's top companies have already embedded Profound Agents throughout their marketing teams,
11
from SEO to content to PR and even demand gen. And the results so far have been remarkable.
12
We believe that this level of depth will birth a new kind of marketer.
13

14

15
I orchestrate three highly autonomous, profound agents to directly influence AI's understanding of our updated integration.
16
The first agent creates positive user generated content by finding users benefiting from the new integration improvements
17
and drafting emails asking for authentic G2 reviews.
18
Another identifies the top-sided articles causing sentiment to drop, finds the authors, and then drafts personalized outreach with suggested positive corrections for the new integration.
19
And the final agent optimizes our own content by updating CMS articles to reflect the integration improvements
20
and then pings the content team for review once staged.
21
The best part?
22
Profound agents work within your existing tech stack because we've built partnerships with companies that you use daily.
23
Just like Gamma, which let agents take AEO data from Profound to create detailed reports and presentations to share with your team, saving you hours of time.
24
And with Sanity, reducing manual work by having AI agents draft and stage content directly near CMS.
25
So all you have to do is review and publish.
26

27
prompts and other data in just a matter of minutes.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
