Microsoft has announced that it’s updating its Retail Media tool with a new “Creative Studio” element, which will enable users to create totally new ads, in new formats, all via conversational AI prompts.

As explained by Microsoft:

“With this creative management solution, retailers and advertisers can boost creativity and productivity by generating banner creative with ease, thereby improving banner ads’ participation, performance, and ultimately revenue. With the easy-to-use AI-powered tools, retailers can also support the full breadth of their advertisers, especially the smaller ones who may not be equipped to run effective banner campaigns, thereby unleashing the full potential of banner ads’ growth in retail media programs.

The tool is able to create ads based on just a product URL, with users then able to further customize the creative for different channels.
