February 18, 2026 — Boise, ID — AdPrompt.ai, an AI-powered marketing platform for small businesses, has deployed a selection of its agentic capabilities from its intelligence suite to the x402 marketplace. Leveraging Base’s Layer 2 infrastructure and the x402 payment standard, this integration enables businesses to pay per-use for advanced marketing functions without subscriptions or contracts.
The AdPrompt Marketing Platform combines multiple purpose-built AI agents to deliver a comprehensive toolkit that helps small businesses drive brand awareness and sales in their local markets. In minutes, users can generate on-brand creative content, optimize across key marketing channels, and launch campaigns tailored to their location, audience, and voice.
AdPrompt’s intelligence layer is powered by a suite of trained, specialized AI engines, each designed to automate and optimize a specific marketing or advertising task that often overwhelms small business owners. Rather than working in isolation, these engines are orchestrated to operate together as a cohesive system.
This enables seamless handoffs and collaboration among capabilities, such as analyzing a brand’s identity, generating on-brand creative assets, planning and optimizing ad campaigns across multiple channels, dynamically testing and iterating, and converting performance data into actionable insights. As the platform evolves, new engines are introduced, expanding the breadth and depth of automation available to users. Together, these agents handle the heavy lifting so business owners can focus on serving their customers.
“Our mission is to make marketing and advertising accessible to every business, especially small businesses competing in hyper-local markets,” said Ken Brook, Founder and CEO of AdPrompt. “To accomplish this, we built a new technology stack that brings together specialized AI Agents that learn continuously to deliver smarter actions, recommendations, on-brand creatives, and channel-ready campaigns with clear performance insights so local businesses can focus on driving customer growth.”
In simple terms, x402 is a programmable micropayment protocol that enables APIs to be accessed and paid for on a per-call basis without the need for subscriptions or billing accounts. x402scan is a discovery layer and marketplace where users can browse resources that use the X402 payment protocol, and pay for calls via web UI or automated tools.
AdPrompt has deployed three purpose-scoped API resources on x402, powered by its specialized AI engines. These resources let users analyze brand properties, generate on-brand creative assets, and receive strategic recommendations, all with a single API call and micro-payment.
In addition to the human-readable report, this agent produces a complete raw JSON metadata bundle containing the underlying scraped and analyzed data, making it easy for downstream tools and agents to reuse the full dataset programmatically.
Part of AdPrompt’s mission is to automate the discovery and connection between local small businesses and relevant targeted local advertising opportunities. As the advertising ecosystem evolves beyond traditional programmatic workflows, the industry is moving toward an agentic model, where interoperable agents can identify opportunities, generate creative, execute campaigns, and continuously optimize performance.
With x402, a small business can invoke a capability, pay a micro-fee, and receive an output instantly. At the same time, enterprises and autonomous systems can run the same workflow at scale, executing thousands of paid calls per day with minimal friction.
AdPrompt launches on Base’s Layer 2 infrastructure, enabling fast, low-cost settlement and programmable payments aligned with x402’s pay-per-call model. By pairing agentic marketing APIs with on-chain payment rails, AdPrompt can offer outcome-level capabilities that are easy to access, easy to automate, and efficient to scale, from one-off calls by small businesses to high-frequency usage by autonomous systems.
“Small businesses shouldn’t need an agency, or an ad ops team, to run effective marketing,” said Behkish Nassirzadeh, PhD, CTO of AdPrompt.ai. “The 2000s were about learning computers. The 2010s were about mastering platforms. The 2020s are about mastering AI, knowing how to communicate what you want, and turning it into real business results. With x402, AdPrompt makes high-quality marketing capabilities available as atomic building blocks, unlocked through fast, secure micro-payments. You can scan a brand, generate platform-ready creatives, and produce a campaign plan in minutes, then use those outputs immediately, or chain them into automated workflows.”
Built as a suite of specialized engines that interoperate, AdPrompt’s system is designed for composability: each API produces both a polished human-facing report and a structured JSON payload that other tools and agents can consume programmatically. This makes AdPrompt’s x402 resources useful not only for business owners but also for developers building agent-to-agent marketing workflows across the modern advertising stack.
