Q2 2026 release highlights
With the latest platform updates, Kokai continues to make it easier for traders to apply AI, manage campaigns across channels, and move faster from insight to action. This release introduces new features that give traders more control over AI-driven performance, improve visibility across omnichannel campaigns, simplify everyday workflows, and make inventory adjustments easier.
Bring more precision to how AI supports your campaigns.
