Halo AI made a prominent return to the 1 Billion Followers Summit, unveiling a significant evolution of its agentic AI platform. The company first gained attention by winning the 1Billion Pitches competition in 2025 and securing $6 million in seed funding led by Raed Ventures and Shorooq Partners. Over the past year, Halo AI has converted early recognition into measurable growth and industry influence.
Transforming Brand-Creator Collaborations
In the last 12 months, Halo AI has established itself as a leading AI-powered platform for brand-creator collaboration. Enterprise teams can now scale their campaigns up to ten times without increasing operational burden. Its unique human-in-the-loop methodology combines agentic AI with strategic human oversight, allowing campaigns to maintain both scale and quality.
Platform Growth and Performance
A major platform update in September 2025 drove creator payouts up by 378% and increased the number of collaborations 2.7 times. In Q4 2025, sales jumped 118% quarter-on-quarter, reflecting better campaign results and higher retention. These figures underscore that Halo AI’s approach to agentic AI is delivering strong value to brands and creators alike.
Advanced Features and Analytics
The upgraded platform introduces advanced analytics that span brand safety scoring, audience authenticity checks, and real-time trend tracking. Central to this is the AI Creator Management Agent, a co-pilot that allows managers to oversee hundreds of campaigns simultaneously. Professionals retain control over creative and strategic decisions while AI streamlines execution and optimizes outcomes.
Human-Centric AI Philosophy
Halo AI emphasizes empowering teams rather than replacing them, a principle reinforced by its founders. Vito Strokov, Co-founder and CEO, stated that brands want AI that amplifies their teams’ abilities rather than replaces them. Rami Saad, Co-founder and Chief Business Officer, added that mastering human-AI collaboration will define the most valuable companies of the next decade.
Summit Presence and Engagement
At the Summit, co-founders Strokov and Saad shared lessons from scaling a startup in a rapidly evolving industry. The Halo AI booth attracted content creators and brand representatives, providing hands-on experiences with the platform’s latest features. The engagement highlighted the growing ecosystem and the platform’s appeal across both creative and corporate users.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Halo AI
Heading into 2026, Halo AI plans further feature rollouts, deeper enterprise integrations, and an expanding creator network across the MENA region and beyond. The company aims to enhance partnerships while providing brands with tools to manage large-scale campaigns effectively. From a winning pitch to powering thousands of collaborations, Halo AI is proving that AI can make human creativity unstoppable.
Halo AI’s journey over the past year illustrates the potential of agentic AI to transform influencer marketing at scale. By blending AI efficiency with human decision-making, the platform demonstrates measurable growth, creator empowerment, and brand value. As the company expands its platform and partnerships in 2026, it positions itself at the forefront of AI-driven marketing innovation.
