NIKO AI 3.0 Is Here: Your AI Co-Pilot Got a Whole New Engine

propellerads-niko-ai-3

Fast answers. Long memory. 

Since NIKO landed in your account this spring, it has learned quite a few tricks. It can draft and edit campaigns, handle targeting, clone setups, estimate traffic and rates — across every major format.

Pretty much, it does the boring work so you don’t have to.

But we weren’t about to stop there. Not with AI moving this fast, and not when there was so much more NIKO could become.

So this time, we didn’t simply add another feature or two. We took everything NIKO already knew and rebuilt the engine underneath it, from the first line of code to the last.

The result? Faster answers, proper chat history, and steadier hands when it comes to real campaign work.

Meet NIKO AI 3.0

Enough with the introductions. Let’s see NIKO AI 3.0 in action.


TL;DR

What’s New for You

  • Multiple chats with saved history: keep separate conversations for different campaigns and return to them whenever you need. Previously, NIKO supported only one conversation.
  • Streaming responses: watch NIKO’s answer appear in real time. If your connection drops, the response resumes automatically.
  • Response ratings: use 👍 or 👎 to tell us whether an answer was helpful.
  • Automatic chat titles: NIKO names each conversation for you, making it easier to find later.
  • Clear action confirmations: before making any change to a campaign, NIKO shows you a confirmation card with all the relevant parameters. Nothing happens until you approve it.
  • Full Self-Serve Platform access: NIKO can work with the complete range of SSP features, rather than a limited set of tools.
  • Built-in Knowledge Base: ask questions about the platform and get answers directly in the chat.
  • MCP connector: connect your SSP account to external AI tools with a dedicated connector button.

What You Will Notice First

Here are the three things to know about your upgraded NIKO AI 3.0:

  1. NIKO now thinks out loud 

Ask a question, and NIKO AI starts answering right away, word by word – no more staring at a quiet screen while you wait for one big block of text.

  1. NIKO now remembers every conversation

You get separate chat sessions with history: one thread for your Push tests in LATAM, another for that Telegram Ads experiment, a third for a quick rate check. 

Come back tomorrow, reopen a session, and NIKO AI 3.0 picks up the context of that conversation. No more mixing every topic into one endless chat or explaining everything all over again.

  1. NIKO’s hands got steadier

 The new engine makes the practical work (creating a campaign, changing a rate, pulling your stats) more reliable and more precise. Fewer misfires, fewer “let me try that again” moments, more requests that simply land on the first attempt.

In short: faster answers, conversations that stay on track, and campaign work that lands right the first time.


Your Old Chats Are Safe

One thing to know before you dive in: conversations you had with the previous NIKO stay available in read-only mode, so you can always scroll back and copy anything you need. 

New conversations will start fresh in NIKO AI 3.0, but your old chats aren’t going anywhere. It’s a fresh start, rather than a memory wipe.

Anything that reads data runs on the spot. Anything that changes a campaign or spends budget waits for your go-ahead.

The rebuild changes how NIKO works, but everything NIKO already knows how to do comes with it:

  • Campaign work across formats: creating and editing Push, Onclick (Popunder), Telegram Ads, Interactive Ads, and Paid Social Traffic campaigns straight from the chat
  • Full targeting and scheduling: GEO down to city level, OS, device, browser, language, connection type, plus dayparting, all set in one conversation
  • NIKO AI 3.0 supports seven key workflows:
    • Campaign planning
    • Campaign reporting
    • Campaign creation
    • Campaign management
    • Targeting setup
    • Zone management
    • Creative management
  • Numbers on demand: rate recommendations (now running on a new, second-generation engine), traffic volume estimates for your budget, test budget suggestions
  • Your account at a glance: campaign stats, balance, and the full PropellerAds Knowledge Base behind every answer

If your team already lives in Claude or another AI assistant, remember that PropellerAds also ships an MCP connector that plugs your Self-Serve Platform account into the AI tools you use every day. NIKO AI 3.0 and the connector run on the same foundation, so both speak fluent PropellerAds.


NIKO Still Asks Before It Acts

NIKO AI can draft, recommend, and estimate, but every action involving your campaigns and budget requires your approval.

It will not launch, edit, or scale a campaign without your explicit confirmation. The engine may be faster, but the final decision is always yours.

Ilia Pasiuk, Self-Service platform product owner, said:

“We rebuilt NIKO because advertisers started treating it as a daily working tool, and a daily tool has to feel instant. So we focused on what advertisers experience every time they open the chat: speed, continuity, and reliable execution.”


How to Meet NIKO AI 3.0

Log in to your Self-Serve Platform account and start a chat: if the rollout has reached you, NIKO AI 3.0 greets you with its new sessions panel. We are rolling the update out gradually, so if you do not see it yet, it is on its way.
