Yext Expands Agentic Capabilities

Yext has expanded its Scout agentic marketing platform to optimize more sources that artificial intelligence cites and also launched an early version of Corvo AI, its proactive agent purpose-built for small businesses.

"The surfaces where brands need to be discoverable keep multiplying, and the marketing landscape has never been more competitive, from the largest enterprises to the smallest local businesses," said Michael Walrath, chairman and CEO of Yext.

Yext is also continuing to advance Action Center, which helps companies manage and govern all Yext agents in one place. It now triggers and completes agentic actions surfaced by Scout across listings, reviews, social, and the Yext Knowledge Graph. New social actions include localizing brand posts and turning 5-star reviews into social content.

Corvo AI proactively texts business owners specific recommendations for improving local marketing so they can outrank the competition nearby. Corvo AI uses Yext's competitive intelligence and execution agents to optimize via a mobile-first, natural-language interface.

"Every brand is heading toward the same future: agents executing marketing at a scale no team could reach on its own," said Michael Walrath, chairman and CEO of Yext, in a statement. "That means treating complexity as an asset instead of a liability. The brands that win won't be the ones working from the simplest software. They'll be the ones who have a multiplayer agent harness where customers, partners, internal teams, and a growing roster of agents all work together from a shared context. As the surfaces they can act on keep expanding, so does the impact of every action. We look forward to showcasing our rapidly expanding capabilities at upcoming customer events."
