How it sells itself

Bena makes it easy for brands to collaborate with content creators and run promotional campaigns using generative AI. With the help of an AI chatbot, content creators are guided through the campaign application process to improve conversion rates, answer questions, and minimize the amount of work needed from the brand.

One AI runs your whole shop: the listings and the marketing. Neta learns your brand and products, writes your product listings (titles, descriptions, images), and keeps your catalog synced across Shopify and your Facebook and Instagram shops. She builds a strategy and a calendar of on-brand and shopable posts, and publishes on schedule, promoting only what is in stock.

Key points
  • Utilize our AI generated content tools to brainstorm promotional content ideas.
  • Our SOP tools make it easy for brands to manage hundreds of creators at a time.
  • Instantly make your campaign visible to hundreds of thousands of creators.
  • Neta writes your product listings and syncs your catalog to your social shops
  • A content strategy and a full calendar of on-brand posts from your products
  • Shoppable posts tag real products, so you never promote what's out of stock
  • Add ad management, an AI persona, and AI chat that closes sales
