Your Ad Orbit data, in Ad Orbit and in the AI tools your team already uses.
Astro is the AI layer built into Ad Orbit, the contract-to-cash platform for media publishers. It works in two places: as an AI assistant inside Ad Orbit, and through the Ad Orbit MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini Enterprise, and Microsoft Copilot Studio.
It’s built for ad sales reps, sales leaders, and finance and production teams who want answers from their real customer, order, and invoice data without building a report.

Astro inside Ad Orbit
- Chat with your data: Ask Astro to find a contact, log a call, or create an opportunity in plain language. It confirms the details before saving anything.
- Answers without reports: Ask questions like “Which advertisers spent less this year than last?” and refine the results by adding filters or columns, no SQL required.
- Astro Insights: Get a quick read on any advertiser’s sales trends, order history, and recent news from the company record.
- Faster follow-up: Draft emails and mail merge templates, and get AI transcripts and summaries of calls recorded through Twilio.
- On the go: Use Astro in the Ad Orbit mobile app with the same chat experience.
Astro in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot
- Bring your own AI: Connect the Ad Orbit MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini Enterprise, or Microsoft Copilot Studio as a custom connector.
- Work flows back to Ad Orbit: Calls, notes, and to-dos logged in your AI tool are saved to Ad Orbit, where the rest of the team can see them.
- Nothing to host: The MCP server runs in the cloud and is managed by Aysling, so there’s no infrastructure to set up.
- Prompt playbooks: Ready-made prompts for sales, finance, and production teams help people get value on day one.
Security and permissions
Every user signs in with their own Ad Orbit account, using OAuth 2.0. Astro follows the same permissions each person already has in Ad Orbit, so a rep who can’t see an account in Ad Orbit can’t see it through Astro or an AI tool either. Each person’s Astro chats are private to them.
Requirements
- For MCP: a paid plan of Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini Enterprise, or Microsoft Copilot Studio that supports custom connectors.
- An Ad Orbit administrator to create the OAuth app that each AI tool connects through.
How setup works
- An Ad Orbit administrator creates an OAuth app for your AI tool in Ad Orbit’s settings.
- Add Ad Orbit as a custom connector in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini Enterprise, or Copilot Studio.
- Each user signs in with their Ad Orbit account and authorizes the connection.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI tools work with the Ad Orbit MCP?
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini Enterprise, and Microsoft Copilot Studio. Because MCP is an open standard, other AI tools that support custom MCP connectors can connect too.
Can Astro see data a user isn’t allowed to see?
No. Each user signs in with their own Ad Orbit account, and Astro follows the same permissions they have in Ad Orbit.
Can an AI tool update records in Ad Orbit?
Yes. Through the MCP, an AI tool can create and update contacts and companies and log calls, notes, appointments, and to-dos, so the work stays in Ad Orbit.
