Featured keynote · mDOS: directing the autonomous marketing department
THE INDUSTRY LANDSCAPE
The traditional marketing model has hit a cost and execution ceiling.
Prompt engineering was only step one. Asking busy staff to write prompts, copy outputs between tools and edit raw text creates tool fatigue and bottlenecks.
Too many tools, scattered data
Paying for 5 or 6 separate software logins, where customer data stays trapped in separate silos.
Execution bottlenecks
Internal teams lose much of their week to manual formatting, graphic creation and repetitive assembly.
Usage fee uncertainty
Enterprise software vendors penalise business growth with unpredictable, per-token API surcharges.
The outcome
Progressive marketing leaders aren’t cutting back on marketing. They’re removing manual overhead so their working media budget goes significantly further across every channel.
THE PILOT PACKAGE
Everything your team needs, for six months.
The pilot gives you everything you need to build AI-directed marketing into your business over 6 months, with no surprise usage charges; optional top-ups only if you need more.
The full mDOS system
One system for CRM, email, funnels and analytics, so your customer records are never scattered.
The 19-agent AI workforce
Specialised AI agents for research, design, copy and tracking, inside your brand guardrails. They work around the clock once you switch them on, and nothing goes out without your approval.
AI use with no surprise surcharges
AI processing and API costs are covered under the standard Fair Use allocation, and there’s never a surprise surcharge. If you need more, you can request a Top-Up Module.
Real experts coaching your team
1-on-1 training from Mr Digital experts, turning your existing staff into high-leverage AI managers.
Your guardrails and brand, built in
We load your exact brand voice, guidelines and quality-control vetoes into mDOS before anything goes live.
A direct line to your experts
A team chat room with your Mr Digital experts, so questions get answered between coaching sessions.
MARKETING EXPERTS AND HUMAN LEADERSHIP

DATA PRIVACY AND QUALITY CONTROL
You stay in charge of what the AI agents do.
By default, nothing customer-facing publishes without human approval. Every agent works inside strict, custom brand guardrails.
Autopilot
Reporting, data tagging and routine performance tracking run automatically.
Approval required
Every email sequence, landing page and outreach campaign waits in one approval queue for a 1-click human sign-off.
Manual control
By default, ad spend allocation, pricing and regulated legal claims stay human-driven.
The quality control veto
AI agents cross-examine each other’s work. If a brand violation is flagged, the asset is automatically vetoed and revised before it ever reaches your review queue.
Checked against your records
Times, prices and offers in every draft are checked against your own records before you see it.
A full audit trail
Approvals and changes are written to an audit log, so you can see who did what and when.
