Zeta announced today that it will utilize OpenAI models to support Athena, Zeta's artificial intelligence (AI) agent, which integrates with its Zeta Marketing Platform. This integration provides marketing professionals with voice-activated answers and an adaptive interface.
Lauding the deal with OpenAI, Zeta Global CEO and co-founder David A. Steinberg, stated, "We've formed many partnerships throughout Zeta's history, but none will be more instrumental than the one we are embarking on with OpenAI."
In addition to its collaboration with OpenAI, Zeta announced that Athena's first two agentic applications, Insights and Advisor, have entered the beta phase of development. The company plans to launch Athena to all customers by the end of the first quarter of 2026.

Although OpenAI is a powerhouse in the burgeoning field of generative AI, savvy investors recognize that there's much more to a sound investment than a company deciding to partner with an industry leader.
