AAO for Members

What AgenticAdvertising.org members can do — sign-in, certification, working groups, perspectives, directory listings, and asking Addie for help.

AAO for Members

This page covers what an AAO member — someone with an active membership of any tier — can do on AgenticAdvertising.org and through Addie. For organization admins (people who manage their company’s seats and billing), see AAO for Org Admins. For the full list of Addie’s tools, see the Addie Tool Reference.

Sign in and link your account

• Sign in. Go to agenticadvertising.org and sign in with email or Google. New visitors get a free anonymous Addie session; signing in unlocks member tools.
• Link Slack. If you joined the AAO Slack workspace, ask Addie “link my account” in any DM and she’ll generate a personalized sign-in link. After signing in, your Slack identity is permanently linked.
• Lost your link? Ask Addie “send me my sign-in link” — she has a get_account_link tool that works in any channel.

Certification (AdCP Academy)

Tier	Price	What you get
Tier 1 — AdCP Basics	Free, no membership required	Three foundation modules, ~90 min
Tier 2 — AdCP Practitioner	Any active membership ($50+/yr)	Basics + one role-specific track + build project
Tier 3 — AdCP Specialist	Any active membership ($50+/yr)	Practitioner + a specialist capstone in one of five areas

Ask Addie:

• “Start module A1” — begins or resumes the relevant module in your current tier.
• “Where am I in certification?” — she’ll list completed modules and what’s next.
• “What’s the next step in my Practitioner track?” — track-aware progression.

Working groups, councils, and chapters

• Browse working groups. Ask “what working groups are active?” or visit agenticadvertising.org/working-groups.
• Join a working group. Tell Addie “I want to join the [name] working group” — Professional tier and above can join contributor-track WGs; Explorer tier has read-only access via the website.
• Express council interest. Councils require nomination; Addie can record your interest with express_council_interest.
• Find your local chapter. Ask “is there an AAO chapter in [region]?” — chapters are member-run and most accept newcomers without a separate join flow.

Perspectives (publishing on AAO)

Members can publish perspectives — short articles, op-eds, and reports — on agenticadvertising.org under Stories.

• Submit a draft. Ask Addie to “propose a perspective” with your title and content (or paste a Google Doc link — she’ll read it via read_google_doc).
• Editorial review. Submitted perspectives go to pending_review. AAO admins review and approve, request edits, or decline.
• Cover illustration. Members get monthly free illustration generation. Ask “generate a cover for my perspective” once it’s submitted.
• Edit after publishing. Use the edit button on the perspective page; if it’s missing, ask Addie to investigate.

Directory listing

• Get listed. Members on Professional tier and above get a directory listing on agenticadvertising.org/registry. Ask Addie “set up my directory listing” and she’ll walk through company name, description, offerings, contact, and visibility.
• Update your listing. Ask “update my directory listing” — Addie has update_company_listing.
• Add your logo. “Update my company logo to [URL]” — update_company_logo.
• Brand verification. If you publish at an owned domain, ask “verify my brand for [domain]” and Addie issues a DNS challenge via request_brand_domain_challenge.

Profile

• View / update profile. “Show my profile” / “update my profile” (get_my_profile, update_my_profile).
• Profile photo. Upload via the profile page on the website. If the upload control is missing, ask Addie to escalate.
• Member portrait. Members on Builder tier and above get an auto-generated graphic-novel portrait — ask “generate my portrait”.

What Addie can’t do for you

• Change your tier or process refunds — that’s an org-admin action; ask the team via “escalate to admin”.
• Promote someone to admin in your org — escalation only.
• Delete an account — escalation; admins handle this carefully.
• Invent a tool that doesn’t exist. If Addie says she has a tool that you can’t find on this page or the Addie Tool Reference, she’s probably wrong — push back and ask her to verify.
