If you’re planning a mobile in-game player experience journey or ad monetization in 2026, you’re dealing with players who expect ads to be a fair trade, not a nuisance, quick to understand, and perfectly timed to their play sessions. Prado’s proprietary SDK is built exactly for that: it lets publishers plug the SDK directly into their game loop, using contextual AI to understand what kind of moment the player is in- level win, pause, early funnel, late-night grind and then call the right format: rewarded, interactive, or light-touch. That’s how we help you line up with trends like value-exchange, playables, snackable sessions, safer experiences, and hybrid monetization without rewriting your game.

What sets Prado apart is how our contextual AI works inside this SDK layer. Instead of relying on player profiles or IDs, it reads signals from the game environment (genre, screen context, user experience stage, historical attention patterns) and classifies ad creative for suitability and intent. The SDK then matches the two in real time and feeds back attention, completion, and eCPM against modern in-game standards. The result: in-game ads that respect player mood and privacy, keep publishers in control of experience, and give brands clearer proof that their message landed in the right moment and not just the right audience segment.
