Taboola Launches Realize ID to Overcome Data Fragmentation and Drive Incremental Growth for Performance Marketers; Advertisers See 2.4x Uplift in Conversion Efficiency

HONG KONG, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Taboola (Nasdaq: TBLA) today announced the launch of Realize ID, a sophisticated unified mapping offering designed to help performance marketers capture and act on open-web intent as soon as it emerges. This identity offering has already driven up to 2.4x increase in conversion efficiency thanks to signal-enriched predicted intent models. 

Today's performance marketers contend with a fragmented and rapidly changing consumer journey that stretches across devices, channels and content touchpoints. A single purchase decision now runs across mail, news, search, price aggregators, and increasingly LLMs. US adults spend nearly 13 hours a day with media, spread across dozens of devices and platforms, and a buyer passes through several of them before deciding. Generative AI search has become a new, essential channel for consumers to connect with brands organically and through advertising, adding to the complexity as well. Data shows that 70% of consumers now involve generative AI search in shopping decisions.

Realize ID is a unified identity solution that allows advertisers to understand, reach and drive conversions for consumers that show intent, across a fragmented internet. It is a new offering that supports the Realize performance advertising platform, fueled by Taboola's unique access to data on consumer intent on the open web.

Realize ID transforms fragmented identifiers into a single, persistent view of high-intent prospects. It captures purchase intent while prospects are in active decision mode, the critical window after they've shown interest but before they've committed elsewhere. With this understanding of intent, advertisers can drive outcomes such as engagements, leads, purchases, site traffic and more.

Taboola sits on both sides of the transaction, publisher and advertiser, operating a true closed loop, capturing full-context data on every single visit in real time.

To illustrate, Realize ID helps advertisers understand the consumer journey as they read a finance article on a publisher site, then search for the best bank accounts, view an ad for a credit card, arrive on a landing page to open an account, and more.

Realize ID leverages Taboola's first-party data that captures the full context of the consumer journey, including:

• Media consumption signals: Content engagement, scroll depth, and time on site.
• Ad interactions: Ad clicks, video views, and specific search keywords.
• Buying behaviors: Conversion data and mid-funnel actions like starting a quote.

When combined, Realize ID understands billions of complete buyer journeys and uses advanced AI to connect media consumption and buying behaviors, predicting intent before it becomes obvious.

Brands and agencies continue to leverage the unique data advantage that Taboola and Realize offer.

• "Partnering with Taboola and using Realize has enhanced our ability to reach high-intent consumers at the right moment in their purchase journey. Their intent-driven technology helps us deliver more relevant advertising, improving campaign performance and supporting our growth objectives." Judit Miranda, Head of Digital Marketing, El Corte Inglés.
• "In today's market, trusted data is hard to come by, but Taboola and Realize bring decades of proven expertise to the table. Their insights allow us to meet consumers at critical intent moments during their buying journey with remarkable precision. We rely on their data to drive meaningful engagement and convert high-value prospects." Sascha Arndt, Head of Performance Marketing at Ergo.

• "The value of Taboola and the data behind Realize lies in its ability to capture genuine purchase intent, not just casual browsing. Leveraging their trusted insights enables us to engage motivated buyers at the precise moment they are comparing options. The result is better alignment with consumer needs and improved conversion rates." Sameer Jain, Head of E-commerce & D2C Business, Axis Max Life Insurance.

"Today, AI is transforming traditional search behavior and established channels are hitting efficiency ceilings, making driving incremental growth more difficult than ever. To scale today, performance marketers must capture consumers across trusted environments beyond search and social, where buyers actively research, compare, and form decisions across dozens of independent content touchpoints. Realize ID solves for this, using Taboola's unique data advantage, helping performance marketers capture and act on open web intent before it disappears," said Adam Singolda, CEO at Taboola.

The MoE Model Matches Cloud Models 10x Its Size in Everyday Cockpit Tasks

HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Banma Intelligence Group introduced AutoOmni 2.0-23B-A3B, an omni-modal on-device LLM, at the Apsara Conference. Built on a mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture, the model delivers routine-task performance comparable to that of 230B-parameter cloud models in intelligent cockpit scenarios. For complex tasks, it achieves 90% of the performance of similarly sized cloud models.

"Compatible with most mainstream high-performance automotive SoC platforms, our 23B on-device model supports stable concurrent execution of more than eight multitasking streams and accelerates large-model inference by five to six times," said Dr. Si Luo, chief technology officer of Banma Intelligence. He added that on-device models are opening a new interaction paradigm—a native intelligence era—for automobiles and other AI-powered devices.

Since its debut at the 2025 Apsara Conference, AutoOmni has been adopted by more than 60% of automakers integrating on-device AI into their products. This year, Banma Intelligence showcased an enhanced solution that combines the on-device model with a cloud-integrated agent architecture. The model seamlessly handled complex scenarios involving voice commands with ambiguous intent and cross-domain tasks, orchestrating multi-stop navigation, vehicle control, and infotainment operations with low latency and robust privacy safeguards.

The premium all-terrain vehicle FREELANDER 8—co-developed by Chery and Jaguar Land Rover—was also on display at Banma's booth as the world's first production vehicle to feature AutoOmni on Qualcomm's Snapdragon Cockpit Elite (SA8397P) platform. The booth also featured SAIC's MG Cyberster and BYD's DENZA Z9GT, the latter featuring a cloud-based agent solution that allows users to place food-delivery orders and book hotels via voice commands. These demonstrations drew executives and technology leaders from automakers including BMW and Volkswagen, as well as chipmakers such as Qualcomm and NVIDIA.
