SDK coverageSDKs across web, server, mobile, and native ecosystems.Public page reviewed emphasizes MCP and GitHub integration rather than broad SDK matrices.Use SDK breadth as a Genesis differentiator for app developers beyond agent-only flows.
MCP and agent workflowDedicated MCP tools plus short system-instruction templates.Public page includes an MCP server URL and prompt instruction guidance.Keep Genesis MCP setup as short as Kone's while adding richer publisher controls.
Ad deliverySponsored suggestions that are clearly labeled and policy-controlled.Public page describes contextual recommendations inserted naturally into agent responses.Require disclosure while preserving agent-native response quality.
Auction and matchingExpected-value auction with trust and policy scoring.Public page focuses on intent matching and advertiser-network scale claims.Use transparent auction logs and trust review as Genesis differentiation.
AnalyticsPublisher dashboards, advertiser reporting, export jobs, and payout views.Public page includes revenue calculator benchmarks and earnings examples.Show benchmark assumptions and real customer metrics separately.
Privacy and controlsNo cookies, hashed IDs, optional signals, and category controls.Public page reviewed emphasizes native recommendations; privacy details should be source-reviewed before comparison claims.Avoid implying Kone lacks controls unless a current policy source supports it.
Revenue modelsCPM, CPC, CPA, affiliate, and lead-gen support in a normalized auction.Public page states CPC and CPA monetization and benchmark examples.Build calculators that disclose assumptions and do not promise benchmark payouts.
