What is Arcade?
Arcade's AI video tool now works inside Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini via MCP.
Arcade's releases are almost all about AI video. The November release adds an Arcade MCP so users can create and edit videos from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other assistants, with credit costs shown in the chat. It also adds 60 native voices in 15 more languages and one-click variations of a single video. In October, AI video got its own home and users could pick the model behind each video.
What is Demand Gen Report?
Demand Gen Report tracks how AI is changing B2B budgets, fraud and brand recall.
Demand Gen Report's feed publishes under the B2BMX Insights name and remains trade journalism. This week's entries cover ChurnZero research on measuring AI in customer success, Influ2's contact-level intent account discovery, survey data on ad fraud taking a quarter of marketing budgets, and Skyword data showing only 26% of consumers recall brand names after AI-assisted research. None describes a Demand Gen Report product.

Arcade
6.3MARKETING
Arcade's AI video tool now works inside Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini via MCP.
◆ Current state
Arcade's releases are almost all about AI video. The November release adds an Arcade MCP so users can create and edit videos from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other assistants, with credit costs shown in the chat. It also adds 60 native voices in 15 more languages and one-click variations of a single video. In October, AI video got its own home and users could pick the model behind each video.
◆ Where it's heading
Arcade spent the autumn turning its editor into an AI video studio, with style references, curated scenes and model choice. It is now taking that studio into the assistants people already use, and charging per edit in credits. Localisation and variations push it toward producing many versions of one video for different audiences.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent-facing work, such as deeper MCP actions or usage-based pricing detail, since the MCP launch already exposes credit costs per edit.
Demand Gen Report
5.0MARKETING
Demand Gen Report tracks how AI is changing B2B budgets, fraud and brand recall.
◆ Current state
Demand Gen Report's feed publishes under the B2BMX Insights name and remains trade journalism. This week's entries cover ChurnZero research on measuring AI in customer success, Influ2's contact-level intent account discovery, survey data on ad fraud taking a quarter of marketing budgets, and Skyword data showing only 26% of consumers recall brand names after AI-assisted research. None describes a Demand Gen Report product.
◆ Where it's heading
Coverage keeps centring on AI's effect on B2B marketing: measurement gaps, fraud, and how brands show up in AI answers. Third-party vendor launches and survey briefs make up most of the feed.
◆ Prediction
Expect more survey-driven briefs on AI measurement and AI search visibility; the entries show no product activity from the publication itself.
