Refuel Agency specializes in high-impact campaigns for niche communities, including U.S. military personnel and Hispanic audiences. As demand for precision targeting grew, generic AI models fell short. That’s when Refuel partnered with Wrench.ai to build custom, domain-specific AI agents that could drive personalization, automation, and insight—at scale.
The Challenge
Refuel Agency supports Fortune 500 clients with campaigns that require cultural fluency, audience nuance, and speed. Off-the-shelf generative AI like GPT offered speed but lacked precision—and often introduced inaccuracies that could undermine credibility.
Refuel needed a smarter, safer solution that could:
Integrate proprietary research data
Personalize interactions by audience
Eliminate generic responses and AI “hallucinations”
Automate workflows and improve decision-making
The Solution
Wrench.ai worked with Refuel to build two tailored AI agents:
Gunnar — trained to support campaigns targeting U.S. military audiences
Gabriela — focused on Hispanic market outreach
Both AI agents were built on Refuel’s proprietary Military Explorer™ and Hispanic Explorer™ datasets, allowing them to provide campaign-ready insights grounded in real audience behavior—not generic internet data.
These AI agents could:
Deliver real-time answers during live client calls
Automate market research and creative recommendations
Streamline campaign strategy and audience segmentation
Improve messaging with audience-specific lead scoring
“It’s not just about getting fast answers—it’s about accessing campaigns rooted in real data,” said Tim LeCroix, VP of Analytics at Refuel.
The Results
Faster turnaround times and reduced production bottlenecks
Real-time AI insights delivered live in client meetings
Improved campaign personalization and mid-flight optimizations
Increased engagement rates with audience-specific messaging
Custom AI agents that are now central to Refuel’s campaign playbook
“Gunnar and Gabriela didn’t just help us scale—they changed the way we go to market.”
