What does a 20-year affiliate marketing veteran actually do differently?
We found out in our latest Champions of Performance Marketing episode with kling founder of AffLift
The part that surprised us most:
Luke built an AI assistant called Jeff that runs on Claude Opus and lives on Telegram. Jeff checks his campaign stats every 15 minutes, flags anything above 30% ROI, pauses underperformers, and even reads forum sentiment on affLIFT to flag replies that need Luke's attention.
Luke's insight on why tracking still matters more than ever:
"You're buying data and segmenting out the bad stuff. That's the whole thing. The only way you get profitable is by having the data that creates the profitable campaign."
This is exactly why we build CPV One - so the data is clean, accurate, and connected to every traffic source you run. The AI can only optimize what the tracker can see.

Have you started connecting AI tools to your tracking data? Would love to hear what workflows people are building.
