Adobe Journey Optimizer Features

AI decisioning

AI decisioning ensures that you deliver the right experiences to the right customers in just the right moments, helping you boost engagement and achieve your marketing goals. AI decisioning also lets you run experiments and simulations to continuously improve customer engagement and retention.

Real-time decisioning

Enhance your journeys and campaigns with a decision engine that analyses real-time profile and contextual data to deliver the next-best content, offer or experience, for each customer throughout their journey.

AI ranking. Rank options for each customer and build AI formulas based on the likelihood of that customer engaging — such as open, click, download, subscribe. The model learns over time, boosting customer engagement and retention rates.
Eligibility constraints. Set eligibility rules to control which decisions are surfaced and when. Additional context — such as customer profile attributes, events and other data — can be used to further refine offer delivery.
Frequency capping. Prevent fatigue by capping how often customers receive offers. Frequency can be limited by profile and placement and alternative offers can be configured for ineligible customers.
AI model insights. Increase your understanding of AI model behaviour, traffic allocation over time and performance with conversion or revenue lift outcomes and useful training data details.
