With a wealth of knowledge at our fingertips and the advent of AI-powered tools, marketers can inspire creativity with speed and precision. The latest AI features from Braze reflect this paradigm shift, with recent research indicating that 79% of marketers recognise AI’s potential to ignite innovation. As we leverage AI to simplify tasks and bridge the gap between aspiration and reality, customer engagement is being reshaped in profound ways. From streamlining processes to inspiring innovation, Sage AI by Braze empowers marketers to optimise customer journeys and craft unforgettable cross-channel experiences that resonate deeply with audiences and accelerate the customer’s next best action.
In addition to driving conversions and boosting brand equity, Braze helps brands forge authentic connections, build trust and drive reciprocal value with each interaction. In this landscape, Sage AI by Braze is a trusted partner for marketers, offering tailored recommendations, sophisticated personalisation, effective content generation, and the ability to drive high-value actions at scale.
Pam Shih, team lead CRM at KoRo Handels GmbH, said: “The AI Item Recommendations feature has been instrumental in driving a remarkable 3X increase in our purchase rates.
“By intelligently suggesting tailored products from the Braze catalog during onboarding sessions, it not only reveals invaluable insights into new user behaviors, but also empowers us to deliver highly personalised recommendations from our extensive catalog of over 1,000 products.”
New features added to Sage AI by Braze include:
Enhance Relevant Experiences and Increase Purchase Rates with Personalised Recommendations: Expanded AI Item Recommendations capabilities allows brands to create additional recommendation models, with more frequent item updates. This helps deliver personalised item suggestions such as products, services, experiences, and offers, tailored to each individual’s preferences. By leveraging AI to match customers with the items most likely to resonate with them, brands can create more meaningful experiences, build stronger connections, boost brand equity, and drive greater conversions and revenue growth. AI Item Recommendations seamlessly integrate into campaigns on any Braze channel and eliminate the need for complex setups, technical resources, or additional integrations.
Personalise Every Touchpoint and Maximise Revenue with Personalised Paths: Personalised Paths, a new feature that marketers can use in Braze Canvas, to scale sophisticated personalisation by seamlessly matching each customer with the most relevant message, copy, creative, channel, and offer. Personalised Paths feature experiments, automates, and shares the message variant each individual is more likely to prefer at any step in the journey, driving deeper engagement and creating more personalised and creative experiences for each customer.
Strengthen Brand Equity and Improve Time to Value with Tone Control: Tone Control generative functionality, powered by OpenAI GPT-4 Turbo, allows marketers to dictate AI-generated copy tones directly within the AI Copywriting Assistant. This feature inspires content creation, fosters creativity, and ensures authentic customer experiences that can be generated quickly and inserted on any channel. Combined with testing and optimisation, brands can compare tones, and swiftly share resonant messages.
Addressing Email Metric Reliability with Estimated Real Open Rate: Estimated Real Open Rate addresses Apple’s Mail Privacy Protection (MPP) challenges, offering marketers reliable insights. Braze introduces a new metric in its Email Campaign Performance analytics, utilising advanced analytical modeling for accurate email open rates, guiding effective insights and fostering creative experiences.
Kevin Wang, chief product officer of Braze, said: “The magic of Braze lies in our ability to fuel marketers’ efficiency and creativity in order to power relevant and memorable experiences that drive business outcomes. AI simply supercharges this ability. Already we are seeing marketers generate uniquely personalised moments with a speed and ease that wouldn’t be possible without modern AI capabilities.

These are big steps towards helping marketers realise the full potential of AI.”
