AI takes customer communication to a new level
The technological opportunities of artificial intelligence are helping companies to improve design options for their communications content. For the first time, it is possible for companies to communicate on a large scale as well as a personal level with their customers. A key role here is played by the ability of AI solutions to automatically recognize, process, and respond to text content, for example in the form of automatically generated content.
AI solutions open up the possibility of compiling customer statements from different sources - such as emails, service center calls, website visits, comments on rating portals, social media channels or forums - and deriving a holistic picture of individual interests.
Based on this collected information, companies can create suitable and personalized communication content and offers. Thanks to AI, there are no limits to the degree of individualization: Fed with the right data, the system can automatically create Paris travel tips specifically for jazz lovers to prepare for their vacation - individually and highly personally tailored to the customer.
