The Opportunity for Generative AI in Digital Commerce
Over the past decade, we’ve witnessed artificial intelligence (AI) steadily improve at doing things we once thought only humans could do. And we’ve imagined a futuristic world with AI that’s still years away. Or so we thought.
ChatGPT burst onto the scene in early 2023, demonstrating that the future is already here. Suddenly, AI is responding to difficult questions with equally complex answers that sound like a human wrote them. And because ChatGPT is available for anyone to use, people can experience firsthand how well it holds a natural-sounding conversation. It surprised and delighted and sparked our imaginations yet again. It’s also raised questions about what it means for the future of work.
The Generative Case for Customers
For customers, generative AI raises the expectation for both personalization and product discovery.
For years digital professionals have sought to personalize the customer experience because it creates larger baskets that convert better. Generative AI presents the possibility that every text element—even every image—of your digital experiences is tailored to your shopper. These dynamic experiences delight customers and increase shopper loyalty.
Generative AI is also set to redefine how customers shop by replacing site search with a conversation. By swapping out search terms for natural language AI, backed by data stored in Data Cloud, generative AI guides customers to products they are likely to enjoy rather than sorting through a jumble of search results.
The Generative Case for Merchants
For merchants, generative AI also presents several exciting opportunities for automation and insight.
On the automation side, generative AI is uniquely suited to find and help repair data inconsistencies. This is a massive help to anyone maintaining an extensive product catalog or rapidly trying several versions of a promotion.
For insight, generative AI is adept at identifying audiences or tactics to help you reach goals. For instance, companies use generative AI to identify target audiences for a promotion and generate personalized messages for each prospect.
