In our discussions with more than 20 company leaders, we learned that companies’ journeys to a successful gen AI strategy for marketing often include three key decisions: 1) whether to use gen AI or traditional analytical AI; 2) what, if anything, must be added to a gen AI model to generate the desired output, and 3) what level of human augmentation, such as prompts and output review, is necessary. Conversely, when these risks are high, such as if gen AI were used to create legally binding promotions or offers, firms may choose substantial levels of review and editing by a human agent, thereby augmenting the output prior to delivery to the final end user. Examples may include gen AI applications that advise in-store product locations, customer service chatbots with proprietary content about products and services, or internal marketing knowledge-management systems.

[211] The Future of Personalization Is Here: The Trends to Look Out ... - Shopify In an interview with Grocery Dive, chief strategy officer Kai Selterman explained how personalizing product recommendations to the customer helps the brand save time and improve the overall shopping experience. Brands can also use mobile app notifications to personalize the shopping experience and make it more convenient for customers. If you can show customers that their personal data helps you provide a seamless experience, they’ll be more likely to consider engaging with your brand. Including too much personal data in customized communication can make consumers feel stalked by brands, and can also strip marketing and shopping experiences of their diversity, leading to a homogenous experience. Personalized interactions also generate more customer data that brands can use to develop even more targeted experiences.
