    • Maximise Conversions

  • These use machine learning to adjust bids in real time based on user intent, location, device, and more.

It’ll tell you when to send, what kind of message to send, and even test multiple versions automatically to boost performance. Braze excels at creating personalised, automated customer journeys that don’t feel robotic. If your marketing campaigns feel flat or too generic, this tool adds that extra layer of intelligence to make messages feel timely, relevant, and surprisingly human.
