Combining the power of Sirius AI™ and Architect

Sirius AI™ will help streamline journey orchestration in Architect by eliminating manual efforts and guesswork. This powerful combination enables rapid segment creation, seamless journey orchestration, and automatic copy generation to help marketers achieve 60% higher productivity and efficiency.

Architect powered by Sirius AI™ positions itself as the go-to omnichannel journey orchestration solution for brands seeking substantial growth and revenue in the dynamic landscape of modern marketing. 

Here are 6 ways marketers can combine these tools to achieve greater efficiency, productivity, and performance:

1. Craft journeys in no time with Smart Journey Creator

Sirius AI™ within Architect enables marketers to create seamless, personalized customer journeys across multiple channels in a few quick clicks. Marketers only need to outline their use case and expected outcome with a couple of prompts, then wait for Sirius AI™  to auto-generate the cross-channel customer journey optimized to achieve the necessary goals. 

The time required to create these journeys has been reduced to seconds and just a single click, with AI negating the need for manual guesswork. The technology learns from interactions and prompts from day one to continuously optimize and improve the recommendations and ensure the fastest time to launch cross-channel journeys.

2. Discover profitable segments 30X faster with Smart Segment Creator

By leveraging Insider’s AI suite and unified CDP, Sirius AI™ discovers the ideal target audience with accuracy, meaning marketers no longer have to waste time finding the right segments for campaigns manually. Marketers just need to input their use case and expected outcome, then let Sirius AI™ create ready-to-use segments for those business goals. This ensures marketers can tailor their strategies precisely, reaching the right audience with the right messages.

3. Optimize your channel mix with Next Best Channel

Different people prefer different channels. Understanding these user preferences before engaging is essential for businesses to reach their customers as effectively as possible.

Sirius AI™ optimizes channel selection by analyzing customers’ channel preferences with Next Best Channel. Next Best Channel decides on the best channel option for each individual user. It leads them to the specified channel, with ‘Best’ referring to the highest possibility of engagement among the specified channels. This ensures that messages are delivered to the right customers at the right time on their preferred channels.

4. Build campaign content in seconds with Content Generator

With Sirius AI™, you can say goodbye to writer’s block. The technology generates copy automatically, helping marketers create personalized and engaging content across Web Push, App Push, Email, SMS, and WhatsApp in seconds, with no manual effort.

Marketers just need to input their use case, the specific industry vertical, and the expected outcome, then let Sirius AI™ create the message copies customized for the particular campaign strategy and the industry vertical type. Messages are automatically customized according to the channel for which they are created.

5. Ideal Time Selection with Send Time Optimization

Just like channel preferences, each user has a specific time of the day and week when they are more socially active and likely to react to messages, with times often varying from channel to channel, too. 

Sirius AI™ optimizes the timing of the messages businesses wish to send by leveraging Send Time Optimization. This feature ensures that messages are delivered at the most effective times to engage users more effectively and gain their attention when they are most likely to interact with the messages. This enhances customer engagement and overall campaign performance, driving customers closer to conversion.

6. Continuous Optimization with A/B Winner Auto-Selection

A/B Split Testing allows marketers to branch the flow of their journeys to compare the performance of two or more path variations. They can test the use of different channels, subject lines, in-body content, and more by randomly allocating defined audience percentages on each path. Depending on the specific business goal—increasing engagement rates, conversion rates, or revenues—they can identify the path variation that performs best and optimize it further to keep hitting those business goals.

With A/B Winner Auo-Selection, marketers no longer have to track the A/B split test results manually. Powered by Sirius AI™, this feature is aimed at continuous optimization by automatically selecting the A/B winners, helping marketers make edits to the journeys faster and on the go. This iterative improvement process ensures that customer journeys evolve and remain at the forefront of delivering exceptional experiences.
