AI for audiences
Zetaās AI works with the Zeta Data Cloud to extract critical consumer insights and buildĀ highly-targeted, custom audiences from 2.4B unique identities and 2,500+ real-time signals.Ā Some of the more critical capabilities of Zetaās AI for audiences include:

Two of the above capabilities most valued by marketers are customer lookalike modeling and churn prediction. Hereās a snapshot of how they work…
Customer lookalike modeling
Zetaās AI supports marketers by suggesting audience segmentations based on specific, high-performing seed audiences (e.g. high-value customers). It uses unsupervised machine learning to identify the dominant traits within that seed population, before building new audiences of lookalike customers. Zeta clients can activate these audiences in real-time, engaging new, high-value customers, or existing customers ripe for an upsell. Itās a capability thatās best used for new product launches, retention behavior analysis, and improving conversion rates (in-app or in-browser).
Churn prediction
Zetaās Identity Graph monitors behavioral and transactional signals so marketers can identify which customers are most likely to churn. Using these signals, Zetaās AI proactively engagesĀ consumers through existing campaigns to deter them from churning and increase retention.
AI for experiences
Zetaās AI for experiences allows brands to deliver the 1:1 personalization consumers demand through sequential, real-time messaging. The result? Brands cultivate an unbeatable customer experience that strengthens engagement across all channels. Some of the more critical capabilities of Zetaās AI for experiences include:

- Offer/promo/price sensitivity
Two of the above capabilities most valued by marketers are product advice and hyper-local targeting. Hereās a snapshot of how they work…
Product recommendations
Zetaās AI determines the optimal product selection for each customer based on a range of signals. Marketers can leverage this capability to deliver an enhanced customer experience through website personalization or cross-channel personalization in messaging (ideal for retailers, travel brands, auto manufacturers, and more).
Hyper-local targeting
By analyzing transactional and geolocation signals, AI for experiences can automatically trigger personalized messaging enriched with localized offerings (e.g., exclusive promotions, store-specific savings, etc.) across channels.
AI for insights
One of the core differentiators of Zetaās AI is its ability to understand consumer interests at scale. By gleaning live, actionable insights from channel performance and continuously updated customer profiles, brands can identify opportunities and ensure media isnāt wasted. Some of the more critical capabilities of Zetaās AI for insights include:
- Automatic AB and multivariate testing
- Deterministic attribution
- Marketing impact and ROI
- Advanced custom model insights

Two of the above capabilities most valued by marketers are natural language processing and hyper-local targeting. Hereās a snapshot of how they work…
Natural language processing
Zetaās AI for insights mines the Zeta Data Cloudās more than 2.4B unique identities and 2,500+ real-time signals to distill consumerās real-time interests at scale. It then uses this interest-related data to help marketers make more informed audience and channel selections, as well as deliver more personalized content.
Deterministic attribution
This capability helps marketers spend budget more effectively by avoiding those consumers who would convert without any exposure to paid advertising. In other words, it allows marketers to automatically zero-in on those shoppers that wonāt convert without exposure to paid advertising to create incremental lift.Ā
