Content

Key information

  • Dotdigital AI runs against a model in Azure that's specific to Dotdigital. The model discards all information after the task you have chosen is complete.

  • Based on a fair usage policy, we ask that you use Dotdigital AI responsibly. Maximum 200 requests per account every 24 hours.

AI agents

Dotdigital AI includes agents that help you work more efficiently using conversational workflows. These agents operate directly within key areas of Marketing and help you make and refine changes as you work.

Private preview

These features are currently in Private preview (with a waitlist) and not available to all users. Complete the form to request access to the private preview.

Content Agent is built into EasyEditor and helps you create and refine campaign content through chat. It can generate and rewrite copy, adjust tone and styling, and suggest personalisation or images using your brand voice. You can review and apply changes to specific blocks, combining agent-driven suggestions with manual editing.

Segment Agent lets you build and refine segments using natural language instead of manual rule building. You can create new segments, update existing ones, and view summaries directly in the segments area. It uses your available data fields and current segment as context, and supports iterative editing by applying changes based on your prompts.

Teach Dotdigital AI your brand's tone, style, and writing rules so every piece of AI-generated content sounds like you. Once set up, Dotdigital AI uses your brand voice profile across all its writing tools, giving you on-brand first drafts that need less editing.

    If you find a perfect customer on the single customer view, you can generate a segment based on their profile to collect more contacts like them.


Optimised communications

  • Automated reputation manager for email sender reputation
    Sender reputation is calculated from the quality of data you upload and the engagement you get from your contacts for your campaigns. The better this data is, and the greater your campaigns perform, the higher your sender reputation will be.

  • Watchdog data importer
    The Data Watchdog is a powerful and intelligent analysis tool unique to Dotdigital Marketing, protecting our sender reputation and your delivery rates. No email address makes it into the system without being checked by the Data Watchdog first. Using a complex set of algorithms and checks, the Data Watchdog predicts, detects and prevents email abuse.

  • Non-human interaction (NHI) filtering for email
    Your contacts may use security products to keep their inboxes secure, and these security products can open your email campaigns and interact with the links they contain. To help improve the accuracy of your reports, you can make your account filter out any activity from known non-humans.
