Over the last several years, Mailchimp has incorporated AI and machine learning capabilities
into its platform to help marketers and small businesses market better and faster. Mailchimp
made strategic acquisitions to bring AI technology into its email marketing platform, starting
with Sawa in 2019 and Inspector 6 in 2020.
Mailchimp became part of Intuit’s AI-driven expert platform after the acquisition in 2021, and
now has access to even more sophisticated data and tools that help the email marketing
platform solve its customers’ biggest challenges with AI. Intuit has been driving AI innovation
to help its customers solve their most important problems, accelerating personalized AI at
scale for more than 100 million consumer and small business customers.
Mailchimp currently has 20+ AI and data science features in-app—such as Creative
Assistant, Content Optimizer, Send-Day and Send-Time Optimization, Predictive
Segmentation, and Product Recommendations —designed to help marketers and small
business owners save time, send more effective marketing campaigns, and get smarter with
their marketing decisions. In 2022 alone, Mailchimp generated more than 8 million data-
backed recommendations with our AI-powered features.**
“Marketers and small businesses are spending a lot of time thinking about how they can
apply AI without adding something new to their plates or relinquishing creative control,” said
Jon Fasoli, Chief Data and Product Officer at Mailchimp. “We see generative AI
fundamentally changing the landscape of creative work, and we’re here to help our
customers apply it to their day-to-day marketing in meaningful ways so that they get more
done and reach their goals faster. Email Content Generator and our AI-powered features can
help them do just that.”
More about Email Content Generator and Mailchimp’s AI Features
Mailchimp users can generate content with AI to design on-brand marketing content faster,
get copy ideas and inspiration, and test variants to deliver more personalized and engaging
content to their customers. With the help of Email Content Generator, marketers can take
content that GPT AI technology recommends for them and then customize that content to
create highly personalized email marketing campaigns tailored to their brand, tone, and
marketing intent, making email campaigns feel more authentic and relevant to their
customers.
When creating an email campaign in Mailchimp’s new email editor tool, our customers can
see three options of copy that match their industry, marketing intent, and tone of voice.
Mailchimp customers can give a natural language prompt like, “write an email about our new
product launch and offer 15% off orders today only,” and Email Content Generator will create
three options that are even more targeted to the goal of their email campaign. Users can
select an option generated for them that works best to drag and drop into their campaign,
customize, and send to help them reach their audience and sell more.
Mailchimp’s content generation and optimization tools don’t just serve up content—they also
break down why a campaign performs the way it did, with detailed insights and suggestions,
and share recommendations for how to improve those campaigns and content. Small
businesses and marketers can take advantage of Mailchimp’s data, which includes their
specific industry’s data, to benchmark their marketing efforts across their industry and find
the best day(s) and time(s) to send marketing campaigns to engage their customers.
