• Utilize generative AI to increase the productivity of content marketing and scale content production: With the help of new GenAI support, writers can more effectively summarize, enhance, and customize already-written content to meet the specific needs and requirements of various personas or touchpoints along the customer journey. They can accomplish this without having to learn how to write prompts or switch interfaces by using AI tools directly from the WYSIWYG editor.
• Promote automation and bring business users closer to data: Organizations can automate workflows and efficiently utilize data by connecting Sitefinity to over 1,000 essential third-party systems and applications via the new Sitefinity Integration Hub.
• Use AI-assisted CDP capabilities to build effective journeys and provide one-to-one personalization: Businesses can use unified customer data to target audiences and improve their messaging. An AI-driven chatbot has been added to the Sitefinity customer data platform (CDP) to facilitate quicker onboarding.
