Braze is a customer engagement platform used by consumer brands to send personalised messages across email, push notifications, SMS, in-app messaging, and web at scale. Its AI features apply machine learning to optimise when and what to send to each user for maximum engagement and conversion.
Intelligent Timing uses ML to predict the optimal send time for each individual user based on their historical engagement patterns — sending a push notification at 9am to a user who typically opens notifications in the morning and at 7pm to one who engages in the evening. Across millions of users, this individual timing optimisation significantly improves open and conversion rates versus batch send times.
Intelligent Channel selection determines which communication channel is most likely to engage each specific user for each type of message — recommending email for users who respond to email and push for users who engage primarily through app notifications. Channel diversity in modern consumer engagement means different channels work for different user segments.
Sage AI is Braze's generative AI feature for copywriters and marketers — generating email subject lines, push notification copy, and SMS message variants for A/B testing. Rather than writing each variant manually, Sage AI produces multiple variants from a single brief.
Braze's Canvas tool orchestrates multi-step customer journeys with AI-guided branching — determining which path each user follows based on their behaviour and predicted engagement. For retail, gaming, and streaming companies managing large user bases, Canvas enables sophisticated engagement workflows at scale.
Braze AI runs as ml platform software built around text and data workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, ios, and android.
