										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Phrase launches AI Translation Agent, real-time collaboration in Phrase Studio, and smarter integrations to speed global content workflows.</h2>
<p><a href="https://phrase.com/?" target="_blank" rel="external nofollow noopener">Phrase</a>, the global leader in AI-powered language technology, today announced <a href="https://phrase.com/phrase-launch-week-september-2025/?" target="_blank" rel="external nofollow noopener">a new wave of product innovations</a> designed to help enterprises work smarter, faster, and more effectively across global markets. The release introduces a new AI Translation Agent, AI-led translation, and real-time collaboration in Phrase Studio, as well as enhanced integrations that provide teams with increased speed, control, and efficiency in managing multilingual content workflows.</p>
<h3>AI That Works Instantly</h3>
<p>The new AI Translation Agent makes advanced generative AI accessible by combining translation and optimization in a single step. It enables businesses to experience high-quality AI translation immediately, without the need for a complex setup. The Agent delivers fluent, consistent output that often eliminates the need for human review, enabling teams to scale faster and reduce time and costs while maintaining high translation quality. This frees up linguists to focus on higher-value tasks, accelerates global delivery, and helps enterprises achieve greater efficiency across their content operations.</p>
<h3>Advanced AI and Real-time Collaboration in Phrase Studio</h3>
<p>With this release Phrase Language AI is now available directly in Phrase Studio, allowing teams to combine advanced neural and LLM-powered engines with their own terminology, assets, and brand tone of voice in a single environment. This ensures consistency across all content types, including video, documents, and digital channels, while reducing manual edits and keeping every market aligned.</p>
<p>Phrase Studio has also been turned into a collaborative workspace. Teams can now collaborate in real-time on the same project, whether adapting video content, adding subtitles, or producing voiceovers, for smoother teamwork and faster turnaround.</p>
<p>By integrating collaboration and AI into a single workflow, Phrase enables enterprises to manage multimedia content at scale with greater speed, precision, and confidence.</p>
<h3>Smarter Workflows and Integration</h3>
<p>Beyond new levels of collaboration and AI agents, this release also introduces enhancements that improve accuracy, visibility, and context across enterprise content workflows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Live Figma Previews: Real-time translation of Figma previews directly in the CAT editor reduces design bottlenecks and shortens review cycles.</li>
<li>Smarter Job Sync: Enhanced cross-platform coordination simplifies project management. Smarter job tracking and duplicate prevention keep every project accurate, visible, and under control.</li>
<li>Custom Fields in Term Bases: Richer context is preserved for linguists, reducing errors and removing workarounds.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Raising the Standard for Enterprise Content</h3>
<p>“With this release, we are delivering more than new innovation. It reflects our continued commitment to reshaping how enterprises create and deliver global content,” said Georg Ell, CEO at Phrase. “By combining AI, real-time collaboration, and workflow integration, we are equipping teams with technology that multiplies efficiency and impact across their entire global content operations.”</p>
<p>This latest innovation builds on Phrase’s recent recognition as a Leader in the inaugural <a href="https://phrase.com/news/phrase-named-a-leader-by-forrester/?" target="_blank" rel="external nofollow noopener">Forrester Wave<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> for the language technology industry</a>, an independent analysis that reinforces its role as a trusted partner for enterprises navigating the complexities of global content delivery.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Blazeo Voice AI blends real-time conversational AI with live agents, delivering instant, empathetic, and scalable customer interactions across industries.</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.blazeo.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>Blazeo Inc.</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a leader in omnichannel lead engagement, announced the launch of </span><a href="https://www.blazeo.com/voice-ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>Blazeo Voice AI</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a breakthrough hybrid call center solution that merges advanced conversational AI with live human agents. Designed for businesses where speed and trust are critical, Blazeo Voice AI sets a new standard by delivering instant responsiveness and scalability, while still preserving human empathy for complex or sensitive conversations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blazeo Voice AI handles the majority of inbound and outbound calls using real-time, natural-sounding AI automation. The system can answer inquiries, qualify leads, schedule appointments, and capture customer information around the clock. When conversations require nuance, legal sensitivity, or emotional intelligence, calls are seamlessly escalated to Blazeo&#8217;s live agents, who continue the interaction with full context of the conversation to provide judgment, reassurance, and personal care.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;AI-only systems fall short when nuance matters, and human-only centers can&#8217;t match the speed and scalability businesses demand. Blazeo Voice AI creates a third way—automation first, with a human layer of intelligence and empathy when needed.&#8221; said </span><a href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4520733-1&amp;h=2973759028&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blazeo.com%2Fabout%2F&amp;a=Ashhad+Syed%2C+CEO+of+Blazeo" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>Ashhad Syed, CEO of Blazeo</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>

<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Built on 15+ Years of Expertise</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unlike many new entrants in the AI space, Blazeo&#8217;s platform is built on </span><b>over 15 years of real-world customer interactions</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> across industries such as </span><b>legal, healthcare, elective medicine, and home services</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. This foundation provides Blazeo Voice AI with unmatched accuracy, domain awareness, and the ability to handle conversations that go beyond generic scripts.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With deep vertical expertise, Blazeo has trained its AI to understand the nuances of legal intake, the urgency of home service emergencies, and the sensitivity of medical inquiries—giving businesses confidence that their most important customer conversations are handled correctly the first time.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Third Way for Customer Engagement</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Traditional call centers rely solely on human agents, which means long wait times during high call traffic periods, high costs, staffing challenges and service ramp-up delays. On the other end of the spectrum, AI-only voice bots can leave customers frustrated when they encounter complex needs or emotionally charged situations. Blazeo Voice AI </span><a href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4520733-1&amp;h=2389640712&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blazeo.com%2Fblog%2Fblazeo-hybrid-ai-human-support-2025%2F&amp;a=bridges+this+gap" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>bridges this gap</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, positioning itself as the industry&#8217;s first practical hybrid model:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Faster than human-only centers:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> AI answers calls instantly, without hold times, reducing dropped calls and abandoned leads.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Smarter than AI-only systems:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> When stakes are high, human agents step in with empathy, legal knowledge, or advanced troubleshooting.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Scalable and cost-effective:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Businesses get the best of both worlds when it&#8217;s necessary, improving customer interactions while realizing significant cost savings.</span></li>

<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Built for High-Value Industries</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blazeo Voice AI is particularly impactful for industries where customer experience and lead capture directly affect revenue:</span></p>

<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4520733-1&amp;h=4140289824&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blazeo.com%2Fhome-services%2F&amp;a=Home+Services" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>Home Services</b></a> <b>:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> AI handles routine scheduling and service questions, while live agents provide support for urgent, high-stakes jobs like plumbing or HVAC emergencies.</span></li>

</ul>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seamlessly Integrated</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blazeo Voice AI is integrated with the company&#8217;s existing omnichannel platform, which includes </span><a href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4520733-1&amp;h=3568354814&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blazeo.com%2Fai-chatbot%2F&amp;a=AI-powered+chat" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>AI-powered chat</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, SMS, </span><a href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4520733-1&amp;h=3773241753&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blazeo.com%2Fappointment-setting%2F&amp;a=appointment+scheduling" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>appointment scheduling</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4520733-1&amp;h=3705217058&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blazeo.com%2Fretainer-signing-3%2F&amp;a=legal+retainer+signing" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>legal retainer signing</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and integrations with hundreds of business applications.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Early testing among pilot clients has shown </span><b>cost-per-call reductions of up to 35%</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, improved after-hours lead capture rates, and higher customer satisfaction scores due to instant response times.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>NiCE finalizes its acquisition of Cognigy, uniting two AI leaders to deliver smarter, faster, and seamless customer experiences through its CXone Mpower platform.</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">NiCE announced the successful closing of its acquisition of </span><a href="https://www.nice.com/lps/nice-cognigy" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cognigy</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a recognized leader in enterprise-grade conversational and agentic AI, following receipt of all required regulatory approvals. This brings together two AI industry leaders, each with a proven track record of market leadership, innovation, and customer impact to accelerate AI adoption in customer experience across the front and back office.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By bringing together Cognigy’s AI and NiCE’s award-winning CXone Mpower </span><a href="https://martechview.com/cx-ai-powered-hyper-personalization/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">CX AI platform</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, organizations of all sizes will transform how they deliver AI-powered customer experience.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Gill Capital teams up with Google Cloud to launch gen AI-powered search and chat assistants, making product discovery seamless for H&amp;M shoppers in SEA.</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The biggest frustration for online shoppers is a search bar that doesn&#8217;t understand them. When a shopper arrives with a specific need in mind, they are met with irrelevant results or a dead end that reads &#8220;No results found.&#8221; This isn&#8217;t just an inconvenience; it&#8217;s the critical point where a potential sale is lost.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Against an industry backdrop of website search functions that rely on rigid keyword-matching and fail to comprehend true shopper intent,</span><a href="https://www.gillcapital.com.sg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Gill Capital Group</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a leading retail brand development and distribution company, is proactively transforming the omnichannel product discovery experience. By harnessing </span><a href="https://martechview.com/nearly-60-of-americans-use-genai-for-online-shopping/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">generative AI</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (genAI), Gill Capital sets a new standard for the global brands it manages in Southeast Asia, such as H&amp;M, ALO, and On Running.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Through Google Cloud’s</span><a href="https://www.googlecloudpresscorner.com/2025-06-13-Google-Cloud-and-Digital-Industry-Singapore-Launch-AI-Cloud-Takeoff-Program-to-Accelerate-Holistic-AI-Transformation-Within-Local-Enterprises" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">AI Cloud Takeoff</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (AI CTO) program, Gill Capital has embarked on multiple AI innovation projects. One of them involves embedding a gen AI-powered search agent into e-commerce websites and apps (</span><a href="https://apps.apple.com/id/app/h-m-thailand-and-indonesia/id1477059400" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">iOS</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span><a href="https://share.google/IKndOF8GetgrlT0I0" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Android</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">) for</span><a href="https://id.hm.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">H&amp;M Indonesia</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and</span><a href="https://th.hm.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">H&amp;M Thailand</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Built using</span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/solutions/vertex-ai-search-commerce" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Vertex AI Search for Commerce</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, this</span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/discover/what-are-ai-agents" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">AI agent</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> understands the true intent behind search queries in natural language, whether they&#8217;re in English or local languages. The agent can decipher a customer’s needs, even if they key in &#8220;เสื้อเบลาส์สำหรับวันอากาศร้อนชื้น&#8221; (blouse for hot and humid weather) or &#8220;tunik elegan untuk Lebaran&#8221; (elegant tunic for Eid Al-Fitr) with a typo. By focusing on the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">meaning</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of words, not just keywords, it surfaces contextually relevant results. On the backend, the agent also automatically analyzes and organizes a vast product catalog, freeing staff up from the tedious task of researching and adding keywords to each product.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Going a step further, Gill Capital is integrating a</span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/products/conversational-agents" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">conversational agent</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> into these platforms. Also developed using Vertex AI Search for Commerce, this agent serves as a virtual shopping assistant, surfacing personalized product recommendations through</span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/chat/chat-prompts#:~:text=Multi%2Dturn%20chat%20is%20when%20a%20model%20tracks%20the%20history%20of%20a%20chat%20conversation%20and%20then%20uses%20that%20history%20as%20the%20context%20for%20responses.%20This%20page%20shows%20you%20how%20to%20power%20a%20chatbot%20or%20digital%20assistant%20by%20using%20a%20model%20that%27s%20capable%20of%20multi%2Dturn%20chat." target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">multi-turn</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> conversation. It also helps customers with more complex tasks like checking if an item is in stock at nearby H&amp;M stores—creating a seamless connection between digital and physical—or answering questions like, “What’s the return policy?”</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">After piloting these two solutions with an initial group of users, Gill Capital has validated their effectiveness in boosting engagement and sales. There are now plans to roll them out for H&amp;M Indonesia and H&amp;M Thailand later this year.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Victor Siow, Group Chief Data and Analytics Officer, Gill Capital Group, said: “At Gill Capital, we create innovative, localized retail concepts for brands in our portfolio to help them thrive in Southeast Asia. While search technology has advanced from keyword-matching to</span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/discover/what-is-semantic-search" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">semantic</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and</span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/discover/what-is-agentic-ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">agentic</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> search, many online retailers haven’t kept pace. With Google Cloud, we’re utilizing the same underlying components that power Google Search today to gain a competitive edge. By</span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/grounding/overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">grounding</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> best-in-class</span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/learn/prompts/explain-reasoning" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">reasoning</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> models like</span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/models/gemini/2-5-flash" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Gemini 2.5 Flash</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on company data sources, we can also ensure our AI agents provide relevant </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> accurate outputs. As part of our AI strategy, we’re now bringing these horizontal search and conversation use cases to other brands while pursuing new applications in key areas like supply chain optimization.”</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">The AI CTO program: Providing a clear pathway to enterprise AI excellence at scale</span></h3>
<p><a href="https://cloud.google.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Google Cloud</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">’s AI CTO program, organized in partnership with </span><a href="https://www.disg.gov.sg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Digital Industry Singapore</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (DISG) under the Singapore Government’s </span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/resources/offers/sg-ai-cto" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Enterprise Compute Initiative</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, aims to establish AI Centers of Excellence (AI CoEs) within 300 digitally-mature, Singapore-based companies.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Using a proven Google Cloud framework, the program will help each participating company establish a dedicated in-house unit (i.e., an AI CoE) that will centralize AI-related expertise, resources, and governance; drive technology, process, and people transformation; and ensure AI innovation initiatives are aligned with business objectives and implemented securely and responsibly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each company will work with a DISG-appointed, Google Cloud-certified technical consultancy partner to establish its AI CoE.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Wunderkind’s new AI platform optimizes personalized messaging across channels in real time, driving higher engagement and revenue with zero manual effort.</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wunderkind, the AI decisioning platform that delivers identity resolution and cross-channel personalization to scale performance and reach, today announced the launch of </span><a href="https://www.wunderkind.co/platform/wunderkindai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wunderkind AI Experiences</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">: a breakthrough portfolio of agentic, personalized messaging strategies.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As marketers face growing pressure to drive revenue, AI Experiences offers a powerful and efficient solution. Unlike traditional tools built on static rules and manual logic, AI Experiences uses advanced identity resolution, real-time behavioral data, and agentic decisioning to deliver the highest performing messages. It determines the best timing and channel for each individual across email and SMS, as well as uses affinity modeling for personalized product recommendations. This drives higher conversions, expands reach and scales personalized experiences beyond what human teams can achieve today.“</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Marketers are tired of building decision trees only to watch them underperform,” said Richard Jones, CRO at Wunderkind. “AI Experiences flips the script. It learns and adapts in real time, continuously optimizing message timing, sequencing, and product recommendations to drive performance without requiring hands-on orchestration. This is lifecycle marketing without the heavy lifting.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From re-engaging abandoners to recommending the next-best purchase, AI Experiences uses behavioral signals and identity resolution to unlock hyper-relevant touchpoints that drive conversions. By dynamically sequencing campaigns based on individual intent—not pre-set logic—Wunderkind enables marketers to maximize engagement, revenue, and brand loyalty at scale.</span></p>
<p><b>Key Benefits of Wunderkind AI Experiences:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Smarter Targeting:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Identify and engage high-intent shoppers with precision, using first-party data and behavioral signals.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Dynamic Sequencing:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Automatically determine the next-best message and moment to send, improving engagement and efficiency.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Cross-Channel Optimization: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Coordinate outreach across email and text in a unified, adaptive flow.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Effortless Execution: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eliminate complex build-outs and ongoing campaign maintenance with plug-and-play strategies that perform from the start.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;We’re excited to be beta testing Wunderkind’s AI Abandonment capabilities at SMCP,” said Erin Pepe, VP of Digital and Customer Experience at SMCP. “It will take the guesswork out of when and how to reach shoppers—optimizing both the timing and the channel automatically—driving more clicks and conversions than classic journeys.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">AI Experiences arrives at a pivotal time. According to </span><a href="https://convert.wunderkind.co/2025-us-consumer-insights-report.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wunderkind’s 2025 Consumer Insights Report</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, 87% of shoppers are more likely to purchase from brands that send offers based on their browse and click history. With 95% of website traffic still anonymous, and traditional </span><a href="https://martechview.com/tag/Customer-Relationship-Management-(CRM/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">CRM tools</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> under strain, AI-driven, identity-based outreach and decisioning has never been more critical.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For CRM, lifecycle, and digital marketers seeking higher-impact triggered campaigns with fewer constraints, Wunderkind AI Experiences offers a performance marketing advantage rooted in automation, adaptability, and scale.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Conversational and agentic AI are transforming travel planning from scattered apps to a single, intelligent interface for personalized, seamless trips.</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Travel planning has long been a tangled web of disconnected platforms, multiple apps, and endless browser tabs. Travelers juggle flight booking sites, hotel platforms, restaurant reviews, and activity planners, often losing momentum between each touchpoint. This fragmented experience creates friction for travelers and makes it harder for travel brands to build and maintain engagement. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, </span><a href="https://martechview.com/cx/conversational-ai/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">conversational</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and agentic AI systems seem poised to resolve those challenges. Achieved not by adding new apps or features, but through their ability to connect every stage of the planning process into a centralized, data-driven interaction that adapts in real time to travelers&#8217; needs. </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">The end of travel planning overload </span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As travelers demand more streamlined booking experiences, the next competitive edge won&#8217;t come from more apps but AI that integrates traditionally siloed functions into one continuous flow. Rather than forcing users to navigate between separate platforms, AI-powered systems handle complex requests through natural conversation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This shift is about more than convenience—it&#8217;s a reimagining of travel planning itself, and by extension, how travel brands interact with customers. Just as AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini have changed how many people gather information and find answers to questions, AI is transforming travel planning from a scavenger hunt into a guided discovery tour.   </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That means that instead of competing for app downloads, companies must focus on creating AI experiences that understand context, remember preferences, and execute complex arrangements through a single intelligent interface. Brands that master this unified approach will capture customer loyalty by becoming the single point of contact for all travel needs. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Consumer behavior has stabilized around digital-first expectations, with travelers expecting technology to work intuitively. Companies that continue to rely on fragmented experiences risk losing customers to competitors offering more AI-powered end-to-end travel solutions.   </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Data-rich interactions drive smarter recommendations </span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The power of AI lies in its ability to turn data into value. By analyzing deep customer data—preferences, past behavior, and real-time context—AI systems can deliver smarter, highly personalized recommendations and decisions that drive both conversion and loyalty. Imagine a booking platform that knows, based on a variety of historical and profile data combined with browsing cues, that a traveler is planning a summer seaside vacation, and can automatically recommend a minivan rental and hotel suite large enough to accommodate their family. Wouldn&#8217;t that traveler be more likely to convert than if they had received a generic offer?   </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Traditional platforms collect vast amounts of data but often fail to connect insights across touchpoints. A user might search for flights on one platform, book hotels on another, and research activities on a third, with each interaction trapped in silos. AI-powered systems change this by creating comprehensive customer profiles that inform every interaction. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This data integration enables AI to make intelligent trade-offs impossible through conventional interfaces. For example, AI might recommend a slightly more expensive flight because it knows the traveler values shorter layovers or suggest a hotel in a different neighborhood based on known dining preferences. Each interaction makes the system smarter, creating a flywheel effect that improves the system’s ability to serve the customer and strengthens loyalty over time.  </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">From conversational search to autonomous trip management </span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If conversational AI helps travelers search and plan trips using natural language, such as “Find me a flight to Tokyo next month with a window seat and a hotel nearby with a gym,” then agentic AI takes it further by acting on the traveler&#8217;s behalf. It can rebook flights if there are delays, suggest restaurants based on dietary needs, or adjust itineraries in real time. This shift turns AI from a simple search interface into an autonomous travel partner that makes decisions and handles logistics without needing user input. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Travelers are primed for this next evolution. According to Statista,</span><a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1558304/ai-use-travel-planning-worldwide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">40%</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of global travelers have already experimented with AI trip-planning tools, while 12% use AI for both planning and during the vacation. But what does this mean for established travel players? If a single AI agent handles an entire trip-planning experience, do consumers still turn to booking platforms or rely on TripAdvisor reviews? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This means AI&#8217;s role is no longer just in searches and suggestions. It’s in booking, coordinating, and problem-solving, creating a travel experience where planning becomes collaborative rather than transactional. AI becomes the traveler’s co-pilot, handling logistics and monitoring for changes so travelers can focus on the experience, not the mundane, time-consuming details. </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Legacy brands face new competitive pressure </span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As big tech giants and AI-first disruptors move deeper into travel, legacy brands face new pressure to strengthen their AI capabilities or risk losing relevance. Companies like </span><a href="https://martechview.com/tag/Google/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Google</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> bring sophisticated technology platforms, mountains of user data, and broad user familiarity that can quickly challenge established travel brands&#8217; market positions. </span></p>
<p><a href="https://martechview.com/personalized-travel-rewards-customer-loyalty/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Travel brands</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> still have an advantage based on their customer relationships, but this competitive threat requires travel companies to rethink their technology strategies. With this shift accelerating, success depends on travel companies effectively integrating data across touchpoints, investing in scalable AI systems to handle complex scenarios, or partnering strategically where internal capabilities fall short. This transition might seem daunting, but it can start simply, with an audit of existing systems and data. But the important part is to get started—the big tech challenge is not going to abate. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The challenge is particularly acute for established travel brands with legacy systems, fragmented data architectures, and aging tech stacks. These companies must navigate a tightrope, maintaining existing operations while modernizing infrastructure to support new AI capabilities, often requiring large technology investments. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The clock is ticking. As AI capabilities advance rapidly and customer expectations shift toward more intelligent, autonomous travel experiences, travel companies must move quickly to assess their AI readiness and develop comprehensive strategies to compete effectively in an AI-driven travel landscape. </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Jellyfish launches Share of Model<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />: Analyze how LLMs perceive your brand and optimize digital presence for AI recommendations.</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Share of Model<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Platform is a single-view interface that enables companies to analyze how different </span><a href="https://martechview.com/?s=large+language+models"><span style="font-weight: 400;">large language models</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (LLMs) perceive their brands, products, and services. Critically, the new platform can identify whether or not brands are optimizing their digital presence enough to prompt coveted recommendations from GenAI models such as ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Meta’s Llama when people tap into them for guidance.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This solution allows brand marketers, for the first time, to close the loop from LLM research into a digital marketing strategy. In beta trials, the Share of Model<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Platform helped brands expand their keyword strategy, driving insight around adjusted website text and image assets to appeal more to each model. It was also successfully leveraged for competitive analysis, to understand how AI models perceive competitors and identify gaps in their strategy to dominate emerging opportunities.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“LLMs will increasingly influence customer behavior, and the Share of Model platform enabled us to track and compare each LLM&#8217;s perception.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Danone VP, Global Head of Media &amp; Integrated Brand Communication, Catherine Lautier</span></p></blockquote>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why AI is becoming the Go-To for brand recommendations</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“More than a billion people in 100+ countries engage with Google’s AI Overviews every month,” said Jack Smyth, Chief Solutions Officer for AI, Planning, and Insights at Jellyfish. “This marks a transformative moment in the influence and reach of Gen AI. LLMs are no longer just tools; they are a critical part of the customer journey and an audience in their own right. Our Share of Model<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Platform empowers brands to understand how LLMs perceive their category, competitors and content.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Speaking at a recent Google and The Brandtech Group event, Gokcen Karaca, Head of Digital and Design at Pernod-Ricard-owned Chivas Brothers, who are part of the Share of Model<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Platform beta program, commented “The biggest challenge for brands is navigating the overwhelming number of choices consumers face when shopping online. Whether through e-retailers, Google Shopping, or even turning to LLMs to ask, ‘Which brand suits my taste profile?’, consumers are seeking clarity in a sea of options. As brands, we must ensure our products are represented in those critical AI-driven responses. Partnering with Jellyfish allows us to actively shape this new frontier and influence the answers our consumers receive. It’s an exciting journey to be on together.”</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Understanding LLM influence across generations</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Results from a recent </span><a href="https://today.yougov.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">YouGov</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> study further confirm the urgent need for brands to understand how people are using AI tools and their impact and influence on purchase behaviors. Surveying 1,000 U.S. consumers between the ages of 18-65  the importance of Gen AI tools such as ChatGPT is shown to be significant.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The research shows that two-thirds (66%) of 18–24-year olds – aka Gen Z – report that they ask AI models for brand, product and service recommendations. More than half (51%) of 25-34-year-olds similarly turn to LLMs, with this usage dropping to 42% for those aged 35-44 and 31% for the 45-54 age group.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As users rely on these tools, their expectations for recommendations are also rising. Half (50%) of 18-24-year-olds expect AI tools to guide them to the best brands, products or services for them, with a slight decline to 47% among 25-34-year-olds, 35% for 35-44-year-olds, and further decline for those 44 and older.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brandtech Group Partner &amp; Head of Emerging Tech, Rebecca Sykes commented, “Essentially we are reverse-engineering a marketing approach this way, picking up signals from an entirely new ‘audience’, who’s seen everything you’ve ever made as a marketer and is showing you where the gaps are in your messaging. It’s one way in which we think marketing is going to be entirely disrupted &#8211; we’ll be prompted to make content when the signal strength is weak for a benefit/brand value/data point that we need to win in.”</span></p></blockquote>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>ContentWise integrates AI agents into its UX Engine, automating complex tasks to create hyper-personalized content experiences that boost loyalty and retention.</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">ContentWise, the AI-powered customer experience company, today introduced the ContentWise Agent Engine, which integrates advanced AI agents and agentic capabilities into its flagship </span><a href="https://www.contentwise.com/products/ux-engine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">UX Engine</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">platform</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This significant advancement will enable marketing and editorial teams to delegate complex decision-making and automate high-value, recurrent tasks, leading to hyper-personalized content experiences that boost loyalty and retention.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leveraging cutting-edge multi-agent architectures, including </span><a href="https://github.com/a2aproject/A2A" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Google’s Agent-to-Agent (A2A)</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> protocol and </span><a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-context-protocol" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP)</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, ContentWise is pioneering a new era of intelligent digital experience management.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Creating and managing truly </span><a href="https://martechview.com/cx/personalization-and-privacy/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">personalized</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> user experiences at scale is a significant challenge.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Teams are often bogged down by complex configuration tasks, manual curation, and the difficulty of interpreting vast amounts of user data and tools to drive KPIs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">ContentWise’s new AI agents are autonomous software units designed to perform tasks, make decisions, and interact with the digital environment based on user-defined goals.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Integrated directly into the ContentWise UX Engine, they connect to a range of external tools and services, empowering teams to move from manual configuration to automated, goal-oriented, multi-step instructions.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">How It Works</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">ContentWise Agent Engine uses a multi-agent architecture with specialized agents for different tasks, like a “Pattern Discovery” agent for analyzing user behavior, and a “UX Configurator” for translating goals into platform settings.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A host agent orchestrates these specialized agents using industry standards like Google’s A2A protocol and Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This allows complex requests, such as “promote trending shows to the right audience,” to be broken down into sub-tasks that are executed collaboratively by the most suitable agents.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Example Use Cases</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Powerful agentic use cases enabled by ContentWise Agent Engine.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Trend-to-Carousel Agent:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Leverages real-time social media and online magazine sentiment analysis to proactively identify and highlight trending and highly anticipated content. Editorial lists like “Hot on TV Today” are dynamically updated with peak-anticipation shows, maximizing user engagement.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
<p></span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Marketing Campaign Agent:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Easily integrates with the external marketing platforms (e.g., </span><a href="https://onesignal.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">OneSignal</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://www.braze.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Braze</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">) to automate the entire campaign lifecycle. For major events like the 2026 World Cup, the agent can enrich user profiles, create precise audience segments within the marketing platform, and then trigger or schedule highly targeted content packages and personalized notification campaigns, all as part of a single, automated workflow.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
<p></span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Live Sports Agent:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Enhances the sports content offering by integrating real-time live event data from external sports data APIs. This enables dynamic updates to editorial lists, targeted notifications, and personalized sports content recommendations.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
<p></span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>UX Simulation Agent:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Simulates diverse user journeys across various segments to provide comprehensive insights into content discovery paths and interface usability. The system generates detailed reports on user interactions, identifying pain points and suggesting actionable improvements.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the ContentWise Agent Engine, we are fundamentally changing the operational paradigm for our customers.</span></p>
<blockquote><p>This technology has three clear benefits: it accelerates existing workflows for immediate efficiency gains; it unlocks new, powerful strategies that were not feasible before; and it provides the foundation for future innovation. We believe that a team&#8217;s ability to orchestrate AI agents will become the single greatest competitive advantage, and we are putting that power directly into our customers&#8217; hands.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paolo Bozzola, CEO &#8211; </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">ContentWise</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“From a technology standpoint, this is a game-changer,&#8221; said Paolo Cremonesi, CTO of ContentWise.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Our agent architecture, built on open standards like MCP and A2A, is designed to break down data silos. We’re moving beyond simple API calls to true orchestration, where agents can intelligently chain together tasks across multiple platforms—our own, and our clients’.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s not just about automating a single task; it’s about designing and executing complex, multi-step workflows that can pull from social media trends, trigger a campaign in the UX Engine, and push a notification through an external service, all in one seamless process.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This fundamentally changes the speed of innovation. A complex idea that used to require a development cycle can now be tested in an afternoon, allowing teams to experiment and iterate at a pace that was previously unimaginable.”</span></p>
