Personalisation engine
A system that tailors content, recommendations, or communications to an individual based on their data. Claude AI in a workflow can generate genuinely personalised emails using CRM fields, purchase history, and behavioural signals not just `{{firstName}}` merge tags.
Expert insight
A personalization engine's output is only as good as the signal quality feeding it, a personalization system built on sparse or stale customer data produces confidently wrong recommendations at scale, worth validating the input data quality before trusting the personalization layer built on top of it.
In a real workflow
Product recommendations in emails are chosen from each customer’s purchase history.
Common mistakes
