We’re building a platform for ecommerce merchants to send realtime personalized discounts, optimized with AI (obviously)Demo: https://youtu.be/BCYNCqb4fUc, Sales Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiO1S7RBn-oAll the big tech companies send personalized discounts - Uber, DoorDash, Google, etc.
In fact, I was the product lead overseeing discounts at Uber, so if you’ve gotten a promotion on Uber Rides or Eats, that was our tech.
These personalization models often generate >30% more revenue vs. non-personalized discounts (cost-neutral that is), so this is a hugely impactful product.
The biggest problem with personalizing discounts for mid-size and smaller companies has been that traditionally you rely on ‘explore’ data - data from randomly sending out discounts to a portion of the user base.
We currently have tiered pricing with different quotas for the amount of revenue managed by Promi discounts.
