AI-powered martech releases and news: April 11

A marketing campaign using AI to help dogs in shelters get adopted? You better believe I’m writing about that. The Adoptable campaign from PEDIGREE pet products combines AI technology with the brand’s global ad reach to create picture-perfect and location-specific ads for dogs needing a home. 

The Adoptable technology, from Nexus Studios, takes amateur dog photos from shelter workers and creates a digital dog double with information about the pose and general characteristics of the dog. Then, it refines all the features to create a professional quality image that looks like the dog available for adoption. It can reposition the dogs into different poses and create assets that can be used in any PEDIGREE advertisement.  

Even cooler, IMHO, the dogs in the ads are based on the viewer’s location and switched out in real-time when a dog is adopted. 

Now, here are this week’s AI-powered martech releases and news:

• Dovetail’s Channels takes large volumes of customer feedback and uncovers patterns in real-time. It processes high-volume, continuous user feedback, and data sets such as support tickets, app reviews, and Net Promoter Score/Customer Satisfaction Score (NPS/CSAT) responses.
