Lucy 2.0 is learning to work with more complicated data sets to automate workflows specific to each client’s processes through her new snapshot feature. She is also beginning to predict how strongly specific marketing messages will resonate against different personas and offer suggestions for improvement. Lucy’s predictive knowledge also applies to media planning—looking at multiple campaign objectives, she can generate predictive media models to forecast optimal allocations and campaign results and learns from actual performance to further enhance her predictive capabilities.

“Lucy 2.0 marks a vital milestone in Lucy’s evolution, where marketers can leverage more data and tools to inform their decision making,” said Scott Litman, Co-founder, Equals 3.

Lucy provides AI-powered enterprise knowledge management for Fortune 1000 marketers and advertising/media agencies that struggle to navigate and manage vast sums of structured and unstructured marketing data across channels. Rather than searching through dozens of systems or not taking advantage of valuable organizational data, Lucy unifies and delivers all of the data an organization owns, licenses and commissions through one simple interface.

Trained in natural language processing, Lucy understands grammar and context, and evaluates all possible meanings. Lucy learned more than 5,000 intents over the last six months, which enables her to more clearly understand the intent of questions asked of her and better inform the responses she will deliver.
