What you get when your AI accesses Appcues.

AUDIENCE

Segment visibility

The AI pulls a full list of your current segments. You'll see exactly how your audience is grouped.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

  1. Identify groups

    The AI scans your Appcues account to find all active segments. This gives you a clear view of your available targeting groups.
