Digital personalization company Dynamic Yield by Mastercard was purchased from McDonald’s in 2022.

Generative AI systems, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and DALL-E, are designed to convert colloquial user commands into text, video, audio or even computer code.

In the case of Shopping Muse, users can make plain-language requests in the context of an online marketplace, and the AI system will generate personalized recommendations via a process Dynamic Yield refers to as algorithmic content matching.

As Ori Bauer, CEO of Dynamic Yield by Mastercard, described it:

“Personalization gives people the shopping experiences they want, and AI-driven innovation is the key to unlocking immersive and tailored online shopping. By harnessing the power of generative AI in Shopping Muse, we’re meeting the consumer’s standards and making shopping smarter and more seamless than ever.”
