Whether you’re a marketing leader strategizing the next big campaign or a marketer looking to accelerate your workflow, understanding the Copilot agents within Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys can help simplify (+ amplify) your marketing efforts from creation to launch. Here’s a breakdown of the available features:

Less time filtering data, more time on messaging with Query Assist

Your campaign strategy is set, and your audience is locked in. Now what? Using simple language to describe your target audience, the Query Assist feature translates your description into actionable clauses for your queries. For example, if you type “current customers who live in Texas,” Copilot automatically creates a segment query based on your input. Query Assist can help marketers spend less time filtering through data and more time focusing on curating messages that resonate with their customers.

Protect your brand with AI-Assisted Themes

Branding is important, and that includes your digital communication. Copilot’s AI-assisted theme feature enables you to bring in fonts, colors, and even header elements directly from your brand’s website. You can also define your desired aesthetic using natural language prompts, like “give this email a professional and modern theme.” Copilot handles the rest, ensuring your email’s visual elements reflect your brand.

Meet your brainstorming partner: Content Ideas

Curating compelling emails is both an art and a science, with messaging that resonates with customers in your brand voice. Not a copywriter? Start with the Content Ideas feature by adding a list of key points (e.g., “donations of $25,000 or higher, grant access to the President’s Club”) and select from several tones of voice. Your Copilot agent crafts several copy options to choose from. As with most AI solutions, we recommend using this feature as a starting point, and tweaking the result as appropriate.
