Optimizely enhances its AI offering with specialized agents and agentic workflows, making ‘infinite scale’ a reality for marketing and digital teams
NEW YORK, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Optimizely, the leading digital experience platform (DXP) provider, today introduced the next evolution of Optimizely Opal. With the launch of an all-new user interface and a direct embed across the Optimizely One product suite, Opal unlocks infinite use cases for marketing and digital teams—from task automation, to brand-perfect content creation, to end-to-end experimentation analysis and more.
Recognizing that the more relevant information an AI agent possesses, the more effective and accurate it becomes, Opal excels by leveraging comprehensive context. To do this, Opal builds industry-leading context windows by intelligently combining diverse data sources from an organization’s unique corporate knowledge, including existing assets, campaign performance, and experimentation results. Opal has rich memory, further enhanced by Optimizely’s domain expertise incorporating proven content and experimentation best practices. Additionally, Opal agents leverage dozens of tools that are purpose built for marketing and seamlessly integrate with external systems to augment its capabilities. Finally, Opal empowers users to fine-tune the AI with custom instructions and orchestrate these agents within advanced workflows. All of this unlocks unparalleled agentic capabilities and ensures a superior user experience.
This latest release for Optimizely Opal builds on the company’s commitment to making AI accessible, practical, and valuable—further supporting Optimizely’s mission to accelerate the entire content supply chain and make the lives of marketers better through safe and secure tooling.
Key enhancements include:
- A redesigned, intuitive platform experience that puts marketers in control thanks to features like Instructions, which is a dedicated user interface to manage new and pre-built agents, and Chat which is persistent across all Optimizely products for a consistent user experience.
- A pre-built tool library that helps marketers tackle complex everyday tasks, such as analyzing webpages, creating presentation decks, conducting keyword research, and more.
- Specialized agents designed for marketing tasks, each equipped with clear instructions and the right tools to deliver results or complete actions on marketers’ behalf.
- Agent workflows, which allow admins to combine multiple Specialized Agents to work together—either step-by-step or at the same time—to quickly deliver complete and coordinated outcomes
“Marketers are being asked to do more with less—and that’s exactly where Opal comes in,” said Rupali Jain, Chief Product Officer at Optimizely. “We’re turning the idea of infinitely scalable, AI-powered workforces into something real and immediately valuable. It’s not just about automation; it’s about bringing a decade of expertise in experimentation, content, and personalization into AI agents that understand your brand, your data, and your goals. And to top it all off, we offer configurations that allow customers to tailor agents to their specific needs.”
With 78% of organizations now using AI in at least one business function, Optimizely Opal addresses this growing demand by ensuring that teams can stay ahead of shifting market dynamics and maximize their impact in a fast-moving digital world—all within Optimizely One’s secure, SOC 2-compliant environment.
