What is Attentive AI?
Attentive is the leading SMS marketing platform for e-commerce, helping consumer brands build and engage subscriber lists through personalised text message campaigns. With over 8,000 brand customers and proven revenue attribution from SMS, Attentive has established text message marketing as a core e-commerce retention channel.
Attentive AI generates personalised SMS and email copy for each subscriber segment — tailoring message content, product recommendations, and promotional offers based on purchase history, browsing behaviour, and engagement patterns. Personalised messages consistently outperform generic broadcast texts for both open rates and conversion.
Send Time AI predicts the optimal time to send each message to each subscriber based on their historical engagement patterns — maximising the probability each text is read and acted upon by scheduling at the individual level rather than bulk timing.
Two-way conversational SMS enables customers to reply to brand texts and receive AI-generated responses — providing customer service through text without requiring human agents for common inquiries like order status, store hours, and product questions.
Compliance management handles TCPA opt-in and opt-out management automatically — ensuring all subscriber lists are properly consented and all opt-outs are honoured immediately across all message types.
How Attentive AI works
Attentive AI runs as llm assistant software built around text workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web and api.
