Optimizely is a digital experience platform combining web experimentation, feature flagging, headless CMS, and AI content capabilities for organisations building data-driven digital experiences. Optimizely One is the unified platform — bringing together Web Experimentation, Feature Experimentation, Content Management, and Content Marketing on one data backbone. AI capabilities include Opal — Optimizely's AI assistant generating content, suggesting experiment hypotheses, analysing results, and automating content workflows. Web Experimentation provides A/B and multivariate testing at enterprise scale — testing thousands of variants simultaneously with statistical rigour for high-traffic websites. Feature Experimentation extends testing to backend features and mobile apps — rolling out features to specific user segments and measuring impact with statistical confidence. Content Marketing Platform (CMP) manages the content production workflow — editorial planning, briefing, collaboration, and approval before publishing to CMS. Personalisation applies ML to serve targeted content variants based on visitor segments and real-time behaviour signals. Stats Engine is Optimizely's proprietary statistical methodology — sequential testing enabling business decisions from experiment data without waiting for predetermined sample sizes. With Episerver merger and enterprise deployment, Optimizely validates for organisations combining content management with rigorous experimentation.
Optimizely AI runs as llm assistant software built around text and code 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, ios, and android.
