Short answer

AI marketing automation is the use of artificial intelligence to run and optimize marketing campaigns, workflows and decisions with minimal manual work. Examples include predicting customer behavior, personalizing messages, choosing send times and adjusting bids or budgets. Unlike rule-based automation, it learns from data and adapts as performance and customer behavior change.
