Simon AI helps marketing teams achieve 1:1 personalization. By combining a composable CDP with agentic AI, Simon AI allows marketers to set goals — like reducing churn or increasing repeat purchases — and lets AI handle the rest. It uncovers hidden signals, activates 100x more data, and automates execution across channels, empowering small teams to perform like large ones.
Product Overview
Simon AI's architecture is designed for the modern data stack: all customer data lives in the customer's Snowflake instance (with BigQuery support in development), and Simon AI's platform sits as an activation layer on top — providing the segmentation, journey orchestration, and channel delivery capabilities that marketing teams need without creating a parallel data store. This means the single source of truth stays in the warehouse, data engineers can model customer attributes using dbt or SQL, and marketers can access those attributes in a visual interface to build campaigns and segments. Simon AI's Customer Journey Studio provides a drag-and-drop interface for building multi-channel journeys that trigger on warehouse events — a customer's loyalty tier changing, a churn propensity score crossing a threshold, or a purchase event being recorded. Unlike traditional ESPs and MAPs, Simon AI is designed for data-rich enterprise brands with complex segmentation requirements that exceed the capabilities of Braze or Klaviyo alone.
Key Features
- Snowflake-Native Architecture: Activate data directly from Snowflake — marketing operates on the same data warehouse that powers analytics, with no duplication.

- No-Code Segmentation: Visual segment builder that queries Snowflake directly — marketers access warehouse attributes without SQL.
