  • Publication number: 20260057409
    Abstract: Certain aspects provide a computer-implemented method for evaluating social media marketing campaigns using artificial intelligence (AI). The method comprises using a large language model (LLM) to generate a plurality of AI personas. Each AI persona represents a different segment of a target audience of a marketing campaign. The method uses a transformer model, a decision tree-based model, and a natural language processing (NLP) model to predict a response, a rating, and a feedback to the marketing campaign for each AI persona that represents a different segment of the target audience. The predicted responses, ratings, and feedback for the AI personas that represent different segments of the target audience are aggregated to form an evaluation of the marketing campaign for each segment of the target audience. The method sends the evaluation of the marketing campaign to a user.

  • Publication number: 20250356435
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure provide artificial intelligence (AI) methods and systems for generating personalized social media content with trend integration. A method generally includes retrieving data from data sources that includes customer interactions with a business, and inventory data of the business, determining trending-product pairs that increase engagement of the customers with products recorded in the inventory data of the business based on the retrieved data. A generative artificial intelligence (AI) model is used to generate one or more of a caption, a hashtag, and a promotional image that are personalized to each of the customers in response to receiving prompts that contain information about the customers, information about trending-product pairs, and social media platforms of the customers. The method sends one or more of the captions, the hashtags, and the promotional images that are personalized to the customers to social media platforms of the customers.

  • Publication number: 20230105022
    Abstract: A multi-sensor mounting system and method includes a secondary pipe and an adapter. The secondary pipe comprises a fastening device configured to fix the secondary pipe to the process pipe, and a valve that is switchable between an open state and a closed state. The adapter detachably connects a sensor module to the secondary pipe. The valve allows a sensing probe of the sensor module being inserted into the process pipe in the open state, and to block a fluid flow in the secondary pipe in the closed state, for example, for times when the sensing probe is removed from the secondary pipe.
