AI That Runs Deep

AI that Zapier calls a "sweet spot"

Zapier tested AI features across both platforms. Their conclusion was clear: ActiveCampaign's AI isn't a bolted-on feature — it's woven into every workflow.

"ActiveCampaign's AI automation-building features generally saved the most time. They hit an AI sweet spot: since creating workflows manually takes a lot of time and it's also relatively logical and mechanical, oftentimes AI does it better and faster." — Zapier

Zapier Put It to the Test

We gave it one prompt. It built the whole series.

Zapier's reviewer didn't just read about ActiveCampaign's AI — they tested it with a real task.

"I asked ActiveCampaign's AI to build a five-day drip series with three emails. It generated the entire thing (including the email designs and content), meaning I just had to tweak a few things rather than starting from scratch." — Zapier

The result speaks for itself: 85% faster campaign creation, according to a neutral reviewer who experienced it firsthand.
