How AI Content Optimization Works in XM Cloud Pages

Generate & Refine Content in Seconds

Inside XM Cloud's Page Editor, simply:

1. Select any text component (headline, paragraph, CTA)
2. Click "Optimize Content" in the right-hand panel
3. Choose an action:
   • Improve writing (sharpens clarity & engagement)
   • Fix spelling & grammar (instant proofreading)
   • Make shorter / longer (condenses or expands text)
   • Change tone (adjusts voice for different audiences)
   • Translate (supports multiple languages)
   • Adhere to brand (applies brand guidelines if a Brand Kit is linked)

A/B Test AI-Optimized Content

Once you've generated an optimized version, you can:

Replace the original text immediately
Run an A/B/n test to see which version performs better

Example:

• Original: "Discover our latest product features."
• AI-Optimized: "Unlock the full potential of our newest innovations."
• Test both variants to see which drives more engagement
