Challenge

Retail businesses need to understand when users are close to making a purchase in order to deliver advertisements and discounts at the optimal time. Traditional approaches lack precise real-time behavioral insight.

Solution

Austin AI developed a predictive system that analyzes time series data of user actions, including domains visited, search terms, timestamps, and geographies. The system applies intelligent input transformation and LLM/NLP-based feature engineering to generate real-time predictions of purchase intent and product category interest.
