Introducing the Review Generation Agent

AI that drives more reviews by picking the right sites, the best send times, and high-converting message variations—powered by personalization, smart reminders, and auto-switching templates.

The Review Generation Agent continuously optimizes your review outreach. It selects the best review sites to target, personalizes messages using business and customer context, finds the ideal send times, and auto-tests templates—switching to the top performer as results come in. Built-in reminder scheduling nudges customers who don’t respond, so more invitations turn into published reviews.

Why we built this:

• Increase review volume and distribution across the sites that matter most to your business.
• Save hours weekly by automating targeting, timing, and follow-ups.
• Enhance conversions with personalized and performance-based template switching.
• Sustain fresh reviews to boost trust and local visibility.

Introducing Contact Segmentation Agent

Smarter segments. Cleaner lists. Automated actions. Meet the Contact Segmentation Agent — an AI-driven way to build dynamic segments and reusable lists from your contact data. It reads contact attributes and history across sources (CRM, reviews, surveys, referrals, transactions), lets you save rich, auto-updating segments, and plugs them straight into campaigns and automations.

Why This Matters

• Reusable dynamic segments: Save once, auto-update forever—no more rebuilding filters.
• Static lists: Create or import fixed audiences for one-time campaigns or specific use cases.
• Smarter filters: Combine attributes, behaviors, and time windows.
• Action-ready: Use segments or lists directly in campaigns, or trigger automations when contacts enter/exit.
• Clarity & control: See who’s in, who changed, and how lists/segments grow over time with built-in reporting.

Introducing the Review Response Agent

The Review Response Agent is designed to intelligently analyze incoming reviews and generate context-aware, brand-aligned replies. This agent reduces manual effort, ensures consistency, and helps you scale review management across platforms.

  • Tone and compliance controls
  • Custom tokens (employee names, locations, products, etc.)
  • Optional human-in-the-loop approvals

Why we built this

• To autonomously analyze reviews and generate personalized, on-brand responses.

• Generate responses – Craft empathetic, human-like replies based on sentiment, intent, and brand tone.
• Enable approvals – Route responses for human approval (e.g., negative reviews) or publish directly when safe.

Lead Generation Agent

Never Miss Another Lead Again. The new Lead Generation Agent captures leads, qualifies intent, and keeps conversations alive automatically—helping your team focus on closing deals instead of chasing contacts.

Why we built this

• To reduce manual workload and ensure no potential leads slip through the cracks.
• To provide instant, personalized responses across all digital channels.
• To scale lead capture and qualification with AI-powered sentiment and intent detection.

What’s launching

The Lead Generation Agent helps you:

Key outcomes

• Capture more leads by engaging across all channels (Web, SMS, email, social DMs, contact forms).
• Save time & costs with instant, automated conversations.

With the Lead Generation Agent, you can engage every visitor, qualify them in real-time, and seamlessly pass high-value leads to your sales team—ensuring faster conversions and higher ROI.

Introducing Search AI: Stay Visible in the AI Era

The industry’s first platform designed to help multi-location brands get discovered on AI-powered search engines, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and more. Built natively on our AI platform, Search AI gives businesses the intelligence they need to stay visible and competitive in the evolving AI search landscape.

Why we built this

• AI search engines are reshaping discovery, yet brands have no visibility into how they appear—or don’t appear—on these platforms.
• Traditional SEO tools don’t measure AI visibility, leaving businesses blind to a critical discovery channel.
• Brands that adapt first will capture the AI search edge, while others risk losing clicks, calls, and customers.

Key capabilities

With Search AI, businesses can:

• Track visibility: Monitor how your brand appears on AI search engines in comparison to your competitors.
• Discover themes and prompts: Identify trending prompts and questions shaping AI-driven discovery.
• Analyze citations: Understand which citations and references are driving visibility.
• Monitor rankings: Track performance at both brand and local levels across AI platforms.
• Measure sentiment: Gain insights into the intent and sentiment behind AI search queries.

Outcomes

• Stay ahead of the curve as AI search transforms customer discovery.
• Capture visibility on emerging search engines that influence consumer decisions.
• Ensure consistency and accuracy across AI engines.

Introducing Brand and Industry AI

Brand and Industry AI are custom AI models that help businesses maintain a consistent, on-brand, and industry-aware presence across the entire Birdeye platform. They assist in generating review responses and creating social posts, ensuring every customer interaction reflects the brand's voice and acts on its behalf.

• Define your brand voice

  • Upload a PDF, URL, or paste text to set up your brand voice. Brand AI automatically detects and suggests brand personality traits and writing styles. There is an option to manually adjust your voice settings for precision.

• Create Guardrails for Brand AI

  • Set clear dos and don’ts for content generation. Guardrails prevent AI from generating off-brand or non-compliant content. Built-in validation ensures AI prompts stay within these rules—no jailbreaking allowed.

• Customize with AI Prompts

  • Write specific prompts to guide AI-generated social media posts and review replies. Social prompts can include holiday posts and post ideas. Review prompts can be tailored for particular types of customer feedback. AI Prompts provide granular control over content tone, intent, and structure.

• Real-time preview

  • View AI-generated content instantly for both social posts and review responses. Easily refine the output based on brand voice and prompt setup.

Why It Matters

Brand and Industry AI eliminate worries about generic, off-brand, or robotic customer interactions. These custom models help teams scale content creation across locations while staying true to the brand and industry. Each interaction is consistent, compliant, and impactful across all customer touchpoints.
