What problem is Yobi solving?:

The AI era requires a data infrastructure that is accessible, scalable, and secure. Microsoft and Yobi are democratizing access to US’s biggest consumer dataset with over $2T of demand signals. By removing the complexity of collecting, annotating, and synthesizing heterogeneous datasets, AI is becoming integrated into the fabric of organizational workflows.

Accelerating value will require access to secure and consented data. Done uniquely through first-party partnerships with some of the largest retailers, banks, logistics companies and more across the U.S., Microsoft’s business partner, Yobi, has built a behavioral graph that can enrich AI outcomes while removing the risk of personally identifiable information to protect consumer privacy and trust. The new and enriched data will run on the customer’s tenant allowing for constant enhancement and new outcomes.

Responsibly deliver predictive external signal to complement an enterprise's existing data estate. The combination fuels AI / ML applications to deliver tangible increases in growth & retention, data monetization capabilities, and AI effectiveness for known and unknown customers.

Example Use Cases:

1. Anonymous Customer Personalization - Over 80% of all website traffic is anonymous – severely limiting the ability to personalize digital experiences for prospective customers beyond geo-location. With Yobi, your prospects will remain anonymous but their digital experience will be hyper-personalized from the first visit based on predicted intent and historical preferences.
2. Customer Growth - Optimize customer discovery and acquisition. Deliver the right message to the right customer, at the right time to increase user acquisition and marketing performance. Integrate Yobi's signal to improve the effectiveness of lead qualification and marketing segmentation.
3. Retention & Churn Reduction – Proactively resolve churn with relevant offers and unique customer experiences. Tap into predictive external indicators of churn not being collected today to deepen your understanding of the customer's holistic journey and respond to real time shifts in behavior.
4. Product Recommendation & Search - Anticipate customer intent and decrease a shopper's time to buy. Deploy improved customization and relevance through digital product recommendations or search experiences for known and unknown customers across an enterprise's digital surfaces.
5. Fraud Detection - Increase fraud model accuracy and identify bots by enriching customer data in your data estate with Yobi Signal.
