Customer data holds immense value, yet many companies still struggle to turn raw numbers into clear, actionable insights. Adobe Customer Journey Analytics (Adobe CJA) is changing that by leveraging AI to transform complex data into smart, easy-to-understand guidance. Over the years—and especially following Adobe Summit 2025—it’s become clear that AI isn’t just an add-on; it’s the engine driving smarter, faster decision-making.
As noted in Adobe’s 2025 Digital Trends Report, “Nearly two-thirds (65%) of senior executives identify leveraging AI and predictive analytics as primary contributors to growth in 2025.” And in the past year, those companies who have AI tools in use report a 60% improvement in decision-making powered by AI-generated insight.

How AI is Reshaping Adobe Customer Journey Analytics
Adobe’s evolving AI capabilities are not just about adding new features—they’re fundamentally changing how teams engage with customer journey data. Here’s how these CJA innovations are driving real impact:
AI-Powered Attribution: Reveal What Actually Drives Conversions
Adobe’s Algorithmic Attribution uses AI to analyze every touchpoint across the customer journey, showing you what’s really influencing conversions. Instead of relying on outdated last-click models, you can invest confidently in strategies that work.
Anomaly Detection: Spot Unexpected Trends Instantly
Anomaly Detection flags sudden changes—like traffic drops or conversion spikes—so you can investigate and respond without delay.
Time Series Forecasting: Predict Future Trends
CJA’s built-in forecasting capabilities generate future projections using historical data—right inside your dashboards. This allows you to plan, set targets, and manage expectations more effectively.
Intelligent Captions: Make Insights More Accessible
Intelligent Captions translate visualizations into natural language summaries, making data easier to understand and share with stakeholders—especially those less familiar with Adobe Analytics Workspace.
AI Assistant: Powering the Self-Serve Analytics Model
The AI Assistant makes analytics more accessible by letting users ask plain-language questions and receive instant insights. It lowers the barrier to entry for those new to Adobe Customer Journey Analytics while enabling power users to accelerate their workflows.
Adobe’s AI Roadmap: What’s Next for Adobe Customer Journey Analytics?
Adobe’s AI roadmap is accelerating—and 2025 is focused on real-time, in-the-moment decision support. Starting in June 2025, Adobe will launch the Data Insights Agent, a new umbrella feature that centralizes several intelligent capabilities to make analytics more autonomous, intuitive, and action-oriented.
Coming June 2025: Data Insights Agent
The Data Insights Agent combines multiple AI tools into one in-product conversational experience. It includes:
Enhanced AI Assistant: Natural Language Meets Smart Visualization
This upgraded version of the AI Assistant lets you:
- Ask natural language questions like “What campaigns had the highest engagement last quarter?”
- Instantly generate visualizations and freeform tables without setup
- Refine your queries with the help of smart clarifying questions
This feature accelerates insights for all users, especially those unfamiliar with Adobe Analytics or Customer Data Platforms.
Brand Brain: Context-Aware Analysis
Brand Brain interprets trends using external and internal signals:
- Public data (e.g., weather, CPI, macroeconomic trends)
- Internal sources (e.g., site changes, campaigns, new goals)
- Competitive movements (e.g., pricing shifts, product launches)
It supports structured and unstructured data and allows you to control variable weighting. The result: clearer, AI-driven customer behavior analysis rooted in your business context.
Data Summarizer: Share Insights at Speed
The Data Summarizer turns full workspaces—charts, tables, and metrics—into editable summaries.
- Choose summary depth for different audiences
- Share across teams quickly
- Make alignment on insights faster and simpler
Also Coming Soon: Additional AI Agents
Beyond the June 2025 rollout, Adobe Summit 2025 (watch the highlights video) revealed additional AI-powered agents designed to streamline customer journey mapping and adoption:
Incrementality Agent: Understand What’s Working—and Why
The Incrementality Agent helps evaluate marketing effectiveness:
- Compares converting vs. non-converting paths
- Uses root cause analysis (RCA) to explain what’s influencing outcomes
- Recommends next steps to improve conversion rates
This is a powerful step forward in predictive analytics in the customer journey.
Intelligent Schema Design Agent: Accelerate Your Foundations
This agent automates schema creation using a large language model and Adobe best practices:
- Accepts text prompts, CSVs, or JSON
- Builds scalable, reusable schemas for Adobe Experience Platform and Adobe Real-Time CDP
It helps teams implement faster, with less friction—setting the stage for long-term customer journey optimization.
Prepare Your Team for Adobe AI-Driven Success
