Introduction

Optimizely is a digital experience platform whose products include web experimentation, feature experimentation (server-side flags and tests), personalisation, a content management system and commerce. Its site positions it as an AI platform to create and optimise every digital experience.

Web Experimentation runs visual and code-based A/B tests in the browser; Feature Experimentation provides flags, rollouts and experiments through SDKs; and Optimizely’s Stats Engine reports results using sequential statistics. Opal, its AI layer, assists with workflows across products.
