This update makes your popup campaigns smarter, faster, and more personalized than ever. We’ve put the power of AI directly in your hands, helping you reduce manual effort and deliver campaigns that are more relevant and effective.

Here’s what’s new.

AI Editor (Beta)

AI Editor

The new AI Editor helps you create and customize your campaigns easier and faster by turning your instructions into copy, design elements, or entire campaigns. Think of it as your personal assistant for popup creation.

Here’s how it works:

Simply tell the AI what you want to change in plain language, for example:

  • Change 10% off to 15% off
  • Make all CTA buttons red
  • Move the ‘No thanks’ button below the ‘Claim offer’ button
  • Increase the font size of ‘You’re in!’
  • Make the image smaller

The AI will adapt based on your specifications, allowing you to optimize your campaign with ease and without manual effort.

As this is a new, cutting-edge tool, it’s available as a beta feature. If you’d like us to enable it for your account, simply reach out to our support team at support@optimonk.com, and we’ll activate it for you.

AI Popups

AI popups

AI Popups create 1:1 experiences for every visitor, helping you boost conversions instantly.

Here’s how they work: 

With OptiMonk’s AI image generation, you can transform simple product photos into high-impact visuals that dynamically adapt to the exact product, page, or visitor context. These visuals can also be adjusted for seasonal moments like Black Friday or Valentine’s Day.

Once the AI images are generated, you can embed them in your popups for a fully personalized experience, tailored to the exact page or product being viewed. 

Plus, the AI will craft catchy, relevant headlines that speak directly to each visitor. This way, you can create 1:1 popup experiences that adapt to your visitors’ interests and actions, making them feel unique and relevant.

AI Product Page Optimization

With our improved AI Product Page Optimization, you can supercharge your product pages by automatically generating high-converting visuals and copy, tailored to each product.

Here’s how it works:

  • AI-generated product images: Enhance your product photos by placing them in realistic environments or seasonal contexts, helping shoppers better imagine the product and increasing visual relevance.
  • AI-generated headlines and benefit lists: Let AI create attention-grabbing headlines and clear, persuasive benefit lists that align with visitor intent, boosting engagement and conversion rates.
  • AI automatically adds content to multiple product pages: Easily apply these optimized images and copy across hundreds of product pages automatically, ensuring consistency and quality throughout your entire catalog.

Embedded preview

Have you ever thought about launching an embedded campaign, but weren’t sure how it would actually look on your website? Or wanted quick feedback from your team before making it live?

With Embedded preview, you can now generate a live preview link that shows your campaign embedded directly on your site, without turning it on for visitors.

This means you can:

  • See precisely how the campaign appears in its real environment
  • Share a preview link with teammates or decision-makers for fast approval
  • Catch layout or UX issues early, before launch

No more guesswork, or screenshots. Get a clear, accurate preview of your embedded campaign, exactly as it will appear to users, before it goes live.

Reconstructed TipTap editor

TipTap Editor

We’ve rebuilt the TipTap editor to make content formatting faster, simpler, and more intuitive.

You can now easily adjust font type, font size, and spacing directly in the editor and create bullet points and numbered lists with just a few clicks.

This means:

  • Faster content editing, because you have all the necessary editing tools at your disposal right where you need them
  • Cleaner layouts with consistent formatting
  • More time to focus on messaging, not styling

New Winter templates

Winter templates

We’ve expanded our template library with a new theme, which includes Winter templates.

These templates aren’t just visually modern, they’re built to be brand-ready. You can easily customize them with your logo and brand colors, ensuring every campaign feels consistent with your identity.

Deeper platform integrations: WooCommerce, Gomag, MerchantPro

Deeper Platform Integrations

We’ve rolled out deeper integrations and updated capabilities across multiple ecommerce platforms to help you increase conversions with less manual effort.

You can now sync your product catalog with OptiMonk in just a few clicks on WooCommerce, Gomag, and MerchantPro. This eliminates manual data handling and enables OptiMonk to automatically understand what to show, when, and to whom, based on real visitor behavior.

Once your catalog is connected, you can use dynamic product recommendations that adapt to each visitor’s journey:

  • Popular products for first-time visitors
  • Recently viewed items for returning visitors
  • Forgotten products for cart abandoners

Targeting is now more precise across all supported platforms. Instead of reacting only to cart activity, you can trigger campaigns based on specific products and categories. This allows you to move from generic messaging to product-level targeting.

Coming soon: Animated Popups

Animated Popups

We’re bringing an exciting new feature soon that will let you add engaging animations to your popups! 

With Animated Popups, you’ll be able to make buttons vibrate, create smooth slide-ins, or highlight text and elements, all designed to enhance user experience and grab your visitors’ attention.

Get ready to elevate your popups and create more interactive, eye-catching experiences!
