A Composable CDP is built on top of your existing data warehouse rather than creating a separate data store. Hightouch reads directly from Snowflake, BigQuery, or Databricks, ensuring your data stays in one secure place while giving marketers self-service access—unlike traditional CDPs that require data migration and create data silos.
What data warehouses does Hightouch support?
Hightouch supports all major data warehouses including Snowflake, Google BigQuery, Databricks, AWS Redshift, and Azure Synapse as data sources.
How does Hightouch's AI Decisioning work?
AI Decisioning uses reinforcement learning to analyze individual customer behavior and context, then automatically determines the optimal content, channel, and timing for each person—delivering truly 1:1 personalization across lifecycle marketing campaigns at scale.
What is the Agentic Marketing Platform (AMP)?
AMP is Hightouch's suite of AI agents that act autonomously on behalf of marketers. These agents can surface insights from data, generate and assemble campaign content using existing brand assets, and execute personalized campaigns—dramatically expanding a marketing team's capacity.
