Traditional A/B testing is slow. You need statistical significance, which means waiting for enough traffic. AI-powered testing promises faster results through smarter analysis. Here's what actually works.
Multi-armed bandit algorithms allocate traffic dynamically. Instead of 50/50 splits, they shift traffic toward winners as data accumulates. You sacrifice some statistical purity for faster time-to-decision and less lost revenue from showing losing variants.
AI analysis finds insights humans miss. Beyond "A beat B," AI can identify segments where B actually won, interaction effects between experiments, and seasonal patterns that affect results. The synthesis is often more valuable than the headline result.
Automated experiment generation is emerging. AI suggests variations based on what's worked historically, competitor analysis, and best practices. You still approve experiments, but the ideation bottleneck loosens.
