Summary and Future
I asked Claude to provide a summary of my essay.
- Evolution of Digital Interfaces:
- Websites have been central to digital interactions since the 1990s.
- Mobile apps revolutionized digital engagement from 2007 onwards.
- Push channels like email, SMS, and WhatsApp have faced challenges with clutter and engagement.
- Challenges with Current Interfaces:
- Websites: Information overload, personalization at scale, mobile optimization.
- Apps: User acquisition and retention, push notification fatigue, app store visibility.
- Inboxes: Deliverability, engagement, privacy concerns, cross-channel consistency.
- Focus on Two New Interfaces:
- AI Agents
- Epps (Email Apps)
- AI Agents:
- Transform websites and apps into intuitive, conversational platforms.
- Provide personalized interactions based on user’s journey and preferences.
- Offer proactive assistance and seamless transactions.
- Epps:
- Leverage AMP technology to create interactive, app-like experiences within emails.
- Enable self-contained actions without leaving the email.
- Transform emails into platforms for engagement, education, and commerce.
- Benefits of AI Agents and Epps:
- Reduce friction in customer journeys.
- Enhance personalization and user engagement.
- Streamline interactions and improve conversion rates.
- Create deeper, more meaningful brand-customer relationships.
- Future Outlook:
- AI Agents and Epps will work complementarily to reshape user engagement.
- They will create a unified, intelligent interaction layer across digital touchpoints.
- This new frontier promises to transform customer engagement and drive brand loyalty.

In the emerging landscape of digital marketing and customer engagement, the convergence of Large Customer Models (LCMs), Co-Marketer, Digital Twins, and E3 (Email 3.0) innovations can create a transformative ecosystem for brand-customer interactions. This new world is characterised by hyper-personalization, predictive engagement, and seamless, multi-channel experiences.
Large Customer Models serve as the foundational AI, aggregating and analysing vast amounts of customer data to generate deep insights into behaviours, preferences, and trends. These models power the personalisation engines that drive tailored experiences across all touchpoints. Digital Twins, both for individual customers and customer segments, act as virtual representations that simulate and predict behaviour. They enable the Co-Marketer to test strategies, anticipate needs, and craft highly personalised experiences in real-time.
E3 innovations, particularly Epps (Email Apps) and ActionAds, transform the email inbox from a static communication channel into a dynamic, interactive platform. Epps bring app-like functionality directly into emails, while ActionAds enable frictionless, in-email conversions (and new revenues).
AI Agents, powered by these technologies, serve as intelligent interfaces across websites and apps, providing conversational, context-aware interactions that anticipate and fulfil customer needs proactively.
The synergy of these elements creates a brand-customer world where:
- Every interaction is personalised and contextually relevant.
- Brands can anticipate and meet customer needs before they’re explicitly expressed.
- The lines between different channels (email, web, app) blur, creating a unified, seamless experience.
- Customer engagement becomes more interactive, immersive, and value-driven.
- Marketing evolves from transactional to relational, fostering deeper brand loyalty.
This ecosystem enables brands to create “hotlines” with their customers, driving higher engagement, conversion, and retention rates. It addresses the challenges of attention recession and AdWaste by delivering more relevant, timely, and valuable interactions.
Ultimately, this new brand-customer world promises to revolutionise marketing, shifting focus from acquisition to retention, and enabling brands to build stronger, more profitable relationships with their customers. It represents a significant step towards the Profipoly vision, where brands can achieve exponential forever profitable growth through deep, technology-enabled customer relationships.
