What is Octane AI Phoenix?

Phoenix is Octane AI's next-generation, AI-powered quiz builder, designed to make creating powerful, personalized shopping experiences easier than ever.

Instead of spending hours manually building questions, configuring complex logic, and designing individual pages, you can simply describe what you want to create and let Phoenix do the heavy lifting. From generating questions and building recommendation logic to customizing your design and checking for issues, Phoenix helps you turn an idea into a fully functional quiz in a fraction of the time.

The best part? You're always in control. You can build and customize your quiz through a conversation with AI, use the visual editor to fine-tune every detail, or combine both approaches.

Whether you're creating your first product recommendation quiz or building a complex, highly personalized shopping experience, Phoenix gives you the flexibility to bring your ideas to life without writing code.

What can you do with Phoenix AI?

  • Build quizzes with AI: Describe your quiz, and let Phoenix create questions, answers, product recommendations, and logic. If you already have documentation or a quiz plan, you can just upload it and tell Phoenix to build it for you.

  • Customize your design: Adjust colors, fonts, layouts, images, and other visual elements to match your brand.

  • Personalize recommendations: Recommend products based on shoppers' answers using AI-powered or custom recommendation logic.

  • Create dynamic content: Use Smart Copy and Smart Properties to personalize your results pages.

  • Preview and test: See how your quiz looks on different devices and check for issues before publishing.

  • Track performance: Use quiz analytics to understand customer behavior and improve your results.

  • Run AI-powered experiments: Let Phoenix analyze your quiz performance, suggest improvements, and run A/B tests to find what works best. Phoenix can automatically publish the winning version when the results are clear.

How to Build Quizzes with Phoenix AI

Phoenix makes it easy to go from an idea to a fully functional, personalized shopping quiz in a day. Whether you prefer working with AI or building everything yourself, you can create and customize your quiz in just a few steps.

1. Create your quiz

Start by creating a new quiz in your Octane AI dashboard. You can choose to Build with AI and simply describe what you want to create, or start from scratch using the visual editor.

With AI, you can also upload existing quiz plans or supporting documents to help Phoenix understand your goals. Phoenix will generate your quiz structure, questions, answers, and recommendation logic based on your instructions.

2. Customize your quiz

Once your quiz is created, you can make it your own. Use the AI assistant to describe the changes you'd like to make, or use the visual editor to adjust questions, layouts, images, colors, and other elements manually. You can also configure product recommendations, personalize results pages, and add conditional logic to create a more tailored shopping experience.

Tip: You can switch between AI assistance and manual editing at any time, giving you complete control over your quiz.

3. Preview and publish

Before publishing, use Preview to see how your quiz looks and works across different devices. Phoenix can also help identify potential issues with your quiz logic and structure using the Find issues feature. Once everything looks good, click Publish to make your quiz live and start sharing it with shoppers.

4. Analyze and optimize

Your work doesn't stop when your quiz goes live! Use Analytics to understand how customers interact with your quiz, track performance, and identify opportunities for improvement. With AI-powered Experiments, you can test different quiz experiences and discover which versions perform best.

What's next?

Now that you're familiar with Phoenix, you can explore more advanced features to make your quizzes even more powerful.

Here are some great places to start:

  • AI Smart Products: Create personalized product recommendations.

  • Jump Rules and Visibility Rules: Customize the quiz experience based on customer answers.

  • Smart Copy and Smart Properties: Generate dynamic content for your results pages.

  • Integrations: Connect your quiz to Klaviyo, Attentive, and other marketing tools.

You don't need to build a perfect quiz on your first attempt. Start with a simple quiz, preview the experience, and continue improving it as you learn more about your customers.
