Artificial intelligence has come a long way and now is after mobile app development. With the wealth of technology advances, the era of generic mobile apps is waning. App complexity is the new trend. The reason behind that is mobile disruption, complex business processes mobile apps have been developed for, and the end-users’ tech-savviness.
What is clearly understood is this: both clients and end-users want to get out-of-the-box solutions fueled by the latest technology. User-centric experiences, content personalization, accuracy and speed – and all rolled into one. This is how global tech leaders and trendsetters paint a picture of a modern successful mobile app. The question is, how to create an app with features that will separate it from the rest of the apps in the mobile app market? The answer is – develop an AI-powered mobile app. AI (Artificial Intelligence), as a disruptive technology, proves useful to mobile app development. To get a grasp of how technology can empower your mobile app in 2020, let’s dig a little deeper.
Why Use AI in Mobile App Development?
The world is rapidly changing, so as the technologies are. What was on the hype just a few years ago, today is a thing of the past. The same can be said about mobile apps, too. To put it succinctly, if your mobile app is nothing out of the ordinary, it neither will reach the top charts nor increase your revenue. To get users hooked on it and get profit from downloads, use the power of Artificial intelligence.
Personalization Engine
The user-centric approach and personalized services are the basal factors for the success of any AI-powered mobile app. Thanks to the potential of AI, the personalization of user experience is becoming easier. Based on user preferences and previous history, the personalization engine delivers highly customized experiences catered to the specific users in real time. AI gears up cross-channel data analysis for greater content personalization and in-app product recommendations. AI-powered mobile apps are prone to create custom visuals and messaging depending on each user’s behavior and the history of transactions. These are the factors that not only curate perfect user experiences but retain users and boost purchases. If used wisely, they can make your mobile app impossible to put down for users, and prosperous business for you.
Recommendation Systems
With the global market in need of predictive solutions, AI technology comes to the fore. Today, recommendation systems are a must-have component of any successful mobile app in the market. ‘Other Movies You May Enjoy’ on Netflix and ‘For You’ on Apple Music, ‘People You May Know’ on LinkedIn – these are the famous examples of recommendation systems in use. And there’s more to it. Depending on the industry, recommendations may come in different shapes and sizes – from recommending ‘Books You May Like’ onto suggesting the user browse further or not. The latter often comes as ‘Genres and Moods’, ‘By Category’, ‘On-Sale Product Recommendations’, ‘Movies of the Day’, and more.

Considering the ever-growing demand for recommendation systems in AI-powered mobile apps, they are highly unlikely to be out of fashion soon. So, if you put personalized experiences first, you should give a recommendation system a go.
AI-Based Search Engine
Visual search coupled with system recommendations offers plenty of opportunities to serve the user better. Visual search engines focus on the searcher’s needs and show the user products they are intent on buying, while recommendation engines offer products they might like.
If you want to create an app that scales, make a shift from text search to voice search. It is fast, convenient, interactive, and saves plenty of time. Using speech recognition technology, the user can play their favorite songs, order food or medicine online near them, check on air traffic, set reminders, and many more.
Both visual and voice searches are the ultimate game-changer in mobile app development, and it is here to stay. So, leveraging this technology might be a great investment in your AI-powered mobile app.
Image Recognition Technologies
Image recognition, another important tenet of artificial intelligence, makes it possible to identify objects or people in a picture or a video. Today, computer and machine vision are a catalyst for successful app development. Both technologies help develop AI-powered mobile apps with fast and accurate image recognition.

From Entertainment and Retail to Sports and Healthcare, image recognition technology has flattened it all. And it has great potential to transform the mobile app market, too. If you want to bring your A-game, try implementing face or object recognition into your app.
User Data Extraction and Analysis
Any app that has something to do with data, is ripe for AI. A great number of mobile app development companies and marketing agencies already utilize the power of AI to extract and analyze large amounts of user data. What does AI in mobile technology mean to them? Pretty much everything. Having tons of data in place is like having a Swiss Army knife in your pocket. Just imagine that you don’t have to spend your time understanding user behavior and transactional data on your own anymore. With the help of data extraction and analysis, it will be easier for you to get a grasp of what your users are passionate about, gravitating towards, and simply can’t stand.
The take away from this story is that If the user data is dealt in the right way, it results in enhanced customer experiences and greater sales.
