American City Business Journals, which operates more than 40 business publications across the country, has launched an artificial intelligence tool called BizNotify that finds information from its news content.

A Business Journals story states, “BizNotify is a mobile and web application that leverages artificial intelligence and the wealth of content produced by ACBJ newsrooms across the U.S. to simplify the business development process. The app helps sales professionals connect with prospects quickly and effectively — saving time and effort.

“BizNotify users can upload their professional contacts to the app via LinkedIn, Salesforce, HubSpot or any other CRM system. The app then searches for any news about those connections and uses AI to generate timely, personalized messages that can be sent directly from the app. The result: faster outreach, stronger relationships, and more closed deals.

“‘BizNotify operates at the intersection of people and content, and it offers our audience a powerful way to capitalize on the insightful and timely stories our editorial teams create across the 44 markets we serve,’ said Mike Olivieri, executive vice president and president, Local Markets of American City Business Journals. ‘Then, through the use of AI, the app makes it easier than ever for busy professionals to connect and engage in ways that help them grow businesses, advance their careers and simplify their professional lives.'”
