2.2. Key Components Powering Generative AI

The effectiveness of generative AI stems from several
advanced technologies that work together to process
data, recognize patterns, and produce human-like
outputs. These key components include Natural
Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML),
and Deep Learning.
• Natural Language Processing (NLP): NLP is a
segment of AI that deals with the interaction of
computers and humans in natural- language form.

customer is regularly buying beauty products, the AI

organizations rely on legacy CRM systems that
may not be compatible with modern AI
technologies. Overcoming such technical barriers
requires data compatibility and system
interoperability for generative AI to be effectively
integrated within the systems. This may require the
organization to invest in system upgrades,
middleware solutions, or custom integrations to
provide seamless integration of AI capabilities
with existing CRM infrastructure.
