As of early 2026, AI significantly improves email open rates by dynamically optimising subject lines and send times based on individual recipient behaviour and predictive analytics. Current systems include machine learning algorithms that analyse vast datasets to determine what resonates with each contact, moving beyond simple segmentation.
- Predictive Subject Line Optimisation: AI tests multiple subject line variations, predicting which will achieve the highest open rate for *each* recipient.
- Personalised Send Time Optimisation: Algorithms identify the optimal time to deliver emails to individuals, considering their past engagement patterns.
- Content Personalisation (Preview Text): AI dynamically generates personalised preview text, extending the subject line’s impact.
- Suppression of Unengaged Contacts: AI identifies and automatically suppresses contacts showing consistently low engagement, improving sender reputation.
In 2026, Australian businesses must also consider evolving privacy regulations like the ongoing refinements to the Privacy Act. Current systems include robust data anonymisation and consent management features to ensure compliance with Australian standards, and ROI.com.au’s platform is fully updated to reflect these changes. Furthermore, deliverability is increasingly impacted by ISP filtering, and AI-powered systems now features advanced bounce handling and authentication protocols (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) to maintain a strong sending reputation with providers like Telstra and Optus.
