Abstract
Introduction: artificial intelligence (AI) is often presented as a path to personalize relationships and build customer loyalty, yet the chain linking technology, personalization, experience and loyalty is rarely examined link by link. Objective: to analyze, in the scientific literature, the relationships among AI in marketing, personalization, customer experience and loyalty. Methods: qualitative, exploratory integrative review, with searches in Google Scholar, SciELO and the CAPES Portal and complementary reference literature. Results: AI expands data analysis, segmentation, recommendation and service, and personalization can make experience more convenient and relevant; moving to loyalty, however, depends on privacy, perceived value and trust, and direct evidence linking AI personalization to loyalty is scarce. Conclusion: the article proposes a three-gate conceptual scheme and four testable propositions.
