Administrators must grant users access to Optimizely Opal.

Opal is enabled by default for eligible customers, but users do not have access until an administrator enables it for each individual using Opti ID. For steps, see Get started with Optimizely Opal for Admins.

Optimizely Opal lets you generate AI-powered suggested content in the Visual Editor for any existing copy on a page. This feature applies to any text-based element to test recommended alternatives. To increase conversions, you can fine-tune your web page's brand positioning, product descriptions, or CTAs. View a demo and learn how to use this feature.

This feature is supported in multiple languages and can process text of up to 8,000 tokens (approximately 6,000 words).

If you use Opti ID, administrators can turn off generative AI in the Opti ID Admin Center. See Turn generative AI off across Optimizely applications.
