Cordial, an agentic messaging platform with an embedded customer data platform (CDP), has launched a headless version of its CDP. Marketers can now explore and visualise real-time customer data from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or custom AI agents. The move spares marketers from switching between systems to understand audiences and launch campaigns. Boot Barn, Torrid, and other enterprises already use it to find audiences and get next-best-action recommendations from their AI assistants. Users can also combine Cordial data with systems such as Google Analytics, Shopify, Snowflake, and Salesforce Commerce Cloud. The launch follows Cordial's headless AI infrastructure release in June. "Our headless CDP puts real-time customer data where work happens," said chief executive officer Jeremy Swift.

Cordial launches headless CDP, bringing real-time customer data to where marketers work. October 29, 2026 Cordial's embedded CDP is now headless, giving marketers access to real-time customer data from the AI assistants they already use SAN DIEGO, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Cordial, the only agentic messaging platform with an embedded customer data platform (CDP), today launched its headless CDP, the latest step in Cordial's move to a fully headless marketing platform. Marketers can now explore and visualize real-time customer data from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or custom agents. Marketers are increasingly working in Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and custom AI agents. However, much of their customer data and marketing tools are tied to individual platforms and interfaces, forcing them to switch between systems to understand their audience, identify opportunities, and launch campaigns. Brands like Boot Barn, Torrid, and other enterprises are already using Cordial's headless CDP to explore audiences and draw on AI models to surface opportunities and recommend next-best actions, directly from the AI assistants they're already working from. Rather than being tied to a single platform's interface, headless systems like Cordial's MCP let marketers work across their stack from one AI assistant. With traditional CDPs and legacy systems, marketers have historically been unable to explore customer data alongside data from across their systems, including Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, Shopify, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Databricks, or Snowflake. The headless CDP makes this now possible. The launch builds on Cordial's headless AI infrastructure release in June, advancing the company's vision to become the open decision and execution system for marketing. "The legacy marketing clouds desire a world where you're tethered to their systems and interfaces. Even charging you more for access to their MCP. This aligns with what's valuable for them, but not what's valuable for marketers or, frankly, the future of how work will get done," said Jeremy Swift, CEO at Cordial. "Our headless CDP puts real-time customer data where work happens, helping marketers make decisions faster, act sooner, and, ultimately, drive more revenue." With the launch of its headless CDP, Cordial gives marketers the ability to: * Turn customer data into action from your AI assistant: Use Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or any custom agent to plan personalized programs grounded in real-time Cordial data. * Find your next high-value audience: Get recommendations for increasing customer lifetime value by building smarter audiences, based on AI attributes like category affinities, discount score, or purchase propensity. * Proactively surface revenue opportunities: Analyze millions of permutations across all your customer, product, and message data to spot patterns manual analysis would miss and recommend campaigns, segments, and offers most likely to drive purchases. * Make smarter decisions by combining data across your stack: Connect Cordial data with commerce, analytics, and data warehouse systems to make informed decisions on increasing margins, reducing excess inventory, or unlock new revenue streams. "Marketers should be able to choose where they work, and increasingly, that's in Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or their own AI agents," said Matt Howland, president and chief product and engineering officer at Cordial. "AI is setting a new pace for innovation, and that's the pace we're building for. By bringing Cordial into the AI tools marketers are already using, we're helping iconic brands keep marketing programs moving as fast as AI."
