DataSine

DataSine was a London-based AI personalization startup, founded in 2015 and backed by Techstars, that applied machine learning and behavioral psychology to help marketers tailor content, imagery, and copy to audience personality traits. The company was acquired by Shutterstock and folded into Shutterstock's AI/creative-intelligence work; its datasine.com domain is now registered to Shutterstock, Inc. (MarkMonitor) and HTTP 301-redirects to shutterstock.ai. DataSine no longer operates an independent product or a developer/API surface, so this profile is retained as an acquired-company record rather than an active provider awaiting API artifacts.

DataSine is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Personalization, and Marketing.
