Airship also describes no-code tools for building experiences without developers, AI agents that suggest ongoing improvements, and app store optimization and onboarding features for acquiring new customers.
Airship is a hosted software-as-a-service product with no self-hosted edition. Its listed use cases include acquisition, onboarding, upsell and cross-sell, retargeting, churn prevention and win-back campaigns, aimed at brands in industries such as retail and media and entertainment.
