GoKawiilEkta Chopra, the company’s chief technology and AI officer, helped launch ‘E.l.fluencer,’ a program that lets community managers use AI to respond more quickly to every query the company gets on social media. E.l.f. Beauty’s posts on TikTok and Instagram receive hundreds if not thousands of comments when they go online. Often, the comments include questions about when a product is launching, how the product compares to other E.l.f. offerings, or what type of skin or hair it’s appropriate for. To answer shoppers’ questions in real time, the company created an AI tool called E.l.f.luencer—trained on the company’s stylebook and years of human-written social comments—that autogenerates responses to comments left by consumers on social media platforms.

As AI becomes more embedded in brand communication, it signals a shift towards more responsive and scalable social media management in the tech industry.
