The following Pilot features are available in the Airship dashboard as of the March 2026 release.
Customizable Home page reports view

When done, select Save changes. You can change the page title from the default “Home” before applying the changes.
Intelligent Rollouts
Intelligent Rollouts identify and distribute your best-performing message variant automatically. This eliminates the manual effort of A/B testing and minimizes exposure to less effective variants. They are powered by reinforcement learning (multi-armed bandit) to dynamically optimize for the winning variant.
Setting up an Intelligent Rollout is the same as an A/B test, but with two differences:
Variant allocation — In the Audience step, you do not set variant allocation. Instead, the system handles distribution based on live engagement, dividing your audience into sequential batches and using engagement data from each batch to intelligently adjust the distribution of the next batch.
Scheduling — There is an added Schedule step, where you determine when to start the test and set a send window. By learning from user engagement in real time during the send window, the system shifts your audience toward the winning variant, maximizing performance so more users see your most effective content.
With Pilot enabled, you can access both A/B tests and Intelligent Rollouts by going to Experiments, then Message Experiments.
Try it:
- First, select the Create dropdown menu (), then Intelligent Rollout. Or you can go to Experiments, then Message Experiments, select Add experiment, and then Intelligent Rollout.
- Set up your variants and audience as you would for an A/B test, except without the variant allocation step. See Create a message A/B test.
- Go to Schedule and set a send window of between 6 and 24 hours, and then determine whether to start the experiment immediately or at a specific date and time.
- Select Start to launch your experiment.
Go to Results to view variant distribution during the send window, conversion rates, and the Probability to Be Best (PTBB) to understand the statistical confidence of the rollout.
