This article analyzes the impact of predictive marketing based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in startups and SMEs, emphasizing its role in optimizing communication and sales strategies. Using a mixed-methodological approach that includes semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, significant improvements are identified in the personalization of customer interactions, as well as an average increase of 25,4% in conversion rates. The results indicate that companies adopting AI not only optimize resources and enhance their strategic capacity but also achieve a competitive advantage in an ever-evolving digital environment. Despite the benefits, ethical and organizational challenges are presented, such as the lack of skilled personnel and data management, necessitating solutions that promote ethical and effective implementation.
