What We're Building
With our bot-creation platform we tailor custom chatbots to meet customer’s needs. Our chatbots can be used to answer FAQs, generate and qualify leads, automate routine customer service, and allow end-users to self serve. Our platform is integrable with backend APIs and services, so that our chatbots can fetch data and perform tasks on the end-user's behalf. We follow the “one backend, many channels” architecture, so that the same chatbot may be deployed across a multitude of channels including Web, Integrated Voice Response (IVR), SMS, and many more.
We’re working on an all-in-one customer dashboard which includes features like analytics, live agent chat, and bot customization. With live agent chat, an end-user may be handed off directly from a chatbot to a live human agent, so that the the conversation may pick up right where it left off.
While we are industry agnostic, our primary target market is financial services, where we drive use cases like conversational banking.
