Historically, creating these conversational interfaces has required specialist skills, significant resources and a great deal of time. However, Teneo’s advanced machine learning capabilities automatically writes the complex underlying language code and algorithms that simulate the way a human thinks. “Most industries are experiencing a continuous increase in the frequency of the interactions with customers. They demand easy access to information and instant availability from brands to help with straightforward and customized requests,” said Lawrence Flynn, Chief Executive Officer, Artificial Solutions. “We are very proud to be able to partner with Teleperformance.
