Kustomer IQ, the company’s artificial intelligence engine, uses AI to automatically resolve high frequency customer service questions and eliminate time-consuming tasks. This allows customer service teams to focus on relationship building and resolving more complex issues, saving valuable time and resources. The company’s users found this particularly important during the pandemic, when customer service agents were being asked to do more with less from remote, distributed locations.

In May 2020, Kustomer expanded its self-service capabilities even further by acquiring Reply.ai. Reply.ai was ranked as one of Forrester’s Top 10 AI Providers for Customer Service Automation, leveraging sophisticated machine learning models to power incredibly accurate self-service chatbots and deflection tools. One growing food delivery business, Glovo, was able to defect an astounding 84% of high frequency requests without the need for live interaction with a service agent.

“We are so proud to name Kustomer as a winner in our inaugural Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards program”, said Maria Jimenez, chief nominations officer for Business Intelligence Group. “It was clear to our judges that Kustomer was using AI to improve the lives of their customers and employees. Congratulations to the entire team!”
