Aigo’s Advanced AI Personal Assistant Brings a Custom User Experience to Blockchain Ticketing Solutions From Artos

Aigo.ai and Artos.io announced a strategic relationship combining AI and blockchain technologies to integrate Aigo’s voice assistant capabilities into Artos’s ticket wallet service, which can be integrated into existing ticketing software or provided to clients as a white label app.

While users are within the ticket wallet, Aigo will be able to assist by offering personalized recommendations for events and concerts coming up in their area, offering users a curated experience and giving Artos clients an increased opportunity for cross-selling tickets. The assistant may also be used to guide first-time users through the process of using the wallet, acting as first line-of-contact for customer support.

Aigo adds to a key set of capabilities that Artos offers ticketing organizations via their blockchain-based services. Working with ticketing agencies and ticketing software providers, Artos leverages the Aventus Protocol open ticketing standard, built on Ethereum, to ensure existing apps become blockchain-ready and create new complementary apps and services. One example includes Artos’s white label ticket wallet, an intuitive user-interface designed to allow consumers to purchase tickets that are held on the blockchain.

We expect a rapid expansion of the Aventus Protocol ecosystem, and ticket buyers, ticket agents and event organizers who work with Artos to leverage the blockchain will find Aigo a complementary and personalized method for bringing the right tickets, at the right price, to fans across the world.”
