Passage AI, a leader in AI-powered conversational interfaces, announced it has extended its natural language understanding/processing (NLU/P) capabilities to support over 150 languages natively, including simplified and traditional Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese and Spanish. Companies can now offer near instant responses to customers around the globe in their native tongue.

“Passage AI-powered chatbots now enable 24/7 customer service responses for routine questions in all major languages, delivering a superior customer experience for consumers regardless of the language they speak,” said Ravi N. Raj, CEO and co-founder of Passage AI. “The world is flat, so it is not surprising that our customers, some of the largest brands in the world, want support for multiple languages. Our customers have reported 95 percent or higher accuracy in field tests, which analysts have said is the leading benchmark for AI-powered chatbots in any industry, but particularly important for customer-facing interfaces.”
