With Buzzo, Haptik brings the simplicity of an in-store assisted experience to apps and websites, navigating through the variety of product choices using a voice enabled interface. In the post pandemic era, according to Forrester Research, e-commerce sales have grown by 20% in the US and digital is now the default way of shopping for most millennials.

Buzzo uses Haptik’s cutting edge NLU combined with product meta data such as filters, reviews, pricing, tags, etc. to understand a user’s requirements spoken in colloquial language and provide recommendations similar to an in store sales agent.
