The core Conversica AI continues to learn and become more intelligent through every conversation it has with the over 60 million leads it has worked across company’s 1,300 paying clients worldwide. Built on Natural Language Processing and Understanding and Natural Language Generation, the AI assistants are able to solve the challenge of attaining consistent and persistent lead follow up for B2B and B2C companies across verticals all over the world. Clients such as Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, AT&T, Box, Fiat, and CenturyLink use Conversica for large-scale, autonomous lead follow up. Because Conversica works with lead follow up, it’s useful across all verticals, from tech companies, to insurance, to education and entertainment.

“As the leader in conversational AI for business, Conversica is thrilled to join the larger conversation on the rapidly changing landscape and capabilities of AI tools in the African and global market. AI is now ubiquitous in all business verticals, which is both exciting and overwhelming, and events like AI Expo Africa are integral in order to establish a knowledge-sharing community to support and empower business leaders to be their own expert on the AI tools that can fundamentally change their companies,” says Amelia Farber, Director of Global Partnerships at Conversica. Ms. Farber will be presenting the advances in conversational AI and the capabilities of Conversica virtual assistants at the upcoming event.

Conversational AI has advanced tremendously in the last 3-5 years and we now see capabilities of AI tools that are beyond what we imagined possible. Ultimately, what can be automated by AI, will be automated by AI. For example, conversations that we didn’t think could be automated are now fully realized with the Conversica AI assistants and we can now take mundane tasks like lead follow up and manage them with AI.
