As part of its strategy to deliver a highly differentiated service experience to its customers, Bharti Airtel has acquired a strategic stake in Voicezen, an early stage start-up focused on conversational AI technologies."Apurba Nath, Founder of Voicezen, said that the startup helps brands deliver a better customer experience in Indian languages using 'Conversational AI'. "Having worked on AI solutions in the past, Voicezen knew what works well in a lab most often doesn't work in the real world, because either the training data is not large and relevant or the problem has little business significance," he added."Our partnership with Airtel helps us solve these challenges. With this strategic investment, we will work even more closely with them to continuously improve our AI models and build out an enterprise grade, battle hardened product that will make customer interactions more efficient, especially in this post-Covid world where business operations are facing large disruptions," he said.( With inputs from IANS )
