Laybuy partners with fellow New Zealand company Ambit to launch conversational AI in a bid to support its international growth.

Conversational AI platform Ambit is hosting a webinar to develop understanding of the uses of digital employees to provide long-term company benefits.

The raise is intended to capitalise on trends accelerated by COVID-19, including the rapid adoption of messaging by consumers and 24/7 online shopping.

The  AI-based chatbot, called ’Wheelie’, is designed to support Online Republic’s Airport Rentals and Motorhome Republic brands with 24/7 customer support and AI capabilities.

A new partnership between Vodafone New Zealand and Ambit is bringing AI-based chatbots to Vodafone’s contact centre customers.

As the world starts to rebuild and reinvent itself, being proactive and implementing new methods of digital practice is essential to securing a position as a leading business in the new normal. 

“We look forward to partnering with Australian companies to ensure that they are well placed to be resilient to future change."

"It gives us an innovative way to extend Dynamics 365’s Customer Service functionality at a reasonably low cost to our customers, while driving a lot more efficiencies back to their businesses."

It’s no secret that in order to convert leads and maximise sales, companies need to connect with their prospects as quickly as possible.

“Conversation Agents present a huge opportunity to increase customer and employee engagement in a cost-effective manner."

Customers become emotionally invested and more loyal with brands that engage with them – but not all engagement methods are created equal.

Ambit is conceivably one of the youngest companies to receive the grant at ten months old.

Within the world of AI, bots are the most understandable application for executives from a deployment and business impact standpoint.
