Aivo develops virtual customer service agents that intelligently recognize, interpret, and respond to written client questions across diverse digital channels. AgentBot, Aivo's chat-based virtual agent, differentiates itself with personality and strong linguistic ability in deciphering written Spanish across its regional complexity. Aivo's virtual agents typically complement a company's existing customer service infrastructure by serving as a first point of contact effective at providing basic information and channeling inquiries to the appropriate people. As the first company to offer virtual agent technology that successfully supports Spanish, Aivo is the leader in the Latin American market. Bankingly enables financial inclusion-focused financial institutions (e.g. credit unions, cooperatives, small banks, microfinance institutions) to provide digital channels to their customers. By integrating with a financial institution's core banking system, Bankingly extends an institution's banking capabilities to be digital. This means that whatever an institution's customers can do at a branch or over the phone, they can do through web or mobile apps. Through its Software-as-a-Service model, Bankingly also provides a back-office portal for financial institutions to manage their channels' operations, customer communications, cross-selling and more.
