“Studio’s vendor agnostic interface gives users greater flexibility and choice in launching AI-powered self-service applications,” said Callan Schebella, Inference Solutions CEO. “Businesses choose Inference because they get access to the latest advancements without being locked into a single vendor, and our user-friendly platform gives them complete control of their applications. We are proud to receive this 2020 AI Breakthrough Award as validation of the platform’s success and innovation.”
Studio also includes a Task Library of pre-built templates that businesses and service providers can customize to deploy natural language IVA applications, such as credit card payments, change of address or frequently asked questions. Applications can also be built from scratch using drag and drop tools. Additionally, service providers can publish their own templates to the Task Library, enabling them to bring IVAs to market at multiple price points, and build differentiated “bundled solutions” into their offerings.
