Efficient

A virtual agent provides the quickest way to give customers the answers they need, using natural conversation. Nina understands complex questions and delivers the right solution without leaving your customer to choose between options.

Consistent

The Nuance NLU technology allows you to offer a consistent experience across digital channels: web or mobile browsers, inside your app, via SMS, messaging apps like Facebook Messenger or home speakers like the Amazon Echo. This ensures the quality of service your customers expect.

Enterprise-ready

Nina is built for large enterprises, supporting each company’s unique brand, data privacy and security, and system integration requirements to deliver complete solutions and high ROI. Nina allows a faster time to market with pre-loaded, industry- and business-specific knowledge and expertise.

Engage the right visitor at the right time

Features

The intelligent virtual assistant

Nina learns, understands and keeps up with everything your customers do.

Natural conversation

Nina’s ability to understand complex questions ensures that your customers receive the right answer, always and wherever they are. Nina recognises the intent of your customer’s inquiry with high accuracy, personalises responses based on context and troubleshoots using conversational strategies like answering social questions, reacting appropriately during customer frustration and escalating to a live chat agent, if needed.

Smarter Learning

Nina Coach leverages our artificial intelligence technology by utilising a combination of machine learning and Natural Language Understanding which enables Nina to be trained with industry-specific knowledge and your unique business data for a faster time to market with a more confident virtual assistant. Optimisation during conversations with your customers and new information learned by observing the human colleague are automatically fed back into the system to make your virtual agent even smarter over time.

Seamless integration

Nina is designed once and can then be deployed in any digital channel immediately or later on. That avoids the typical siloed application development that is usually seen on the market. In addition, Nina Coach seamlessly integrates into human-assisted engagements by either consolidating with a hidden coach or transferring all important data when switching to live chat, ensuring that the user experience is never interrupted.

Secure

Nina ID uses secure multi-factor authentication through biometric voice recognition to ensure your customers are who they say they are without ever leaving the virtual agent conversation. They can be automatically authenticated by saying a simple spoken passphrase or taking a selfie. Nina ID adds an unmatched level of security and fraud prevention to conversations happening on your website, within messaging apps and even via SMS.
