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 no matter where they are. Nina recognizes the intent of your customer’s inquiry with high accuracy, personalizes 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. By enabling multimedia content as part of your customer engagement, you can target your visitors with videos, offers and more – and give them a truly personalized online customer service experience.

Smarter Learning

Nina Coach leverages our artificial intelligence technology by utilizing 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. Optimization 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 multifactor 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.
