Pertimm has detected a growing demand from internet users and buyers for neutral and privacy-friendly services and for platforms that support fast and cost-effective chatbots development. This year, the French company launched successfully its platform based on artificial intelligence and natural language processing. Viky.ai is now opened to everybody and the users can freely take advantage of this new system.
Things are changing, and quickly. Companies are starting to have a more conversational approach online using messaging, digital assistants, chat apps and automated, machine learning dialogue to engage with the consumer. Voice and natural-language understanding are suddenly at the forefront and, at the same time, conversational commerce, a.k.a. conversional shopping, is a trend emerged from the use of voice search via mobile personal assistants.
Viky.ai main objective is to accelerate the use of the first European multilingual vocal assistant, collaborative, open source platform for e-commerce, as first segment market, that guarantees Human Machine Communication (HMC), whereas granting independency of GAFAs (Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon) data treatment and privacy.
The French company designed an open source platform where users can create and share semantic bricks that will help them to analyse texts in any language. With viky.ai, users can develop natural language while processing these semantic bricks, named viky.ai’s agents, without a single line of code. The new platform provides a unique codeless user interface, with a new way to create semantic modules that are easy to integrate through API into the user system.
“Viky.ai’s agents are systems that allow users to talk with a machine using artificial intelligence. For example, it is possible to automate tasks thanks to the information that an intelligent agent will search for itself. This field is growing, driven by continuing advances in artificial intelligence”, explained Patrick Constant, the CEO of the company Pertimm during an interview to the journal GPO.fr.
Pertimm, the French company that is pushing viky.ai as an open source platform, has more than 21 years of experience in artificial intelligence and provides B2B semantic search solutions, with customers such as SoLocal, Leclerc, Cora, Showroomprivé, Clubmed, UCPA, Promod.
