Company mission

To develop voice assistants that strive to understand everybody, no matter who they are or how they speak.

48% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

AI-driven customer service has spread quickly in recent years, but tends to involve rather limited automated voice and chatbots. PolyAI builds and deploys voice assistants for automating customer services, which sound like real humans.

This helps companies get an infinite and cheaper supply of their best human voice operators, which reduces customer waiting times, and increases customer satisfaction and retention. PolyAI stands out against rivals as its voice assistant can go live more quickly, in more languages, and it charges on a per-minute basis.

PolyAI clients include FedEx, PG&E, Caesars, Marriott and Unicredit. Available in the US and the UK, the company has made significant strides in its expansion efforts in both regions. It has also raised considerable funding towards further growth in the coming years.
