Our take
Enterprises have to move and adapt quickly in order to keep their customers happy, but this isn't always easy. AB Tasty uses embedded AI and automation to help large-scale companies deliver best-in-class customer experiences.
AB Tasty serves a wide range of companies, but focuses largely on e-commerce, travel platforms and fashion retail websites. Their technology easily integrates into any website, and this ease-of-use is a big draw for enterprises. The company now serves around 900 clients, including Cartier, Disney and USA Today. This roster, along with AB Tasty's impressive funding success, are clear indicators that the company is performing well.
AB Tasty has successfully expanded into the US, with revenue there growing by 480% in just two years. The company continued forging partnerships and growing its product through the acquisition of AI-driven personalisation provider Epoq in the autumn of 2022, expanding its European customer base. 2023 was a big year for AB Tasty, showing more growth, moving to one platform and further expanding our reach into AI personalisation.
