Director of Customer Success, Zowie

Zowie is an attempt to automate much of that repetitive work. The technology automates 30% of customer service inquiries like “Where is my package”, “How to change my shipping address”, or “How do I make a return”.

The startup is now focused on leveraging the volume of interactions from its impressive customer base to train models that can deliver actionable insights for its customers. That way, its clients can not only reduce customer service costs, but identify new opportunities in its business.

The startup’s biggest challenge will be facing off intense competition in the chatbot-customer service space. However, while most of these players have parity on features, few have been able to compete with Zowie’s impressively quick setup speed, winning it major market share amongst startups and other fast-moving internet businesses.
