Reply’s customers include The Cosmopolitan Of Las Vegas, Vail Resorts, Honeywell, Glovo and Paula’s Choice.  It appears that Reply.ai will continue to operated under Reply.ai by Kustomer branding and capabilities of its platform will be integrated directly with Kustomer’s existing Kustomer IQ product.

“We believe artificial intelligence is essential to helping today’s enterprises scale customer service and efficiently deliver exceptional results.  We recently rolled out Kustomer IQ to meet the growing need for companies to have access to the power of AI, and with today’s acquisition, we continue our investment in bringing self-service tools and intelligence capabilities to our clients,” said Brad Birnbaum, CEO and Cofounder of Kustomer.

Reply has built deflection and self-service chatbots that help companies effectively deflect initial customer communications at an astounding rate of 40 percent. This means that almost half of all initial customer communications can be successfully resolved without requiring live interaction with a service agent, bringing greater efficiency to the entire customer service function.  We are excited to welcome co-founders Omar and Pablo Pera and the entire Reply team of world-class data scientists and engineers to the Kustomer Krew. – Brad Birnbaum
