InnoCells executive director Julio Martínez said: “Our investment in Active.Ai will take us one step closer to applying this technology in practice, which is difficult given the high level of vertical specialisation that is required, and will allow us to implement solutions that strengthen Banco Sabadell’s commitment to customer experience.”

The Spanish bank believes that the technology of Active.Ai will enable it to streamline costs by automating functions and designing interfaces for effective client engagement.

Active.Ai CEO and co-founder Ravishankar said: “Digital customer engagement is going through a transformational shift globally with AI enabled interfaces, driving engaging, predictive and contextual conversations with customers.

“Active.Ai is privileged to partner with Banco Sabadell and InnoCells’ teams to bring an intuitive and engaging digital experience to their customers.”
