AI-Powered Digital Employees

Product Genius Transforms How Small Businesses Connect with Customers

Amid labor shortages, small businesses are turning to AI solutions like Product Genius, an AI-powered digital employee platform that revolutionizes how they connect with customers.

"Right now, people walk in and out of stores, and businesses don't know what they're thinking. Visitors browse websites, but companies can't see what customers really want or how they're thinking about their problems," says Ken Gavranovic, CEO of Product Geniu, "Loyalty programs only tell you if customers come back, and surveys are getting less engagement."

Product Genius helps small and medium businesses recruit AI-powered digital employees in stores, on websites and with deliveries to engage customers in natural questions and gather insights. Going above and beyond chatbots, these AI-driven assistants operate like top-notch employees and use advanced AI to understand context, learn from interactions and drive growth, all while prioritizing data security and privacy.
