WASHINGTON, Dec. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ibex (NASDAQ: IBEX), a leading global provider of business process outsourcing (BPO) and customer engagement technology solutions, and Sapling.ai today announced a new partnership to leverage Sapling’s AI-powered messaging assistant technology as part of ibex’s award-winning Wave X platform to empower agents to deliver an even greater customer experience (CX), across diverse use cases.
Sapling’s language model-powered solutions generate relevant responses from a team response bank, provide deep learning-driven autocomplete suggestions across all messaging platforms, and offer a shared knowledge library for blazing fast search.
