We’re redefining the relationship between humans and machines.
Empowering you to create digital companion agents for your products.
The human-machine relationship is evolving
Up until now, our relationship with technology has been primarily command-based for utilitarian purposes. With today’s advancing artificial intelligence, that’s all about to change. Now more than ever, people want products that are personalized and easy to use, fully understand them and anticipate their needs.
Introducing: Digital Companions
Unlike digital assistants, digital companion agents provide much more than just a voice user interface – social AI entities that proactively interact with each user. They interpret a myriad of sensory data to understand the context of their user and environment that create effective, empathetic experiences that drive the desired outcomes from your product.
Create an emotional bond between your customers and your product
Guide your users through optimal usage of the product
Anticipate your users’ needs
Influence behaviors and emotions
Adapt the interaction to the user’s personality
Context-aware
The agent creates a dynamic state based on sensory input that drives its behavior
Goal-based decision making
The agent behavior is motivated to fulfill specific goals and KPIs
Proactive
The agent initiates interactions to promote its goals based on likelihood of success and goal priority
Learning
The agent learns and remembers key information and routines of the user
Personalized
The agent chooses the optimal interaction variant for each user based on its learning
Non-deterministic behavior
The agent makes cognitive decisions, not based on decision trees
Character-based
The agent is embodied via a handcrafted character that amplifies your brand
Multimodal
The agent expresses itself through multiple modalities that are curated to feel lifelike
Q, the cognitive AI engine
Q is a runtime engine that powers digital companion agents. Q is fed sensory input and based on the state, user model and reinforcement learning, makes cognitive decisions to manage the agent’s behavior.
Everything you need to design your experiences
Q studio enables creative teams to create, deploy and test agent-driven experiences at scale, while allowing them to transparently understand the agent’s behavior and decision making. We provide all the tools needed to shape each custom digital companion, persona, and experience for your brand – from setting your agent’s goals to designing the actual experience – while continuously analyzing the data, optimizing the results, and controlling all aspects independently.
Use cases
Q has the potential to be a platform for multiple domains where expertise has been created. Q can be integrated in any device with sensory inputs and multimodal outputs. Currently, Q powers ElliQ, the sidekick for happier aging, and is shaping the in-car experience for several leading automotive OEMs.
