San Jose, Calif. – Feb 26, 2019 — [24]7.ai, a global leader in intent-driven customer engagement solutions, and Mitsui & Co., Ltd.

 “Our new mobile app, Chubu Denki no Madoguchi, is designed to improve convenience for our customers in the Chubu area,” said Hiroyasu Yanagawa of Chubu Electric. “It not only pushes blackout information to the app users in a timely manner, but also enables customers to communicate with our chat agents anytime regarding concerns about electricity by using chat function in the app. We chose [24]7 Chat because [24]7 Chat has extensive deployment both on web and native app globally. We also rated [24]7 Chat highly because of its Active Card feature, which is available in the native app, and because there is the potential for future expansion to [24]7 AIVA. As more consumers download the mobile app, we believe this provides a great new way for customers to connect with us.”

[24]7 Chat uses intent-driven engagement and predictive analytics to understand what consumers want to do and delivers information where and when they need it most to reduce handling time and boost customer satisfaction. Because [24]7 Chat uses AI to replicate the effectiveness of a company’s best agents, it enables digital self-service that boosts customer satisfaction and conversions while lowering costs. Deployed by many top Fortune 500 companies as gatekeepers of customer interaction, [24]7 Chat is tightly integrated with [24]7 AIVA, the industry leading AI-powered chatbot.
