NICE today launched CXone SmartAssist powered by Amelia, providers of a conversational artificial intelligence solution for customer service.
The expanded partnership further pairs NICE CXone's advanced analytical and digital capabilities and NICE Enlighten AI with Amelia's conversational AI technology to allow organizations to build and deploy intelligent self-service.

"Conversational and self-learning AI like CXone SmartAssist, powered by Amelia, is a significant differentiator for any business, delivering the best elements of human interactions to everyday user experiences. Add to that the enormous interactions data pool supplied by NICE's CXone and Enlighten AI, and you've got a very sophisticated and unique digital employee that is capable of recalling a volume of business logic that's needed to really understand how your customers interact with your business."
