Almawave
Easing Human-Technology Interaction Using Artificial Intelligence

Firms in the financial services space are already formulating strategies for digital transformation endeavours in finance and augmenting business value for the year 2023. Amongst the technology disruptions, chatbots and automation have proven to be popular choices as they cut labour hours, enhance client connections, and boost profitability. While chatbots may be the face, artificial intelligence (AI) is a game changer in back-office operations, product delivery, risk management, marketing, and security.

While many solution providers continue to push the boundaries of innovation, Almawave from Rome, Italy, has been in the limelight for their best-of-breed technologies and complete Big Data-oriented services to support the digital enhancement of enterprises and public administrations.

The leading Italian player in Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing, Almawave has designed platforms like Audioma® and Iride®. The latest Almawave’s innovation is its AI Platform – the AIWave. Audioma® is an integrated solution offering services like automatic transcription, translation, and subtitling of audio and video content. Iride® is a suite of interconnected products for information management and enabling natural interaction in complex environments, including: text analytics, speech analytics, virtual assistants, smart IVR, enterprise insight engine, social and digital media monitoring to accurately understand customer needs. These features help clients interact with customers effectively, achieving better customer satisfaction and optimising customer experiences.

AIWave is made up of AI Bricks– technology, tools, models and capabilities packaged in purpose-based AI Boxes, which can be used to construct tailored solutions for businesses.

With the all-inclusive AI Boxes a developer can build anything ranging from accessing, organizing and analyzing data (including written and spoken data), to automating the interaction between people: customers, employees, citizens and systems or data.

AIWave has Composite AI at its core, combining different symbolic and statistical AI techniques like machine learning, deep learning, reasoning, and knowledge graphs in order to guarantee best user experience as well as transparency and explainability. Such approach allows to shorten the time-to-value for consumers and AI adopters.
