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.

Integrating Sapling’s AI assistant as part of Wave X will enable us to enhance agent performance, optimize customer interactions, and deliver greater customer satisfaction.”

In a recent 60-day pilot program for one of the world’s largest logistics companies, ibex deployed Sapling as part of Wave X for 120 of its agents.
