We call this

Conversational Commerce. The solution enables people to order products simply by texting in their natural language what they would like to do – the process is 10x faster than anything in the market.

The ordering process is intuitive with no apps to download and no need to learn any keywords or complex systems – the user simply says what they’d like and can place an order or seek information in 
seconds.

The approach is perfect whether ordering a single item, adding an item to a shopping basket, or re-ordering a whole basket of goods.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
