Wluper is a London-based startup that has developed dialogue technology to create conversational artificial intelligence (AI) to power knowledge-based voice assistants. Most existing voice assistants understand commands, not conversations. They know a little about a broad range of subjects but few know a lot about a specific topic. Wluper builds intelligent-assistance technology for one domain at a time.
Wluper’s technology provides businesses with more advanced voice capabilities that are directly integrated within their existing services, and allows end users to interact with them in a more convenient and intuitive way. The company has created a system capable of handling dialogues that can return up to eight exchanges with the end user.
Hami Bahraynian is CEO of Wluper, which he co-founded in 2017. Hami is responsible for the company’s product strategy, business development and financial affairs.
He joined the SME Leaders programme in 2021 and says “I would like to strengthen my communication skills to better convey goals, generate results and inspire trust.
The programme has come at the right time as our company transitions from a research-driven business towards product application and market-adoption.”
Wluper has raised over $4 million from investors including Jaguar Land Rover’s InMotion Ventures, IQ Capital, and Seedcamp. Now, the company is turning its conversational AI technology into scalable products with a focus on commercialisation over the coming year.
