DigitalGenius

DigitalGenius provides a customer experience platform that uses conversational and visual AI to automate service and sales processes, primarily for the ecommerce and retail sectors. Founded in 2013 by Dmitry Aksenov, Mikhail Naumov, and Bogdan Maksak, the company is headquartered in London, with offices in San Francisco. Aksenov, who had a passion for robotics from a young age, reportedly developed the initial idea in his dorm room while studying in the UK.

The company's core technology is a Human+AI platform that integrates with clients' existing contact center software, such as Zendesk, Salesforce, and Microsoft Dynamics. It uses deep-learning algorithms trained on historical customer service data to understand customer intent, automate repetitive inquiries, and suggest responses to human agents. The platform is designed to handle the entire case resolution process, connecting conversational AI with back-end systems through APIs to manage tasks like order status inquiries, cancellations, and refund requests without human intervention. Features include conversational AI for natural language interactions, visual AI to detect product defects from images, and generative AI for personalized, on-brand communication. The system is capable of multi-lingual and omnichannel support across email, chat, social media, and voice.

DigitalGenius operates on a SaaS model, serving enterprise clients and e-commerce brands like Unilever, KLM, and On. The business aims to reduce customer service costs, decrease resolution times, and allow human agents to focus on more complex interactions. Over its history, the company has raised a total of $38.5 million in funding over eight rounds from investors including Global Founders Capital, Salesforce Ventures, and Runa Capital. Both co-founders Dmitry Aksenov and Mikhail Naumov have been recognized in Forbes' "30 Under 30" list for their work in enterprise technology.
