Smart Conversations: Stop making customers repeat themselves
Sinch Launches Smart Conversations AI Suite to Preserve Context and Reduce Customer Frustration in Support Interactions Sinch has introduced Smart Conversations, an AI-powered feature suite integrated into its Conversation API designed to address a critical pain point in customer support: 81% of consumers react negatively when forced to repeat themselves. The solution combines six AI capabilities—natural language understanding, sentiment analysis, speech-to-text transcription, PII masking, offensive content detection, and image comprehension—to maintain conversation context across channels and languages. Smart Conversations operates as an intelligence layer that enables support teams to automatically detect intent, sentiment, and sensitive data in real time, routing interactions more efficiently while ensuring compliance and security. The offering reflects broader industry trends, with 97% of businesses investing in AI for customer communications, though many systems still treat messages as isolated events rather than continuous conversations.
