Technology Niki aims to bring the next billion online, and believes that it is possible only if all the friction there is when it comes to taking care of tasks online, can be eradicated. Conversational interfaces are for everyone, and thus have the potential to 'enable' everyone to get things done in a way as simple as talking to a friend. To further enhance the experience, the company is already working on voice and multilingual support. This will enable users to be able to actually speak and converse with Niki in their own regional language to make transactions. Being trusted by SDK partners like HDFC Bank, Federal Bank, ICICI Bank, Karbonn, Intex and likes, further bolsters the confidence in conversational commerce as a whole. Other than those related to commerce, the company is also working on some really interesting use- cases including that of a stock broker and insurance agen, to name a few. With more services and more SDK partnerships in the pipeline, Niki.ai's vision is for Niki to be everywhere and everything transactional.
