Overview

Interactions is a conversational AI platform provider that combines Predictive AI, Generative AI, and human intelligence to automate customer experience at enterprise scale. Founded in 2004, the company pioneered Intelligent Virtual Assistants (IVAs) that handle inbound voice and digital interactions -- including claims intake, billing inquiries, policy self-service, and authentication -- with accuracy that exceeds fully automated systems alone.

The platform is built on Adaptive Understanding, a proprietary engine that blends automatic speech recognition, natural language processing, and an optional human-in-the-loop review layer. When the AI is uncertain, human agents intervene in real time to disambiguate, producing a hybrid system that processes over one billion transactions annually and generates approximately USD 300 million per year in client savings.

In September 2025, Interactions was acquired by SoundHound AI (Nasdaq: SOUN) for approximately USD 60 million in cash plus contingent revenue milestone payments, strengthening SoundHound's agentic AI leadership across enterprise customer service segments.
