HONG KONG, Jan. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharing Economy
International Inc. ("Sharing Economy" or "the Company") (Nasdaq:
SEII) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inspirit
Studio Limited ("Inspirit Studio"), has entered into a cooperation
agreement with Asiabots Ltd. ("Asiabots"), for the joint
development of artificial intelligence (A.I.) and O2O delivery
services.
Asiabots has developed A.I. and machine learning business
solutions for cross-regional business clients, including major
retailers and consumer products companies, private companies and
government organizations. Through its Chatbot engine, companies can
provide online customer service via a chat robot, which can
intelligently respond to customer inquiries by mimicking human
conversation. Utilizing natural language processing (NLP) to
understand the user's intention and leveraging the power of machine
learning and A.I., the chatbots can be trained to learn more about
users and in turn to provide more personalized service. SEII plans
to integrate this technology into its peer-to-peer community
delivery service platform, BuddiGO, which allows users to outsource
daily chores and mundane tasks to "Buddies" who can spare idle time
to run errands. The Company expects to launch this new service in
the second quarter of 2018.
"By working with Asiabots, we plan to implement smart delivery,
a revolutionary model that perfectly integrates A.I. and O2O
delivery services, and pioneer the Asia market," said Kurt Tam, CEO of Inspirit Studio. "Rebranded
from Anyway and backed by A.I. technology, BuddiGO will enter the
age of the intelligent app. Thanks to our chatbots, our users will
be able to simplify their ordering and service experience. Every
recommendation, order and delivery can be driven by A.I. and
millions of users and business clients will benefit from this
advanced integration. Just as important, our freelancers' income
will rise dramatically in line with the growth of delivery demand.
In addition to Asiabots' A.I. support, BuddiGO is built upon the
SEII blockchain transaction platform, where smart contracts and the
advanced ledger system will establish BuddiGO as a secure personal
business platform for everyone. With these advanced
technologies, BuddiGO will be a smart, secure, trusted and
convenient solution."
"We are excited to collaborate with Inspirit Studio. We firmly
believe that solid customer service executed by artificial
intelligence results in an unprecedented user experience," said
Thomas Wong, CEO and co-founder of
Asiabots. "Supported by seven Asian languages in our Natural NLP
roadmap, from consumer wish prediction to automating the order
process, the integration with BuddiGO will provide a full-chained
intelligent delivery solution across more than 10 countries or
regions."
"The SEII group continues to seek advanced technology partners
to develop sharing economy solutions that make the experience of
sharing and renting more convenient to our users," said
Parkson Yip, COO of SEII. "In
addition to the effort we have put into our blockchain core
transaction engine, the Sharing Blocks, we have also been exploring
different methods to apply artificial intelligence technology to
make our sharing apps more helpful. Joining together with
experienced A.I. developers like Asiabots will strengthen our
technical development in A.I. and machine learning. We plan
to further expand the use of A.I. in other platforms of the group,
such as our workspace sharing businesses."
