Understanding Conversations Using NLP and AI
At Xyonix, we use state of the art text analysis and NLP technologies to automatically understand conversations and converse with humans.
Users are increasingly accustomed to immediate responses on mediums like SMS, Facebook chat, and Twitter. Perhaps as a result, conversational interfaces like chatbots are becoming increasingly popular for applications like customer support, product recommendations, targeted promotions, product feedback aggregation and more.
“I don’t think a five out of five really encapsulates the work that they do. The work is top-notch. It’s what we ask for and more. They go the extra mile in terms of letting us know that whatever we need, they’re there for us to lend their expertise, to be in a meeting if they need to, to explain the project in more detail. So it’s really going above and beyond.”

What almost all conversational interfaces have in common are problems with machine reading comprehension. Leveraging our team's more than 60 years of combined deep NLP experience, we've helped a number of companies improve their conversational understanding capabilities.
In one case, we were able to efficiently extend one conversational domain from the recognition of just a handful of response categories, to over 50, all with very high accuracy. In another case, we were able to leverage modern LSTM deep learning neural nets (i.e. AI) to outperform more traditional SVM style learning techniques. In another case, we were able to, in just a few short days, improve net effectiveness of algorithms by a significant percentage through the use of deeper semantic grammar based model features to the thrill of the client's team. In all cases, off the shelf alternatives were entirely insufficient as these models are typically trained on very different data and have no means for heavily customizing conversations.
Fan Response Parser
We built a system that helped our client help popular artists like Metallica and Beyonce communicate with their massive fan base by automatically interpreting millions of fan text messages sent to artist’s personal phones. Our parser was capable of accurately recognizing over 70 detailed conversation statements.
Sales Lead Conversation Bot
We worked closely with executives and data scientists of a major automated sales lead generation system to define an AI path forward that enabled their system to not only understand conversations, but to also generate responses for human consumption. We were able to efficiently extend one conversational domain from the recognition of just a handful of response categories, to over 50, all with very high accuracy.
80% of AI projects fail—not because the technology isn’t ready, but because businesses aren’t. Companies that thrive with AI begin by identifying clear, high-impact problems it can solve, backed by quality data and a strategic vision for success. This article explores the critical elements of AI readiness: defining your business challenges, ensuring your data infrastructure is robust, and leveraging AI to gain a competitive edge. Whether it’s automating repetitive tasks, personalizing customer experiences, or predicting trends, the key to success isn’t adopting AI early—it’s adopting it smartly. Learn how to assess your readiness and prepare for an AI-powered future.
Explore how AI-powered virtual concierges are transforming customer service in industries like hospitality and education. With 80% of customers likely to switch brands after two bad experiences, businesses are turning to AI to meet rising expectations. This article delves into real-world examples of AI concierges offering personalized recommendations, streamlining tasks like bookings and check-ins, and supporting students with career guidance—all while allowing human teams to focus on more complex customer needs.
In this article, we delve into the evolution of search technologies, tracing the journey from the conventional keyword-based search methods to the cutting-edge advancements in semantic search. We discuss how semantic search leverages sentence embeddings to comprehend and align with the context and intentions behind user queries, thereby elevating the accuracy and relevance of search outcomes. Through the integration of vector databases such as OpenSearch, we illustrate the development of sophisticated semantic search systems designed to navigate the complexities of modern data sets. This approach not only delivers a more refined search experience but also enhances the precision of results by accurately interpreting the intent of user inquiries, representing a notable leap forward in the progression of search technology.
AI chatbots are transforming customer service by providing 24/7 availability and interactions that resemble human conversation. It's anticipated that by 2025, 80% of customer support will utilize Generative AI to improve the customer experience and increase agent efficiency. However, the swift adoption of this promising technology has faced obstacles, particularly miscommunications that have risked brand reputations. To prevent inaccuracies it's essential to adopt thorough AI testing and certification processes. In this article, learn more about why rigorous testing and certification are critical for the successful integration of AI chatbots in customer service.
