Wishpond Files Patent for AI Enabled Virtual Representative; the Technology Powering Wishpond's SalesCloser AI

• Wishpond files a utility patent for the innovative technology behind the Company's groundbreaking SalesCloser AI product that is expected to launch later this year.

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Wishpond Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: WISH) (OTCQX: WPNDF) (the "Company" or "Wishpond"), a provider of marketing-focused online business solutions, is pleased to announce that the Company has filed a non-provisional utility patent, entitled Virtual Artificial Intelligence (AI) Representative, to protect the underlying technologies of its upcoming SalesCloser AI platform that can perform automated demos, calls and presentations.  The technology is a breakthrough in AI-powered presentation technology utilizing advanced large language models and deep learning techniques for voice synthesis. This innovative AI-based platform acts as a "Virtual AI Representative'' and can engage in conversations and deliver presentations in real-time through various meeting applications, showcasing its versatility and efficiency.

"Wishpond is at the forefront of the marketing industry and leading the way in creating innovative new AI-powered marketing solutions," said Ali Tajskandar, CEO of Wishpond. "Artificial Intelligence is having an enormous impact in changing the way companies market their products and businesses.  Wishpond is developing a comprehensive suite of AI-based marketing and sales solutions and this patent application for a Virtual AI Representative is a key element in our development roadmap as it will be powering our SalesCloser AI solution that will be launched very soon."

Ali Tajskandar further adds, "We recognize the importance for Wishpond to stay ahead of the competition and protect its intellectual property and technology. Our Virtual AI Representative not only answers questions but also showcases a business's product and participates in interactive sales calls. The seamless flow of the conversation, combined with the highly personalized nature of the presentation, sets our Virtual AI Representative apart. Its 24/7 availability in different languages makes it an invaluable resource for companies aiming to scale their operations cost effectively. By leveraging this technology, businesses can maintain a high standard of service across the board, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency in their interactions and presentations."

At the core of this innovative system is a trainable state machine, adept at adjusting to diverse scenarios to provide both context and a personalized touch to each presentation. This ensures that the content delivered is not only relevant but also tailored to the audience's needs and preferences. Working in tandem with the state machine is a controller unit, functioning as the central brain of the invention, as it meticulously oversees numerous threads throughout the presentation, ensuring a smooth and coherent flow of information and interaction, minimal delay and a natural conversation flow. The Virtual AI Representative can manage a zoom call during conversations, displaying context-related and personalized visuals that enhance the engagement and relatability of the presentation. The visual aids play a crucial role in creating a more immersive and interactive experience for the participants.

The state machine is also highly adaptable to different applications. Wishpond expects that the Virtual AI Representative can be adapted for different industries for use as AI instructors that can demo products and features, AI enabled customer service representatives, tutors, financial planners, healthcare attendants, receptionists etc.  We believe that there are a number of use cases such as market research and data collection, translation services, behavioral therapy, autoresponders, education, and many more that will evolve over time.
