Gupshup at MWC Barcelona: Making Online Shopping More Conversational in 2024

The Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2024 promises to showcase cutting-edge innovations shaping the future of connectivity. Among these advancements, the rise of the conversational cloud stands as a transformative force, poised to revolutionize how we interact with businesses, particularly in online shopping. Gupshup, a leading conversational AI platform, is at the forefront of this movement. They are empowering businesses to create engaging and personalized shopping experiences through the power of conversational commerce with chatbots and messaging channels.

The Rise of the Conversational Cloud

Consumers today are increasingly turning to messaging apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram for communication and information access. This shift in behavior presents a significant opportunity for businesses to engage with customers directly within these familiar platforms. The conversational cloud facilitates this shift, providing a unified platform for businesses. This platform helps to build, deploy, and manage AI-powered chatbots across various messaging channels.

Consumers today crave convenience and personalization in their interactions with brands, particularly during online shopping. Traditional e-commerce platforms often lack the human touch, frustrating customers with clunky interfaces and impersonal experiences. This is where the conversational cloud steps in.

Powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), the conversational cloud allows businesses to create chatbots and messaging solutions. These can interact with customers in a natural, two-way conversation. Unlike static websites or apps, these solutions provide a dynamic and engaging experience, fostering deeper connections and boosting brand loyalty.

Statistics underscore the growing importance of conversational interfaces:

• 82% of consumers prefer messaging apps for communicating with businesses. (Source: Zendesk)

• The global conversational AI market is projected to reach USD 18.4 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 23.3%. (Source: Grand View Research)
