Insights from QuickCEP CEO, Billy Chen
Billy Chen, the CEO of QuickCEP, emphasized the uniqueness of their offerings:
"While many AI products exist in the market, few can be effectively implemented into large enterprises' workflows and integrated as organizational capabilities. QuickCEP's strength lies in its ability to consistently support the entire life cycle of a customer’s interactions with a brand, from initial marketing touchpoints to operations and customer service."
He further discussed the ‘memory’ function of the AI agents:
"Our AI agents accumulate every interaction with customers, generating sophisticated tagged profiles. This enables us to offer personalized, accurate, and warm experiences tailored to individuals at every stage from marketing to after-sales service, a capability that's challenging for humans to replicate."

QuickCEP continues to evolve as a platform that integrates technology, products, and operations to realize the next-generation customer experience centered around AI agents. This recent funding will bolster their global market outreach, enhance AI agent technology, and support the growth of brands worldwide, including Japanese companies.
