About Interactive Media

Interactive Media is at the leading edge of conversational omnichannel Virtual Agents, interacting with customers in free-form dialog for a delightful experience.

Founded more than 20 years ago to offer voice applications, Interactive Media launched its conversational offer in 2010: we have had the time to learn about what it really takes to deliver an effective conversational experience, as numerous happy customers can attest. Based in Italy and with offices in the United States and Brazil, Interactive Media powers hundreds of millions of conversations a year on several verticals and in 4 languages, on all channels and fully integrated with the enterprise contact center.

FOR US, AI IS NOT THE MAIN POINT. IT’S A WELCOME ADDITION TO OUR PASSION.

We have been working and developing solutions for human-machine language interactions for over 20 years. It’s part of our life. We are perpetual pioneers. We just can’t stop innovating and thinking about the future, to deliver the best in the present. We are engineers, who craft solutions for any interaction to be effective and pleasant. So, for us, it’s not only about AI (or any other technique), it’s about working in the best way to make conversations between human and machine more seamless and intuitive.

Leadership Team
