What we do

What we do

SMOC.AI builds powerful and easy to use tools that enable your business to increase brand loyalty, customer insights, and lead conversions, by using reward fueled conversational commerce.

How we do it

At SMOC.AI we are strong believers in rewarding attention. And in a marketing and sales landscape that still, is mainly focused on bombarding people with one way advertising, this is more relevant than ever. One of the best ways to reward attention in the online space is by talking with your leads and customers, not just to them.

And this is where conversational commerce comes in; using technology to bring the best, proactive in person dialogues you have with your leads, customers and ambassadors, online, without a needing a person live at hand on your end.

By leveraging the methodology with the help of our reward fueled and AI driven solution, you will not only see increase in your conversions, but also brand awareness and loyalty.

Where we are based

Our headquarters are located in Oslo, Norway, but we also have team members across Northern Europe.
