Business Description

Overview LivePerson, Inc. (“LivePerson”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is a leader in digital customer conversation. Over the past two decades, consumers have made digital conversations their primary mode of communication with others. Since 1998, we have enabled meaningful connections between consumers and our customers through our platform and currently power nearly one billion conversational interactions each month. These digital and artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered conversations decrease costs and increase revenue for our brands, resulting in more convenient, personalized and content-rich journeys across the entire consumer lifecycle, and across consumer channels. Our customers’ existing investments in Generative AI and Large Language Models (“LLMs”) are fully compatible with LivePerson’s enterprise-class digital customer conversation platform (the “LivePerson Platform”). The LivePerson Platform is trusted by the world’s top brands to accelerate their contact center transformation, orchestrate conversations across all channels, departments and systems, increase agent productivity, and deliver more personalized, AI-empowered customer experiences in a safe and secure environment. The LivePerson Platform powers conversations across each of a brand’s primary digital channels, including mobile apps, mobile and desktop web browsers, short messaging service (“SMS”), social media and third-party consumer messaging platforms. Brands can also use the LivePerson Platform to connect conversations across voice and digital channels to give customers additional options and ensure their interactions with brands are seamlessly integrated no matter where they choose to reach out. Agents can manage all conversations with consumers through a single console interface, regardless of where the conversations originated. The LivePerson Platform has been enhanced to provide security with appropriate guardrails where Generative AI and LLMs can be deployed and continually optimized in ways that help consumers and drive results for brands without sacrificing trust. LivePerson’s robust, cloud-based suite of rich messaging, real-time chat, Generative AI, AI and automation, and conversation orchestration offerings features LLM powered automation (Autopilot), LLM powered agent tools (Copilot: Assist, Summary, Rewrite), Conversation Intelligence tools (Generative Insights, Analytics Studio), integrations (omnichannel solution through Avaya, Inc. partnership, Salesforce connector, iHub workflows powered by Workato), and engagement solutions (proactive messaging, voice to messaging) among others. An extensible application programming interface (“API”) stack facilitates a lower cost of ownership by facilitating robust integration into back-end systems, as well as enabling developers to build their own programs and services on top of the platform. More than 40 APIs and software development kits are available on the LivePerson Platform. The LivePerson Platform enables what the Company calls “the tango” of humans, LivePerson bots, third-party bots and LLMs, in which humans oversee and are assisted by AI and can seamlessly step into conversations as needed. Agents become highly efficient, as they are able to leverage the AI engine (including generative AI capabilities) to surface relevant content, define next-best actions and take over repetitive transactional work so that the agent can focus on relationship building. By integrating customer engagement channels, LivePerson’s proprietary AI, and third-party bots and AI, the LivePerson Platform offers brands a comprehensive approach to scaling automations across customer conversations. Complementing the Company’s proprietary digital customer conversation offerings are teams of technical, solutions and consulting professionals that have developed deep domain expertise in the implementation and optimization of conversational services across industries and messaging endpoints. LivePerson’s products, coupled with our domain knowledge, industry expertise and professional services, have been proven to maximize the impact of digital customer service. LivePerson supports and unlocks the power of AI in safe and responsible ways, and delivers measurable return on investment (“ROI”) for our customers.…
