Expert.ai’s innovative solution, adopted by the Autostrade per l’Italia group to support toll booth assistance, earns recognition at the 2024 CMMC Awards in the “Customer Experience” category.

Europe’s largest motorway operator, Autostrade per l’Italia, is transforming customer assistance at highway toll booths with an advanced, AI-powered virtual agent. Designed to handle motorists’ most common questions, this innovative solution from expert.ai helps ease high-traffic days by efficiently supporting toll booth operators.

As a leader in enterprise AI solutions that drive business value, expert.ai enables automatic, real-time handling of inquiries at highway service stations through advanced natural language processing. The system identifies the subject and context of each user’s request, such as “toll device malfunction,” and provides an immediate response or directs the inquiry to a live operator for more complex issues.

We are honored that Autostrade per l’Italia has chosen expert.ai as a partner for AI and proud to contribute our expertise to improving their customer service.”
