What Sovran does

Sovran AI is an enterprise conversational AI platform that delivers omnichannel customer service automation for large organizations across 11 industry verticals, including telecommunications, utilities, healthcare, financial services, insurance, retail, e-commerce, banking, fintech, consulting, and education. Founded in 2020 and with corporate registration in Liverpool, UK per its firmographic record, the company operates primarily through offices in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Milan, Cagliari, and Ascoli Piceno (Italy), and Lisbon (Portugal). Sovran's product suite consists of six integrated modules — Voice AI Agent, Text AI Agent, AI Orchestrator, Copilot (agent assist), Conversation Analytics, and Prediction Engine — built on a hybrid NLP stack combining computational linguistics (language learning) with machine learning, deployed on Google Cloud with MongoDB Atlas, with the AI Orchestrator coordinating agents across voice, chat, WhatsApp, apps, and social channels while Bot Studio enables visual design of conversational flows.

The platform processes over 3 million contacts per month across Sovran's deployed base and integrates with CRMs (Salesforce, Zendesk, Freshdesk), e-commerce systems (Shopify, Magento, Salesforce Commerce), IVR, and messaging channels (WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, Slack, Microsoft Teams). Sovran goes to market exclusively through direct enterprise sales with no channel partners or self-service product offering, employing a performance-based pricing model in which clients pay only for resolved service outcomes rather than fixed fees or per-seat licenses. Every engagement begins with a tailored demo and a 30-day pilot before full deployment, with a dedicated post-launch team (Customer Success managers, LUI Specialists, Bot Builders) managing continuous improvement.

Named enterprise customers include Sky, AXA, Decathlon, Comgas, Pague Menos, Vitru Educação, Certisign, IDI Istituto Dermopatico dell'Immacolata, Azul Seguros, Brasilprev, Energisa, Consigaz, Easynvest, Inchcape, and Estadão. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27017, and ISO/IEC 27018 certifications, supporting its positioning in regulated industries. Its Comgas deployment won the Customer Centricity World Series 2024 "Best Customer Self-Service Project" award with Google.
