About Us

Founded in November 2003, we started working with our first enterprise-level organisation in 2004 – and they are still a customer today. From day one, Creative Virtual has focused on creating technology solutions that understand humans and caters to their needs.

For 20 years we have been advancing and pushing the boundaries in conversational AI, enabling our clients to continue to deliver better customer and employee experiences, with our chatbots, voicebots, virtual agents and live chat solutions.

Constantly innovating, our V-Person™ products and V-Studio™ platform are award-winning and globally recognised, enabling seamless, realtime conversations between humans and ‘technology’.

Today our global team supports conversational AI solutions in more than 23 countries and over 40 languages, bringing both localised collaboration and international insights to our customers and partners.

We closely monitor trends and the evolution of customer and employee engagement so that we can provide organisations with cutting-edge chatbot, voicebot, virtual agent, and live chat tools, as well as offering access to our conversational AI platform to manage all conversations and enable personalised, multimodal engagements.

We have an in-house Research & Development team who adopt an agile approach to development.  This enables us to be a ground-breaker in the industry, delivering innovative solutions that meet the real needs of organisations.

Recognised and respected brands such as HSBC, BT, Rest, Age UK, , Lloyds Banking Group, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Chase, Wilhelm.tel, and many other leading organisations use our award-winning technology and rely on our expert consultation to improve their customer and employee support experiences, reduce costs, increase sales, and build brand loyalty.
