Prvýkrát sa dostávame od konverzácie až k platbe. 🤖💳 Posledné mesiace sa veľa rozprávame o AI avataroch. 👉Ako informujú. 👉Ako predávajú. 👉Ako navigujú návštevníkov. 👉Ako odpovedajú na otázky. Ale dnes sme riešili ďalší krok. Čo ak by AI avatar vedel nielen komunikovať...ale aj dokončiť obchod? Preto začíname spoluprácu s tímom tapaya. 🚀 Zaujímavé je, že minulý rok sme sa stretli aj medzi víťazmi SASK 2025. 🏆 norriv získal ocenenie v kategórii Dizajn a Tapaya v kategórii Digital. Dnes už spoločne hľadáme nové use-cases, kde sa stretne: 🤖 AI avatar 📦 holografický box 💳 platba Predstavte si situáciu: Zákazník sa rozpráva s avatarom. Pýta sa na produkt, dostane odporúčanie a vyberie si variant a následne rovno zaplatí. Bez personálu. Bez čakania. Bez komplikácií. To, čo bolo ešte pred rokom skôr sci-fi, dnes začína byť veľmi reálny use-case pre retail, eventy, múzeá, služby aj customer experience. Najviac ma na tom baví jedna vec. Nepridávame technológiu preto, že je technologicky zaujímavá. Pridávame ju preto, aby sme odstránili ďalší krok medzi záujmom a nákupom. Som zvedavý, kam nás táto spolupráca zavedie. 🚀 #AI #Payments #RetailTech #CustomerExperience #Innovation #norriv #Tapaya 🇬🇧 English Version For the first time, we're moving from conversation to payment. 🤖💳 Over the past months, we've talked a lot about AI avatars. How they inform. How they sell. How they guide visitors. How they answer questions. But today, we discussed the next step. What if an AI avatar could do more than communicate... 👉 What if it could complete the transaction? That's why we're starting a collaboration with the team at Tapaya. 🚀 Interestingly, we first crossed paths last year as winners at the SASK Awards 2025. 🏆 norriv won in the Design category, while Tapaya took home the award in the Digital category. Today, we're exploring new use cases where: 🤖 AI avatars 📦 holographic displays 💳 payments come together in a single experience. Imagine this: A customer talks to an avatar. Learns about a product. Gets recommendations. Chooses an option. And then completes the payment instantly. No staff required. No waiting. No unnecessary friction. What felt like science fiction just a year ago is quickly becoming a real-world use case for retail, events, museums, services, and customer experience. What excites me most is this: We're not adding technology because it's impressive. We're adding it because it removes another step between interest and purchase. Excited to see where this collaboration takes us. 🚀 #AI #Payments #RetailTech #CustomerExperience #Innovation #norriv #Tapaya
