Mastercard customers in the United States will soon be able to use an A.I.-powered bot to ask more than 1,000 questions about personal finances and other subjects.
Mastercard KAI will be rolled out to U.S. Mastercard credit card and banking customers in early 2017. The bot is made by Kasisto, a spinoff of Siri creator SRI International.
Bots due out later this year will help consumers and merchants make purchases or complete transactions.
Mastercard KAI will be able to tell customers about their account history and account balance and can also make payments, identify spending patterns, and set alerts for specific kinds of spending.
