Protecting your data is our top priority. Our Conversational AI solutions are developed with advanced security protocols and strict privacy measures, ensuring compliance with industry standards and safeguarding sensitive information at every interaction.
As a conversational AI consultant, we build solutions on scalable infrastructure designed to grow with your business. Whether you need to handle a high volume of customer inquiries or add new functionalities, our architecture supports expansion, ensuring your Conversational AI remains fast, reliable, and resilient as demands increase.
Our modular approach allows for flexible, phased implementation tailored to your business’s readiness and growth. By integrating Conversational AI in stages, we ensure a smooth transition, enabling you to expand capabilities as needed without disrupting existing processes.
Our automation solutions are designed to streamline repetitive tasks and processes, saving time and reducing operational costs for businesses across industries. Our solutions can handle tasks such as notifying customers that they need to act, data collection and booking meetings, enabling teams to focus on higher-value work. We also ensure that every automation solution is built to maintain compliance and secure sensitive data.
Intelligent call triage powered by AI helps companies efficiently route incoming calls to the right departments or personnel, minimising wait times and improving customer satisfaction. Fifty One Degrees ensures that call triage is responsive, context-aware, and fully compliant with internal and external considerations, delivering faster, more personalised service for customers that is aligned with your brand, policies and regulations.
Conversational AI solutions can benefit businesses from any sector, but at Fifty One Degrees, we have seen excellent results in financial services. We’re well-versed in the regulatory requirements, data security concerns, and compliance mandates that these industries face. Our Conversational AI solutions can assist with customer onboarding, policy inquiries, underwriting support, and more, providing compliant, accurate, and responsive interactions that meet the highest industry standards.
Take three simple steps to start deploying AI in your business.
① Book an exploratory meeting
② Agree a proposal
③ Design & build your AI implementation
Traditional IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is a static, frustration-inducing decision tree. Fifty One Degrees’ Voice AI Agents are dynamic and intelligent. They do not require customers to “listen carefully as options have changed.” Instead, they listen, understand context, and converse with human-like empathy and sub-second latency. Our agents can handle complex, non-linear conversations—from booking appointments and triaging insurance claims to managing outbound lead qualification—allowing you to scale your call centre capacity instantly without adding headcount.
We are technology agnostic and focused on implementation excellence. However, we partner with the market leaders to deliver the best possible latency and voice quality. We act as implementation partners for Bland AI and ElevenLabs, orchestrating these tools within your existing infrastructure. We handle the complex engineering—webhooks, API integrations, and latency optimisation—so you get a seamless, enterprise-grade solution rather than a generic “out of the box” tool.
Yes. This is our home turf. With founders from high-growth FinTech (Nick Harding, Fluro) and Risk Analytics (Mark Somers, 4most), we understand the FCA and PRA regulatory landscape intimately. We build strict guardrails into our agents to ensure they never “hallucinate” policy details. We implement “Human-in-the-loop” systems where the AI handles data collection, verification, and triage, but seamlessly hands over to a human agent for complex decision-making or sensitive vulnerability assessments.
Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of Voice AI is that it transforms voice traffic into structured data. Every interaction is recorded, transcribed, and analysed in real-time. We configure the agent to extract custom variables—such as sentiment analysis, objection reasons, or specific product interests—and push that data directly into your CRM or Data Warehouse. This moves you from anecdotal evidence (“customers seem unhappy”) to data-driven insight (“churn risk increased 12% due to X”).
We follow the “Ship, Learn, Iterate” methodology. We avoid lengthy “digital transformation” roadmaps in favour of rapid impact.
Proof of Concept (PoC): We can build and deploy a pilot agent (e.g., for outbound appointment booking or inbound FAQs) in approximately 2 weeks.
Beta & Scale: We refine the script, latency, and integrations based on real-world feedback over the following 6 weeks. This allows you to validate the ROI and customer experience before committing to full-scale rollout.
