About Us | Haptik

We are a group of determined and passionate people committed towards shaping the conversational AI space! Started in 2013, way before chatbots became popular, Haptik was born out of a belief that chat and messaging will rule the 21st century smartphone world. Conversational User Interface (CUI) is the most significant shift in interfaces since the change from command line to GUI. With Artificial Intelligence and chatbots exploding today, this belief only gets stronger.
