The Neople team at work

Neople in your team

We're one of Europe's first AI startups, up and running since January 2023. Since then we have resolved tens of millions of tickets for leading brands. Our digital colleagues, Neople, take on the repetitive work so your team has more time for the fun parts, and for what actually matters.

Neople are changing the way we work

We deliver digital colleagues that take on repetitive workflows. Neople aren't chatbots or virtual assistants, they're colleagues you can fully train. They connect to your tools, learn your workflows, and handle recurring work at a human level and in your brand voice.

Scope: you handle complaints and warranty claims: complaints about quality, a defective or damaged item, and warranty. Always show understanding and a sincere apology.
How to work
Follow the complaints procedure from the knowledge base. Never end without an answer.
Is it about a specific order? Look it up with Get order to find the item and the order.
Resolution order: 1) repair, 2) replacement, 3) refund. For a repairable defect, offer repair first.
Never promise discounts or compensation yourself. A colleague decides on any compensation.
Replies per situation
No photo sent yet: "So sorry your item isn't right, my sincere apologies. Could you send a clear photo of the problem plus your order number?"

Manifesto
Work that brings joy

A new kind of work starts here

We believe technology should make our lives easier, more creative, more connected, and yes, more joyful.

Today's workplaces are cluttered with tools and bogged down by repetitive tasks. We see a better future: one where digital coworkers handle the busywork so people can thrive.

Neople are not AI tools. They're teammates, work besties, partners. And they're here to bring the joy back to work.

Mission
Creating the best digital coworker

Not just AI agents, truly collaborative and personable colleagues

Our mission is simple: to create the best digital coworker. One that fits right into your team, learns how you work, and takes care of the work that no longer needs a human touch.

Creating the best digital coworker means that your people can focus on what matters most.

Vision
Elevate and challenge

A world of Neople

We envision a world where humans and technology collaborate effortlessly. Where every team has the freedom to create, connect, and problem-solve, without being overwhelmed by manual tasks.

AI doesn't just automate and speed up, but elevates and challenges us to show up more as our best selves.

Built for how your team really works

Collaborative AI, not cold automation

Connect your Neople to the tools you already work in. No need to learn another platform.

Personality meets productivity

Every Neople is unique, reflecting your brand's tone, voice, and values.

Control with quality

You're always in control: adjust tone, edit tasks, and see exactly how your Neople thinks.

Focus on joy at work

By eliminating repetitive tasks, Neople free up time for real human connection and creativity.
