SquadStack.ai, a pioneer in AI-led sales and CX transformation, today announced the launch of its In-App Voice AI Assistant, an agentic conversational layer that turns any webpage or app screen into a live, guided experience.

This marks the next evolution of digital experiences. Every journey can now become intuitive and frictionless, with apps that listen, understand intent, and guide users instantly at the moment of need.

Digital journeys often break when users are forced to scroll, search, compare, and guess their way through complex decisions. Up to 60 percent of high-intent customers drop off during early exploration because help does not arrive in time. The In-App Voice AI Assistant eliminates this friction by enabling users to speak or chat inside the interface without redirects, wait times, or effort. This real-time guidance improves clarity, accelerates decision-making, and ensures more users progress deeper into the funnel.

“The next generation of digital experiences will be conversational by default.. Interfaces must stop behaving passively and start guiding users in real time, regardless of language or complexity. The In-App Voice AI Assistant represents our vision for this future, where interfaces behave intelligently, experiences feel intuitive, and every user can move forward effortlessly.”

— Apurv Agrawal, Co-Founder & CEO, SquadStack.ai

Consider a digital car-buying journey, where users often struggle to compare variants, understand pricing differences, or evaluate which model best fits their needs. These moments of uncertainty create hesitation and drop-offs. The In-App Voice AI Assistant resolves this by allowing users to simply ask questions inside the journey and receive instant, expert-level guidance. This builds confidence, reduces decision friction, and moves more users toward the right choice without leaving the flow.

The assistant is powered by SquadStack.ai’s Humanoid AI Agent Stack, trained on billions of structured conversations across India. Built to handle diverse accents, languages, and real-world user behavior, it delivers the most natural and human-sounding voice experience in India. The underlying voice engine recently passed the Turing Test milestone for naturalness, reinforcing its ability to create lifelike, high-trust interactions, which is a critical requirement for Bharat-scale adoption.

The In-App Voice AI Assistant strengthens workflows across assisted sales, product comparison, qualification flows, onboarding support, account opening, and ecommerce navigation. Early pilots have demonstrated meaningful reductions in early-stage drop-offs and faster conversion velocity across BFSI, automotive, ecommerce, education, and travel.

Designed for enterprise-grade deployment, the solution includes advanced security controls and Indian data residency to meet regulatory and industry standards. Delivered as an embeddable SDK, it integrates seamlessly into existing web and app journeys without disruption. It is now available across Web, Android, and iOS.

XECH takes a major leap in its retail journey with the launch of its latest Experience Centre in Ahmedabad, located at Dhanlaxmi Complex, Ashram Road, Usmanpura. Designed to offer an immersive, hands-on shopping experience, the store caters to walk-in customers, resellers, and corporate buyers alike. This marks XECH’s third retail expansion, following the successful launch in Hyderabad on 31st May, 2025; at Rudram Towers, PG Road, Secunderabad, and its flagship outlet in Pune, which opened on 19th October, 2023.

The event witnessed participation from the company’s leadership team and local channel partners alike, making it a landmark moment for tech lovers and the retail community in the region.

Each of XECH’s store is strategically positioned in high-growth urban hubs, serving as a direct touchpoint for customers to explore its expanding range of lifestyle tech products, smart gadgets, and premium corporate gifting solutions. With aggressive expansion plans underway, XECH is targeting 2X revenue growth this fiscal year, powered by its omni-channel presence, innovative product lineup, and scalable operations model. These Experience Centres are a key milestone in bridging the gap between digital and physical retail — creating spaces where speed, quality, and tactile engagement converge.

Commenting on the expansion, Mr. Pranay Punjabi, Founder and CEO of XECH Technologies Pvt. Ltd., said: “Each city plays a strategic role in our retail vision. Pune gave us our first physical touchpoint, Hyderabad validated our scale strategy in a dynamic tech market, and Ahmedabad will strengthen our presence in western India — connecting us to customers who value smart, dependable tech. These are more than just stores; they’re brand experience hubs where people can interact with our innovations firsthand. We’re focused on making practical, well-designed technology accessible to those who need it — whether at home, work, or in business.”

Retail store visitors can explore the full ecosystem of XECH products — including bestsellers and upcoming innovations — in an interactive, hands-on setting. XECH thus plans to further expand its retail presence in the coming quarters for a much more immersive experience for its consumers.

From portable kettles and cordless vacuum cleaners to Bluetooth clocks, eye massagers, tire inflators, and garment steamers, XECH’s portfolio reflects a sharp focus on solving real-world problems through tech that’s intuitive, multifunctional, and ready to gift. Each product is crafted to offer everyday convenience — for individual users as well as corporate buyers seeking thoughtful, brandable tech solutions.

XECH is offering an exclusive 10% in-store discount for the entire month of July to celebrate its Ahmedabad launch.

By choosing Viva’s EPD-certified ACPs, architects and developers can earn up to two LEED points for their green building projects — a valuable contribution toward sustainable and environmentally responsible infrastructure. This certification not only validates Viva’s low environmental footprint but also supports compliance with international green building standards like LEED,BREEAM, IGBC & GRIHA. 
Viva ACPs is engineered for versatility and performance, finding applications across a wide spectrum of industries. In architecture, they are a preferred choice for building facades and cladding due to their lightweight nature, weather resistance, and aesthetic flexibility. The panels are equally effective in interior design, enhancing walls, ceilings, and partitions in commercial and residential spaces. Beyond construction, Viva ACPs are used in premium signage, transportation (such as vehicle interiors and bodies), retail fixtures, modern furniture, and even solar panel structures demonstrating the product’s adaptability, durability, and growing relevance in both design and infrastructure.
Nitin Jain, Director, Viva Composite Panel Pvt. Ltd., says, “Achieving this EPD certification marks a major milestone in our sustainability journey. It reflects our dedication to responsible manufacturing, transparency, and our vision of building a greener future through innovative cladding solutions.” 
Manufactured at Viva’s state-of-the-art facility in Umbergaon, Gujarat, the ACPs are designed using advanced Korean technology and are known for their durability, aesthetic appeal, and versatile applications across facades, interiors, signage, transportation, and more. With this EPD, Viva becomes one of the few Indian ACP manufacturers to offer internationally benchmarked sustainability credentials empowering architects, developers, and builders to make informed and eco-conscious material choices.
