How Voice AI is Revolutionizing Customer Engagement in Greek Commerce
The Stage Where Innovation Met Tradition
On May 31st, 2025, beneath the neoclassical arches of Athens’ historic Zappeion Megaron, Kalimera.ai took center stage at Europe’s premier e-commerce gathering – ECDM EXPO. Partnering with HappyOnline, we spearheaded the “Retail AI Now” workshop, demonstrating how AI voice agents are reshaping Greek retail’s future.

Our honoured Partner Ioannis Vasagiannis captivated retailers with a live demonstration of Kalimera.ai’s power:
✅ Real-World Scenarios:

“What took months now takes minutes – without coding,” Ioannis emphasized as the audience watched an AI agent resolve a simulated customer complaint with startling empathy.
