Leo is an empathetic and knowledgable conversational AI avatar, designed to help customers discover their ideal electric vehicle, simplifying the decision-making process and building trust through natural and personalised interactions.
A unique and personalised shopping experience
Leo stands out for its ability to guide users in an intuitive and engaging way, focusing on crucial specifications such as range, charging times, and driving habits.

Creativity and innovation in service of electric vehicles
The Triplesense Reply team has carefully handled every aspect of the project, from creative conception to technical execution:
- Creative Concept: development of a distinctive concept for the project.
- Tone of Voice: creation of a language that reflects BYD‘s identity and enhances user interaction.
