Gondwana Collection Namibia is excited to announce the launch of GECCO (Gondwana Electronic Customer Care Operative), our new AI-powered customer care consultant. Developed in response to the growing volume of customer messages, GECCO aims to provide prompt and accurate answers to clients' questions, thereby improving overall customer service levels.
As a state-of-the-art AI consultant, GECCO is constantly learning and evolving to provide reliable information. While it may not be perfect in answering subjective questions, it sources factual data from our "Grounding" software and database. GECCO was designed primarily to answer Gondwana-related queries with over 95% accuracy. However, it can also provide information about Namibia, though with slightly less accuracy. Our team continually works to enhance GECCO's performance in this area.
GECCO is capable of communicating in multiple languages, including English, Afrikaans, German, French, and Italian, to better assist our diverse clientele. In instances where GECCO cannot answer a question or if a potential problem arises, our decision-making software will promptly redirect the conversation to a human consultant.
Gondwana Collection will soon release a podcast with GECCO's masterminds, Louis van den Berg (middle) and Salim Katjivirue (l.), as well as Gondwana's CEO, Gys Joubert. Photo: Prostudio

We are committed to providing exceptional customer service and believe that GECCO will play a significant role in enhancing our clients' experiences. We welcome any feedback as we continue to refine and develop this innovative AI consultant.
