Circles and OpenAI have unveiled an AI concierge built on a multi-agent architecture, resolving 85% of telecom queries without human intervention.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circles, the Singapore-based global technology company that powers digital telecom operators, announced Tuesday a major milestone in its ongoing collaboration with OpenAI, the public launch of an AI concierge designed to fundamentally transform how telecom operators serve their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement marks a significant step in a multi-year partnership between the two companies. Together, they are working toward what they describe as the world’s first fully AI-native telco stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than layering artificial intelligence on top of existing fragmented systems, Circles has rebuilt the telecom customer experience from the ground up. At the center of this rebuild is CareX, a proprietary multi-agent system that coordinates specialized agents to handle complex, end-to-end customer tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CareX manages everything from network diagnostics to billing with a 95% resolution rate and currently resolves 85% of global customer queries without any human intervention. That capability, notably, moves it well beyond traditional FAQ-based chatbots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AI concierge itself is built directly on OpenAI’s API platform, meaning it draws on frontier large language model capabilities rather than a standalone or proprietary model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside CareX, Circles has also deployed Xplore IQ, an AI-powered monetization engine built in three distinct layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, an intent classification layer predicts what a customer needs before they express it. Second, a recommendation engine then matches that identified need with a hyper-personalized offer. Third, an agentic execution layer completes the transaction such as a plan upgrade or downgrade autonomously, without requiring the customer to navigate additional steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its initial phase, Xplore IQ delivered a 22% ARPU (average revenue per user) uplift for Circles. Life Singapore, and contributed to a 9% reduction in customer churn. Unlike a one-time campaign tool, Xplore IQ is designed to learn continuously from each customer interaction and sharpen its accuracy over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awais Malik, Global Chief Growth Officer at Circles, emphasized that the goal is delivering real outcomes rather than retrofitting AI into outdated workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

AI should empower users not force-fit into outdated journeys. With the AI concierge, we are moving beyond providing simple answers to delivering real-world outcomes, along with balancing cost and latency to maximize value for operators and customers alike.
Awais Malik, Global Chief Growth Officer at Circles.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Oliver Jay, Managing Director of International at OpenAI, added that the Circles deployment illustrates how advanced AI can modernize essential industries at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

By combining frontier models with multi-agent systems, they are enabling telecom operators globally to deliver faster, smarter and more personalized customer experiences. This milestone is a strong example of how AI can deliver tangible value for businesses and customers they serve.
Oliver Jay, Managing Director of International at OpenAI.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Together, CareX and Xplore IQ form the two pillars of Circles’ AI-native telco stack, unifying customer experience, operations, and revenue generation into a single intelligent layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next two years, Circles and OpenAI plan to continue accelerating an AI roadmap aimed at realizing the vision of a fully autonomous telco capable of maximizing both profitability and customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2014, Circles is a global technology company that partners with leading telco operators across 14 countries and 6 continents, including KDDI Corporation, Etisalat Group (e&), AT&T, and Telkomsel. The company is backed by Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia Capital), Warburg Pincus, Founders Fund, and EDBI, the investment arm of the Singapore Economic Development Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
