09:02 AM EDT, 09/04/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Wishpond Technologies ( WPNDF ) on Thursday said it has filed three new non-provisional utility patent applications in the area of conversational AI and sales automation. The applications expand Wishpond's ( WPNDF ) intellectual property portfolio and advance its SalesCloser AI platform, the company said.

The first filing introduces an embedded AI assistant, already within SalesCloser, to allow businesses to create and manage AI voice agents by replacing workflows with a conversational interface.

The second filing introduces technology that enables AI agents to detect whether outbound calls connect with a live person, voicemail, or an automated interactive voice response (IVR) menu. The system can then decide whether to leave a pre-set message, disconnect, or navigate menus to reach a person.

The third filing addresses booking meetings. By connecting directly to calendar systems, AI agents can propose times, confirm appointments, and handle rescheduling directly within the natural flow of conversation. This feature is already implemented in SalesCloser.

"These new patent filings highlight our continued focus on solving real-world challenges businesses face when adopting AI for sales and marketing," said Chief Executive Ali Tajskandar. "By enabling businesses to build agents through a conversational interface, ensuring outbound calls connect with live people, and scheduling appointments seamlessly in real time, we are addressing some of the most common friction points in customer engagement. Several of these technologies are already implemented in SalesCloser, underscoring our ability to translate innovation into practical use."

Wishpond ( WPNDF ) shares closed up $0.01, to $0.14, on the TSX Venture Exchange on Wednesday.
