Proactive by design
Unlike a traditional chatbot that waits for someone to open a conversation, Bucky is designed around proactive engagement. It gives passersby a reason to stop, interact and discover what a business has to offer.

What is Bucky AI?
IN DEVELOPMENTMeet Bucky AI. Your Digital Promoter.
An AI promoter that turns attention into action.
Bucky AI is an AI-powered promotional platform designed to help businesses engage people in physical spaces through interactive digital experiences and conversational AI.
- Proactive engagement
- Business-approved information
- Kiosk, tablet or compatible screen
On any compatible screen
Through a digital kiosk, tablet or compatible screen, Bucky can introduce a business, communicate verified product information, highlight promotions, answer customer questions, display visual content and guide interested visitors towards a next step.
Presence with consistency
The experience is designed to combine the engaging presence of a human promoter with the availability and consistency of a digital system.
Alongside your team
Bucky is not intended to replace every human interaction. Instead, it aims to give businesses another way to communicate with visitors, especially in busy environments where staff may be occupied, promotions need consistent presentation or customer attention is difficult to capture.
Built to adapt
From retail stores and restaurants to shopping malls, exhibitions, product launches and service businesses, Bucky is being developed as an adaptable promotional platform that can be configured around different businesses and their objectives.
Attention is valuable. But getting it is difficult.
Limited human availability
- Employees have other responsibilities.
- Human promoters can only engage a limited number of visitors at a time.
- Repeated explanations can become tiring.
Passive digital experiences
- Traditional information screens often display content without meaningful interaction.
- Ordinary chatbots usually wait for customers to initiate conversations.
- Visitors may walk past without discovering what is being offered.
Inconsistent promotion
- Different staff members may explain products differently.
- Promotions and important product details may not always be communicated consistently.
- Businesses need a more structured way to present verified information.
How Bucky works
Five stages take a visitor from noticing the screen to a clear next step.
- 01
Attract
Bucky uses an interactive promotional experience to encourage passersby to stop and engage.
- 02
Engage
Visitors can interact with Bucky through a tablet, kiosk or compatible display.
- 03
Discover
Bucky introduces relevant business information, products, services, offers and visual content.
- 04
Connect
Visitors can ask questions, explore displayed materials and receive guidance towards a relevant next step.
- 05
Guide
Bucky can help direct visitors towards a store location, promotion, product information or another business-defined action.
What makes Bucky different?
A promoter, not just a chatbot.
Traditional chatbot
- Waits for a user to initiate a conversation.
- Primarily responds to incoming questions.
- Often operates as a standalone chat interface.
- Usually depends on the customer already knowing what to ask.
Bucky AI Promoter
- Designed to encourage engagement proactively.
- Introduces the business and its offerings.
- Combines interaction with visual promotional content.
- Can guide customers through a structured promotional journey.
- Is designed for physical business environments.
These are typical differences in product approach, not limitations of every chatbot.
