ABOUT THE TEAM

Kai, your Airwallex AI assistant, is an AI-powered concierge built directly into the Airwallex platform that helps businesses manage their global financial operations through natural language. By drawing on the complexities of multi-currency transactions, regulatory nuances, and each customer's own Airwallex context, Kai delivers guidance that is instantly actionable and compliant — understanding your business context, answering questions in real time, and taking action on your behalf.

Kai helps customers onboard faster and operate more efficiently every day: it provides tailored setup guidance, opens Global Accounts, enables payment methods, issues and manages corporate cards, initiates and tracks transfers, sets up spend approval workflows, and surfaces real-time insights into spend and cash flow. It orchestrates Airwallex's broader fleet of domain agents while knowing when to bring a human into the loop, today resolving 88% of user conversations without escalating to support. As the first step in embedding AI across the Airwallex product suite, Kai is making global finance simpler, smarter, and increasingly invisible.
