DNA's new AI bot enhances customer experience for businesses
The DNA Business Apuri is an AI-based tool that allows companies to improve their customer service accessibility and overall customer experience. Designed specifically for the Finnish market, the DNA Business Apuri is a reliable and secure AI bot that helps especially small and medium-sized enterprises elevate their customer experience by automating tedious catalog searches, responding to complex inquiries, and providing service even when traditional customer support is closed. The service will be available to DNA's corporate customers starting September 1, 2025.

The DNA Business Apuri responds to all customer service and sales inquiries on companies' websites or via email on behalf of corporate clients. It adapts to the company's operations and communicates purposefully while optimizing customer satisfaction and results. The tool is user-friendly and can be quickly implemented. When necessary, the AI-based DNA Business Apuri seamlessly integrates human customer service into the service process.
"With the DNA Business Apuri, communication can occur via messages or voice. It understands text, audio, images, and various documents. The AI bot always communicates in the customer's language and can use the company's brand-specific communication style and tone. In addition to conversations, it can also create plans or solution proposals for customers when needed. The bot helps our client companies serve their own customers even better," says Mari Eklund, Head of Communication Solutions for DNA's Business Division.
The DNA Business Apuri has been developed in collaboration with Oulu-based LastBot and utilizes both common language models and patented technology that tailors the responses given to end customers according to the company's communication style and goals. The service adapts to the needs of each business.
"A DNA business customer can define the DNA Business Apuri to handle customer contacts entirely through AI or only to collect background information, after which the conversation can be transferred to a human customer service representative. The service can be enriched with the company's own data sources, making it increasingly intelligent and customized to each company's needs. The DNA Business Apuri can be trained just like a new employee," summarizes Eklund.

Apple vei kärkipaikan sekä DNA:n kuluttaja- että yritysasiakkaiden myydyimpien puhelinten listalla iPhone 16 Pro 5G -mallillaan myös elokuussa.

Koululaistutkimus: vanhempien huoli pienten lasten älypuhelimista heräsi – ruutuaikaa rajoitetaan nyt kiihtyvällä tahdilla7.8.2025 09:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Suurin osa vanhemmista rajoittaa 5–12-vuotiaiden lastensa puhelimella viettämää aikaa tavalla tai toisella, selviää DNA:n teettämästä Koululaistutkimuksesta. Siitä huolimatta reilu kolmannes 5–12-vuotiaista viettää puhelimillaan 2–4 tuntia päivässä. Perheissä, joissa lapselle on päätetty hankkia puhelin yhteydenpitoa varten, on entistä useammin päädytty kellopuhelimeen. Kellopuhelimella on helppo rajoittaa lapsen älylaitteilla viettämää aikaa, mutta myös lykätä lapsen oman älylaitteen hankintaa.
School Survey: parents concerned about young children’s smartphone use – screen time is now being restricted at an accelerating rate7.8.2025 09:00:00 EEST | Press release
According to a School Survey commissioned by DNA, most parents limit the amount of time that children aged 5–12 can spend on their phones in one way or another. However, in spite of this, just over a third of 5–12-year-olds spend 2–4 hours a day on their phones. More and more families who want their children to have a phone for contact purposes have decided to get a smartwatch meant for kids. A smartwatch is an easy way to both limit the amount of time a child spends on smart devices and to postpone the purchase of their first smartphone.
