About LivePerson

LivePerson was founded in New York in 1995 and has evolved from a live chat tool into one of the most mature enterprise conversational AI platforms on the market. Its Conversational Cloud platform enables large organisations to deploy AI-powered chatbots, manage human agent messaging across digital channels (web, mobile, WhatsApp, Apple Messages for Business, SMS, and social), conduct AI-assisted voice interactions, and analyse conversation data at enterprise scale. LivePerson's AI capabilities include its own LLM-based intent detection and conversation management engine, integration with third-party LLMs (including OpenAI and Anthropic) for generative AI features, and an AI agent orchestration layer that blends automated and human responses within the same conversation thread. The platform's enterprise positioning means it includes extensive bot management tools, conversation analytics, A/B testing frameworks, and integration with major CRM and contact centre platforms. For European enterprises, LivePerson offers meaningful data residency options. EU-based deployments are available on AWS EU regions (Frankfurt), and LivePerson has long supported European enterprise deployments with GDPR-compliant DPAs, SCCs, and EU-specific contractual terms. The company is a public US corporation (NASDAQ: LPSN), which means the CLOUD Act applies to data it processes, but the combination of EU hosting, contractual protections, and mature DPA terms provides a reasonable compliance baseline for most European enterprise use cases. LivePerson holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, and has historically maintained GDPR compliance as a core product requirement given its significant European customer base. The company has also published documentation around NIS2 and DORA readiness for financial services customers. Pricing is enterprise-only, quote-based, and typically involves annual contract values in the range of $50,000–$500,000+ depending on conversation volumes, channels, and AI feature scope. LivePerson targets large enterprises and typically requires a minimum deployment scale that places it out of reach for SMEs. For large European retailers, financial services firms, telecoms, and utilities with high-volume customer service needs, LivePerson is one of the most battle-tested enterprise conversational AI options with a credible EU compliance posture.
