This landmark implementation with Google and the big 3 communication carriers transforms traditional transactional, SMS announcements into an interactive, AI-powered conversation where consumers can: Swipe through carousel displays of upcoming events View and make purchases directly within their native messaging app Engage with concierge services for personalized information "This launch represents the first time a business has deployed verified RCS messaging simultaneously across major U.S. carriers," said Alexander Haque, co-founder and CEO of Clerk Chat.

This audience engagement showcases how RCS can transform customer engagement when combined with AI capabilities." Enables Consumers to Experience Personalized, Real-Time Interactions on Messaging Apps Internal testing shows that RCS messaging delivers significantly higher engagement rates than traditional SMS. The addition of Clerk Chat's AI agents further enhances conversion rates by personalizing the customer experience in real time.

We think this will democratize AI business usage since anyone can have a concierge-like experience right on their messaging app." The solution leverages Apple's recent adoption of the RCS protocol and Google's verified business messaging platform, creating a seamless experience for both Android and iOS users.
