CIOREVIEW >> Artificial Intelligence >> Inquio

Inquio has been recognized by CIOReview Magazine as the exclusive recipient of “Top Conversational AI Quality Platform 2026,” based on our proprietary methodology, reflecting its position in the industry, and is also named among “Top Artificial Intelligence Companies,” reflecting its broader leadership. This profile has been developed by the CIOReview research and editorial team based on insights from an interview with Martin Franc, CEO.

Inquio
The Quality Assurance and Diagnostic Layer for Conversational AI

Inquio

Martin Franc, CEO
Martin Franc, Inquio’s CEO, encountered the limits of conventional chatbot analytics from his personal experience of building conversational systems. Traditional analytics could show conversation volumes, intents and fallback rates. Yet, teams needed to determine whether the interactions served the customer’s specific purpose.

Franc sums up the gap, saying, “Nowadays, it doesn't make sense to monitor fallbacks. The problem is whether the answer is correct and helpful.”

Inquio has been designed to specifically address those limits. Its AI-powered Bot Report Card evaluates conversations to uncover issues overlooked by conventional metrics, allowing AI trainers and engineers to fix the underlying conversational system. Its quality-oriented insights help conversation designers improve interaction design and language, while product owners rely on Inquio’s analysis to monitor service quality and unsafe bot behavior.

From Chatbot Metrics to Conversation Quality

Inquio provides the missing quality assurance and diagnostic layer to conversational systems by analyzing conversation quality over quantity. It is shaped by Franc’s belief that quality now matters more than ever as generative AI can confidently produce wrong answers rather than visible failures. Inquio takes a different route to determine how useful the answers really are.

To analyze usefulness, the Inquio Score™ evaluates Resolution Accuracy, measuring whether the chatbot's responses are correct, complete and relevant to the user's request. However, a correct answer does not always mean a solved problem. Where conventional containment metrics only track whether a conversation avoided a human handoff, the Inquio Score™ measures Containment Quality to reveal whether the customer's request was actually resolved without unnecessary escalation or extra effort.

Nowadays, it doesn't make sense to monitor fallbacks. The problem is whether the answer is correct and helpful.

The score also considers whether a chatbot is sounding too robotic or ignoring basic conversational norms. Dialog Fluency flags such unnatural, unclear exchanges. On top of that, the platform’s Safety & Compliance dimension tracks incidents such as successful attacks, sensitive data exposure and bot misbehavior. The multidimensional score is not limited to reporting issues. It acts as an enterprise-oriented analysis engine designed for e-commerce and utilities as well as regulated environments like financial institutions and high-volume telecommunications operations.

With Inquio’s analysis, Vodafone improved its virtual assistant TOBi. The chatbot handled millions of interactions and, by conventional analysis, appeared healthy with intent accuracy around 96 percent and fallback rates near 5 percent. Yet customer feedback remained negative. Inquio found that only 67 percent of TOBi’s answers were correct. The remaining 33 percent were false positives, with nearly 70 percent of those attributed to hallucinations.

This showed that TOBi answered too readily, including when it did not have the right answer. The findings helped Vodafone shift focus from maximizing responses to improving the correctness of each one. Response accuracy subsequently rose from 67 percent to around 85 percent, while NPS moved from negative to positive.

Making the Analysis Actionable

Inquio does more than flag issues. It rates the severity of quality issues, safety incidents, sales opportunities and churn risks, and shows the affected conversations as well as the recommended steps for addressing them. The platform also provides periodic snapshots of conversational performance, which helps companies assess and resolve specific problems that would improve quality score. Based on the analysis, product owners can understand the overall quality of their chatbots and prioritize changes with the greatest potential impact.

The platform has also proved its usefulness in sectors where high conversation volumes make consistent evaluation difficult. Franc sees the high volume of conversational data as an underused source of intelligence that organizations fail to exploit effectively, mostly due to the lack of insightful analysis.

Inquio helps businesses convert that intelligence into actionable improvements. Its ability to analyze and improve conversational systems, and to uncover value beyond quality issues, earns Inquio the Top Conversational AI Quality Platform 2026 award.

Deep Dive

Measuring What Conversational AI Actually Resolves

Conversation volume can rise while the quality of the interaction quietly deteriorates. Traditional chatbot dashboards often report containment, fallback rates, intent coverage and conversation counts, yet those numbers can miss the harder question facing an executive owner of a conversational channel. Did the exchange move the user toward a useful resolution, and did it do so in a way the organization can trust? Generative models make that gap more visible. Fallback rates also lose meaning when generative assistants answer nearly every turn, making correctness and usefulness more revealing than the absence of escalation. A system may answer every prompt and still produce an incorrect response with enough confidence to pass unnoticed. Activity reporting alone is a weak basis for purchase decisions. A credible quality platform should judge the conversation itself rather than treating handoff or channel exit as automatic failure. Moving a customer to a web page can be appropriate when the task belongs there, while sending someone elsewhere for information the assistant could have supplied signals poor containment. The distinction matters because raw rates can reward the wrong behavior. Language analysis also has to reach below surface sentiment. Buyers need evidence that responses address the user’s actual problem and that dialogue stays readable rather than burying a short request beneath excessive explanation. Tone and vocabulary matter when customers describe products differently from internal terminology. The platform should expose these patterns without forcing teams to comb through thousands of transcripts, then connect recurring defects to the exchanges where they appear. Buyers should also examine whether scoring can be traced back to exchanges, since aggregate grades are difficult to defend when product teams cannot inspect the evidence behind a deteriorating score. “Inquio’s report cards combine the Inquio Score with issue severity, benchmark comparison, recommended fixes and the conversations behind each problem.” Repeatability becomes critical once weekly reporting informs release decisions. Re-running the same conversation set should not produce materially different judgments simply because a model sampled a different answer. Security cannot sit outside the quality view either. Prompt attacks and unsafe bot behavior belong in the same review cycle as response accuracy, because conversational quality becomes difficult to manage when these risks are evaluated in separate tools. Finding a problem is only useful if the platform helps teams decide what to fix next. Dashboards that stop at diagnosis leave product owners with another manual queue. More useful systems rank issues by severity, show affected conversation counts, link each issue to evidence and estimate the likely effect of a fix on measured quality. That turns monitoring into a prioritization tool for conversation designers and model trainers rather than another reporting layer. Integration should be equally practical. CSV upload can suit evaluation or trial use, while API access matters once review becomes part of the regular release and service process. Inquio fits this buying logic closely. Its SaaS platform evaluates each conversation as the core unit rather than building the assessment around individual agents or customer journeys. Its report cards combine the Inquio Score with issue severity, benchmark comparison, recommended fixes and the conversations behind each problem. Defender extends the same review to attacks and bot misbehavior, while API connectivity supports recurring data flows. Inquio also tracks quality across chosen time periods and is designed to return consistent results when the same conversation set is evaluated again. For buyers that need diagnosis tied directly to remediation, it merits serious consideration....Read more
