ForMotiv Background

It has probably never occurred to you, but as the Internet shifted virtually every business model online, one key element of human behavior was lost - reading someone's body language.

Using modern technologies for data science, AI and ML, we analyze behavioral cues collected while users engage with web applications to classify and predict end-user intent. ForMotiv is helping leading financial service companies to improve online experiences as well as reduce risk and fraud. ForMotiv is a real-time behavioral intelligence tool that helps companies fill in the missing link when it comes to their customer data - their digital body language.
