DAX enables secure contextual knowledge retrieval, guided assistance, lead capturing, and responsible AI governance for customers, partners, developers, and internal stakeholders. A reusable GenAI SDK accelerated delivery, ensuring consistent, governed chatbot experiences across Deluxe’s lines of business (LOBs).
