In addition, Circles – the world’s leading technological company in digital telco SaaS – has made a major breakthrough during its long-term strategic partnership with OpenAI. With the development of an advanced “AI Concierge,” the firm has brought about a revolutionary transformation in the telecom sector, setting an unprecedented global standard for AI-powered consumer experiences.
Designed using the OpenAI API system, the AI concierge acts as the central nervous system of the AI-native telco stack developed by Circles. As opposed to conventional telco stacks which simply integrate AI into pre-existing disjointed processes, Circles has restructured the entire telecom industry from scratch. This innovation enables telcos to transcend routine customer services and explore monetization opportunities through proactive, personalized interactions on a global scale.
Redefining Operational Excellence: CareX
This change is spearheaded by CareX, which is an advanced tool based on multi-agent technology. Using a network of system, custom, and content agents, CareX effectively executes various complicated procedures from network trouble-shooting to billing issues with 95 percent success rate. Right now, CareX automatically handles 85 percent of global inquiries without manual effort from staff. This allows telecommunication companies to provide immediate assistance while minimizing costs.
Driving Growth: Circles Xplore IQ
To enhance the existing framework of support, there is Circles Xplore IQ – an artificial intelligence-powered monetization platform that helps telcos evolve from merely responding to customers’ demands into growth drivers for their business.
Xplore IQ works by leveraging a comprehensive three-tier model:
1. Intent Classification: Anticipating the needs of users before they become aware of them.
2. Hyper-Personalization: Merging the predictions with personalized offerings using a highly accurate recommendation system.
3. Agentic Execution: Executing transactions automatically, including plan upgrades.
The early deployments of Xplore IQ have produced some impressive outcomes. Circles.Life Singapore recorded a 22% boost in Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) through its early deployment, while the use of hyper-personalized retention methods resulted in a 9% drop in customer churn.

Leadership Perspectives
Reflecting on the strategic importance of the collaboration, Awais Malik, Global Chief Growth Officer at Circles, stated: “AI should empower users – not force-fit into outdated journeys. OpenAI’s role has been critical in enabling Circles to scale this vision globally. With the AI concierge, we are moving beyond providing simple answers to delivering real-world outcomes, along with balancing cost and latency to maximize value for operators and customers alike.”
Oliver Jay, Managing Director, International for OpenAI, highlighted the broader industry implications: “Circles is demonstrating how advanced AI can modernize essential industries like telecommunications at scale. By combining frontier models with multi-agent systems, they are enabling telecom operators globally to deliver faster, smarter and more personalized customer experiences. This milestone is a strong example of how AI can deliver tangible value for businesses and customers they serve.”
A Vision for the Autonomous Telco
CareX and Xplore IQ are the cornerstones of a cohesive AI-first stack, blending CX, ops, and monetization within one intelligent layer. This marks the first step towards an ambitious roadmap. In the next two years, Circles and OpenAI will work to advance their collaboration and bring about the autonomous telco of the future, delivering peak performance for both profit and customer satisfaction.
