Let’s be honest, the perfect receptionist is a business owner’s dream. Someone who answers every call instantly, never has an off day, remembers every customer, and handles every enquiry with flawless professionalism. Here at Norango.ai, we’ve spent 15 years getting as close to that dream as possible with our AI Receptionist for UK businesses.
Our hybrid service already blends the best of AI efficiency with the warmth of real, UK-based human support. But the technology world never stands still. A groundbreaking new approach to AI, known as JEPA, is on the horizon, and it’s set to make our voice agents smarter, faster, and more affordable than ever before.
So, what is JEPA, and what will it actually mean for your business?
What on Earth is JEPA? (In Plain English)
Right now, most AI models learn by consuming enormous amounts of data. To understand audio, they have to process every tiny detail of a sound wave. It’s a bit like trying to recognise a song by analysing every single vibration in the air – incredibly power-hungry and inefficient.
JEPA (Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture) changes the game.
Imagine teaching someone to recognise a cat. Instead of making them memorise millions of cat photos pixel by pixel, you teach them the idea of a cat – its shape, its pointy ears, the way it moves, its general 'cat-ness'. They learn the underlying concept.
That’s what JEPA does for sound. It learns to understand the underlying meaning and context of a conversation without getting bogged down in the raw audio data. It predicts the meaning of the next part of a sentence, rather than just the sound. This makes it incredibly efficient.
Three Ways JEPA Will Supercharge Your Norango.ai Receptionist
This isn’t just abstract tech talk. Here’s how JEPA will directly improve the service you receive.
1. Deeper Understanding and Longer Memory
The old way: An AI might handle a simple booking well, but struggle to remember the context of a conversation from five minutes ago, let alone last week.
The JEPA way: Your AI receptionist will have a far more sophisticated understanding of context and history.
Real-World Example: A regular customer calls their favourite restaurant. The JEPA-powered Norango.ai agent doesn’t just say, “How can I help?” It says, “Hi Sarah, welcome back! Are you looking to book a table for two for this Friday evening again?” The customer then asks, “Actually, there will be three of us, and my mum is hard of hearing. Can we have a quiet table away from the speakers?” The JEPA agent understands this nuanced, multi-part request instantly and finds the perfect spot, because it’s processing the meaning, not just the words.
2. Truly Seamless Multilingual Conversations
Norango.ai already supports over 30 languages, but JEPA will make these interactions feel even more natural and fluid. Because it learns the underlying structure of language, it can switch between them more gracefully.
Real-World Example: A potential client from Germany calls a UK-based solicitor’s office that uses Norango.ai. The entire conversation happens fluently in German. The agent doesn’t just translate; it understands the specific legal nature of the enquiry, captures all the necessary details, and schedules a consultation with the right solicitor. There’s no awkward pausing or clunky translation – just a smooth, professional experience that wins a new client.
3. Lower Costs and Unbeatable Value
This is the best bit. Because JEPA is so much more efficient, it requires less computing power to run. It can process more calls, more intelligently, using fewer resources.
For our customers, this means two things:
1.More value: We can pack even more capability into our existing plans.
2.Stable, predictable pricing: It helps us keep costs down, ensuring our service remains the most cost-effective solution on the market. You can see for yourself by checking our AI vs traditional cost comparison.
This efficiency allows us to continue offering a powerful, fully managed service without the sky-high prices, making it a no-brainer for SMEs, startups, and any business where every penny counts.
