Meta, Volvo and Writers at Work Lead the Conversation on WhatsApp with Omnichat

SINGAPORE, Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Omnichat, a leading omnichannel AI customer experience platform, recently held its Commerce Leadership Forum 2025 Series consecutively at the Meta Singapore and Meta Malaysia offices. Attendees benefited from enlightening discussions and insights shared by speakers from global social media giant Meta, premium automotive brand Volvo Car Malaysia, English and writing enrichment chain WRITERS AT WORK. The forums served as a premier platform to delve into the transformative impact of AI, data-driven insights, and the WhatsApp Business Platform on the landscape of customer engagement.

There is a fundamental shift in business-to-customer interaction, stating that messaging businesses is a way of life worldwide. This transformation is vividly illustrated by the recent statistics recorded in Meta’s 2023 and 2024 earnings: a staggering 1 billion people connect with a business account across Meta’s messaging services weekly. Vicky Yiu, APAC Strategic Partnership Manager of Meta highlighted the immense reach and potential of messaging as a primary channel for customer engagement. WhatsApp Business Platform is essential in the changing business landscape. Vicky also emphasised the growing importance of “WhatsApp Flows,” which allow businesses to create interactive, step-by-step experiences within the chat interface. These flows simplify data collection, appointment scheduling, and form completion, resulting in a more efficient and user-friendly experience.

According to the 2024 Business Messaging Usage Research by Kantar, 79% of online adults worldwide message with a business at least once a week, further emphasizing the importance of messaging. The significant number of daily conversations of 600 million between people and businesses on Meta’s technologies, as reported in Meta’s 2022-2023 earnings data, further highlights the importance of messaging. Albert Tiong, Regional Program Manager of Meta illustrated that “Meta Business Messaging leads to better results across the customer lifecycle compared to legacy channels.” From discovery and awareness to consideration, purchase, and re-engagement, two-way conversations drive improved marketing, sales, and support outcomes. Additionally, he noted that businesses utilizing paid messaging products have experienced a year-on-year doubling in numbers.

Patricia Yaw, Director of Marketing Operations and PR of Volvo Car Malaysia, is driving the brand’s digital transformation by proving that even legacy industries can evolve through conversational commerce. By adopting a centralised chat strategy, Volvo Car Malaysia now delivers a personalised customer experience entirely through WhatsApp. This strategic shift—from fragmented communication channels to a unified WhatsApp Business Platform—debuted during the brand’s much anticipated EX30 launch, which set new benchmarks for the brand, achieving its highest-ever test drive bookings, media impressions, and PR share of voice.

Using WhatsApp has demonstrated impressive performance metrics, including a remarkable 93% read rate. The click-through rate (CTR) is seven times higher than that of email, indicating a more effective engagement strategy. Additionally, the chatbot effectively manages one out of every four discovery questions, showcasing its efficiency in facilitating user inquiries.

As the conversation shifted from technology to outcomes, Patricia reflected on the impact of WhatsApp towards the two launches, “Choose your 90” launch event recorded 90% turnout rate, and also achieved the highest lead-to-opportunity conversion rate.

“We’ve seen firsthand how WhatsApp Business is transforming our ability to build stronger, more responsive relationships with customers,” she added. “Our WhatsApp campaigns during launches like the EX30 and Choose Your 90 significantly outperformed email, both in open and click-through rates, proving the importance of personalised, mobile-first messaging.”

Alan Chan, Founder & CEO of Omnichat showcased the transformational impact of AI-driven conversational commerce, explaining how businesses can harness automation and personalisation to optimise sales and enhance customer satisfaction.

“AI-powered conversational agents are revolutionising how businesses interact with customers,” said Alan. “Omni AI empowers businesses to create customised AI agents for various purposes, upload documents and resources to train them, and enable them to deliver faster and more accurate responses. From providing 24/7 instant support to sending hyper-personalised recommendations, AI enables companies to engage customers at every touchpoint efficiently and effectively.”

In essence, Omni AI is fundamentally changing the dynamics of business-customer interactions. These intelligent agents provide numerous benefits, including round-the-clock instant support and the ability to deliver highly tailored product recommendations. By effectively harnessing the power of AI, businesses can engage customers at every touchpoint throughout their journey, leading to increased efficiency and overall customer satisfaction.

Ang Kai Ning, HR & Finance Director of WRITERS AT WORK, highlighted how their education centre strategically leverages the WhatsApp Business Platform, facilitated by Omnichat, to enhance various aspects of their operations. Beyond basic messaging, WhatsApp has become a dynamic platform for interactive engagement, encompassing promotional messaging, efficient announcement scheduling, and responsive customer service.

“Omnichat’s integration with the WhatsApp Business Platform has been instrumental in transforming our communication strategy,” said Kai Ning. “We’ve seen exceptional results using WhatsApp broadcast to promote our webinars with our customers, achieving a 77.71% read rate and an 11.85% click-through rate, which translates to a fantastic 90% turnout.”

Furthermore, by implementing chatbot automation through Omnichat, WRITERS AT WORK has efficiently managed a substantial volume of customer interactions, handling 75,000 messages in the past year, with an impressive 99% of this communication occurring directly on WhatsApp. This demonstrates the pivotal role of the WhatsApp Business Platform, in conjunction with Omnichat’s capabilities, in streamlining communications, boosting engagement, and driving tangible results for WRITERS AT WORK.

This Commerce Leadership Forum 2025 Series served as a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation in driving business growth. By bringing together thought leaders and industry experts, the event inspired attendees to embrace new technologies, leverage data-driven insights, and reimagine customer engagement strategies for the digital age.

Prime Minister Visits Victorian Home Showcasing GoodWe Solar and Battery Technology

SYDNEY, Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and local MP Julian Hill visited a family home in South East Melbourne last week, where a GoodWe hybrid inverter and battery system was recently installed. Homeowner Shane is also one of GoodWe’s very own sales managers. The visit highlighted the success of the Federal Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries program, while underscoring the role of household solar and storage in Australia’s clean energy transition.

The Prime Minister toured the garage with Shane, his wife Danielle, their son Parker, and even the family dog, to see firsthand how solar paired with battery storage can dramatically cut bills.

“Sixty thousand people since 1 July have taken up our batteries rebate policy,” said Prime Minister Albanese. “It’s extraordinary that more than a thousand batteries are being installed in houses right around Australia, each and every workday. What’s driving it is that it’s good for the environment, but it’s also good for their bank balance as well.”

The Prime Minister pointed to the household’s experience as proof of the program’s impact. Before the battery installation, their monthly bill was over $300. After installing solar and storage, that figure dropped to just $59.21, even while powering a hybrid and a fully electric car.

Julian Hill, Member for Bruce, said local families were embracing solar and storage in record numbers. “Shane and Danielle are amongst thousands of Australians now making the choice to switch to solar as part of the renewable energy transition,” he said. “Families like theirs are enjoying enormous savings on their energy bills, while helping Australia harness some of the best renewable resources in the world.”

The visit came just one day after the Federal Government announced its acceptance of the Climate Change Authority’s advice to cut emissions by 62 to 70 per cent by 2035. The Prime Minister stressed that household solar and storage were critical to hitting those targets.

A boost for battery affordability

Dean Williamson, Country Manager for GoodWe Australia, said government support was making battery systems more affordable than ever.

“The battery rebate itself is around $370 per kWh as a saving, which is around 30-35% off the cost of an average system,” Williamson explained. “We have seen over the past 12-24 months that the price of the batteries, including the raw materials, has been coming down, so now it’s a really economically viable solution.”

GoodWe’s hybrid inverters and Lynx battery systems are already helping thousands of Australian households cut their reliance on the grid. With rebates lowering upfront costs, more families are able to unlock the benefits of storing solar power to use at night or during peak demand.

Powering Australia’s clean energy future

Prime Minister Albanese said the uptake of batteries demonstrates both household and national benefits. “For the same reason why a household invests in solar and batteries – an upfront cost followed by ongoing savings – our national economy benefits when we invest in renewable energy. It will lead to stronger growth as we go forward,” he said.

The Prime Minister also reaffirmed that the Cheaper Home Batteries program is part of a broader national plan that combines government support with private sector investment. “Just like here, the battery is supported with a rebate from the Commonwealth, but the investment is being made by the household. That partnership is what will drive the transition.”

With Australians facing cost-of-living pressures and rising energy needs, the combination of solar and batteries is proving to be both a household solution and a cornerstone of national energy policy.

For Shane and Danielle, the benefits are already clear. For the Prime Minister and GoodWe, the message is just as simple: homegrown solar and storage are central to Australia’s clean energy future.

About GoodWe:

GoodWe is a world-leading PV inverter and energy storage systems manufacturer listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (Stock Code: 688390). The company has more than 5000 employees located in 30 different countries and a team of over 1000 engineers working at its R&D centres to continuously optimise and advance energy storage technology.

NAVER D2SF Invests in GravityLabs, a Healthcare Startup Helping Users Build Healthy Habits

– Operates “MoneyWalk”, a global healthcare platform achieving more than 30 minutes of daily user engagement

– Records 40% of users from overseas markets, aiming to leverage rich health data for the CRO sector

– NAVER D2SF has been an early investor in healthcare startups since 2017, with expectations for future collaboration with NAVER’s Healthcare project

SEONGNAM, South Korea, Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — NAVER D2SF announced a new investment in GravityLabs, a healthcare startup dedicated to helping users build lasting healthy habits.

NAVER D2SF Invests in GravityLabs, a Healthcare Startup Helping Users Build Healthy Habits

GravityLabs operates MoneyWalk, a reward-based global healthcare platform that encourages users to log daily health activities by offering incentives, thereby fostering long-term habits while generating a wide range of valuable health data. Unlike typical healthcare apps that struggle to sustain engagement, MoneyWalk records more than 30 minutes of daily active usage per user, demonstrating strong retention and user commitment.

GravityLabs began with a Walk-to-Earn (W2E) model, rewarding users for daily physical activity, and is now evolving into a broader Health-to-Earn (H2E) ecosystem. It is advancing a comprehensive health data platform capable of managing diverse biometric signals. Through its AI-powered health camera, users can conveniently measure blood pressure, heart rate, and heart rate variability (HRV) with a smartphone. In addition, integration with Korea’s National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database has enabled even more reliable management of personal health records.

Since its launch two years ago, MoneyWalk has surpassed 1.3 million monthly active users (MAU) across 111 countries, positioning itself as a rising global healthcare app. Notably, the platform ranked eighth in Japan’s healthcare app category and has gained traction overseas without localized promotions, with approximately 40% of its MAU coming from markets such as Japan and the United States. Building on this momentum, GravityLabs plans to expand into data-driven healthcare businesses by partnering with insurance companies, contract research organizations (CROs), and public institutions.

Yang Sang-hwan, Leader of NAVER D2SF, stated, “GravityLabs is a team deeply committed to the mission of helping people build healthier lifestyles, delivering tangible improvements in users’ daily routines. As the potential of PHR-based healthcare continues to grow, we see meaningful opportunities for collaboration with NAVER’s own healthcare services in the future.”

Since 2017, NAVER D2SF has been an early investor in healthcare startups, with the sector now accounting for around 18% of its portfolio. Representative investments include PranaQ (AI sleep technology), Nuvilab (AI-powered food nutrition analysis), and Monitor Corporation (medical AI solutions). 

About NAVER 
Founded in 1999, NAVER is Korea’s largest Internet company and one of the world’s top tech companies.

Animon focuses exclusively on anime, enabling users to generate state-of-the-art anime videos with just a single idea or image. Whether crafting viral short videos or producing personal micro-series, Animon is the ultimate tool for creators. The Chinese version has been richly optimized for local users, offering styles like Chinese ink wash and other culturally resonant aesthetics to meet the creative and cultural demands of Chinese creators and audiences.

 An Anime Creation Powerhouse

Animon sets the standard for the industry’s first AI generation for anime, excelling in six key dimensions: quality, controllability, consistency, style, cost, and ease of use. This “hexagon of excellence” empowers both enthusiasts and professionals alike:

  • Anime Enthusiasts: Zero Barriers, Unlimited Creativity
    Animon provides free, unlimited generation, enabling fans to experiment freely. With simple text or image inputs, users can create high-quality anime shorts, making fan fiction and personal projects effortless.
  • Professional Creators: Studio-Grade Tools for All
    Animon Studio is tailored for professional animation teams and independent studios, addressing three core needs: high-quality visuals, keyframe consistency, and efficient output:
    • Best-in-Class Anime Generation: The platform introduces Image-to-Image tools, supporting precise operations like background replacement and pose adjustments, effectively resolving the industry challenge of maintaining character consistency across frames. The “Intelligent In-betweens” technology eliminates common AI video discontinuities, delivering natural, fluid, and lifelike scene transitions. Even creators without professional backgrounds can produce studio-quality work. The exclusive “Extend” feature allows creators to refine specific video segments by selecting any single frame from a five-second video and regenerating the following four seconds, granting unprecedented control to perfect every detail.
    • Peak Efficiency and Quality: The new Anicut video model series supports super-resolution up to 1080p, enabling studio-level video production at scale. The dedicated Aniframe model supports up to 1.5K HD quality, optimized for panoramic, close-up, and detailed scenes across diverse anime styles, ensuring efficient creation of high-quality assets.
    • Studio-Grade Support: Animon Studio offers dedicated workspaces with cloud storage, team collaboration interfaces, priority computing channels, and 24/7 technical support, ensuring seamless professional delivery.

“Animon’s goal is to make the most professional creation tools accessible to everyone, helping creators overcome resource and efficiency barriers to bring great ideas to life,” said Haiquan Li, Animon’s Technical Lead. “We believe that whether you’re an individual creator or a small anime studio, you can use our tools to produce your own anime series. Animon’s arrival will greatly drive innovation and development in China’s anime industry.”

“We’re not just providing a tool; we’re building a UGC platform focused on anime,” said Cheng Lu, President and CEO of CreateAI, Animon’s parent company. “We see a gap in today’s content market for a vertical community tailored for anime enthusiasts, where they can freely create and share. Animon will fill this gap with AI technology, removing creation barriers and unleashing creative passion while building a home for all anime fans.”

Animon’s arrival in China heralds a vibrant, inclusive era of AIGC (AI-Generated Content) anime creation. By blending cutting-edge AI with localized features, Animon empowers Chinese creators to produce culturally rich, professional-grade works with ease, fostering a new wave of creativity in the Chinese anime industry.
