Compugen is introducing a new AI-powered retail technology demo at its Industry Experience Centre (IEC) in Richmond Hill, Ontario: the SYNQ AI Radio Agent.

More than 80% of the global workforce is classified as frontline workers, yet many employees have limited or no access to AI-powered tools while doing their jobs. For retailers, that can mean employees have to leave the floor, find another device, or ask someone else to access the information they need.

What is SYNQ AI Radio?

SYNQ AI Radio transforms a retailer's existing two-way radios into intelligent, connected devices that give frontline workers hands-free access to AI tools through natural voice interaction.

Powered by Lenovo edge computing, the SYNQ AI Agent allows retail employees to access inventory, product knowledge, store information, and enterprise data without reaching for a smartphone, laptop, or other computing device.

The result is a practical way to bring AI closer to frontline retail employees and the customers they serve.
