Klarna Launches AI CEO Hotline for Real-Time Feedback

Imagine calling the CEO of your favorite finance app and getting an immediate, thoughtful response. That’s exactly what Klarna has rolled out with its new AI hotline. By cloning CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski’s voice and insights, the company is creating a direct pipeline from customer feedback to product innovation.

How the AI Hotline Works

Klarna’s AI hotline uses a synthetic voice model trained on hundreds of hours of Sebastian Siemiatkowski’s recorded interviews and earnings calls. The result? A conversational agent that not only sounds like the CEO but also reflects his knowledge of Klarna’s mission and roadmap.

When a user dials in, “AI Sebastian” greets them, prompts for opinions on product features, and captures every suggestion. Each call generates a transcript and a concise summary, which is then fed into an internal live feed and innovation dashboard.

Accelerating Product Feedback and Innovation

By automatically analyzing call data with a large language model, Klarna can categorize issues, gauge sentiment, and identify emerging requests—often in real time. This approach slashes the lag between feedback and action.

• Rapid capture of user pain points
• Automated insights pipeline feeding a live dashboard
• Priority assignment for engineering tasks in real time

Klarna’s product and engineering teams can then review “AI Sebastian’s” insights immediately, turning feedback into tickets that may land on a developer’s desk by the next day.

Why It Matters for Fintech and Beyond

This interactive AI approach transforms customer research from passive surveys into dynamic conversations. It elevates user voices and ensures that product roadmaps align with real-world needs, a critical advantage in competitive fintech markets.

Other industries—from e-commerce to SaaS—can adopt similar hotlines to accelerate customer-driven innovation, reduce churn, and enhance user satisfaction.
