(Updates with news on MCE partnership in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3; Adds share move in the last paragraph)

Canadian telco giant TELUS (T.TO, TU) on Tuesday moved to expand its partnership with MCE Systems to leverage generative artificial intelligence integration into the Mobile Klinik Device Checkup mobile app.

"The results of the generative AI proof of concept test are clear in demonstrating generative AI's value to not only streamline delivery of remote, on-device customer service, but also achieve quantifiable business results," said Mobile Klinik VP, Products, Marketing and Logistics Braden St. John.

MCE is also part of AWS's Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Accelerate program.

This comes after Telus earlier on Tuesday said it is using Amazon Web Services, a unit of Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), IoT Device Management's new managed integrations feature as a key component of its SmartHome+ solution. TELUS said it will leverage the platform to launch do-it-yourself and fully monitored security plans later this year.

"This technology not only simplifies device integration but also provides the scalability and security needed to support TELUS's growing smart home ecosystem," said AWS IoT Vice President Yasser Alsaied.

Shares were last seen down $0.02 or 0.3% at $22.46 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
