Block's (XYZ) Square unit said Tuesday that it launched a conversational artificial intelligence assistant for its Square platform in the UK.

The AI assistant, named Square AI, is a free tool built into the Square platform and is already used by certain businesses in the UK through the feature's early access phase, the company said. Square AI is designed to provide business insights based on data, among other features.

Square AI is set for public release to UK sellers within February, the company said.
