She can assist with tasks such as walking you through solutions, triggering automated processes, auto escalation, searching and presenting knowledge to users and many more.
Fabio Caversan, AI research and development manager at Stefanini NA and one of the creators of Sophie, will be promoting demos and showing all the benefits of Sophie 3.0, such as an easier way to integrate and add knowledge to her. “The new version of Sophie brings new tools to update her knowledge to quickly integrate her with other systems, platforms or websites.” said Mr. Caversan. “With our accelerators, businesses are up and running faster, for faster automation and savings. Sophie’s implementation takes about half the time of competitors and in most cases half the price.”
