While online advertising represents an easy way to reach millions of potential customers, it is incredibly hard to get a significant portion of them to buy what you are selling.

In general, managing human resources (HR) is a tedious, slow, and often inaccurate task, particularly at large organizations.

Furthermore, it also minimizes human-bias in decision-making.
The US-based startup Interface builds easy-to-deploy intelligent virtual assistants for enterprises.

Finally, the assistants also help with the management of passwords, applications, assets, and tickets.

Besides, conventional physical stores also employ digital assistants to enhance the consumer experience-
