TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA
Ada, the automated customer experience company that provide chat bots used in customer support, makes two exciting executive hires.
Founded in Toronto in 2016, Ada has developed an AI-powered software platform to support customer service teams in large businesses. Ada’s chatbot allows customer support teams to provide automated responses to inbound customer requests and questions, to allow customers to receive answers to their own questions more quickly than human-staffed customer support.
