Pleasure to Make Your AI-Quaintance: x.ai and Volume Global Introduce Amy and Theodore

Dennis Mortensen, CEO and founder of x.ai, is on the cusp of revolutionising the way we arrange meetings with his AI Personal Assistant, Amy. Chris Sykes, CEO and founder of Volume Global, is working on Theodore, the IBM Watson-driven Virtual Consultant that could transform our experience of customer service. AIBusiness.org met up with Dennis and Chris to find out more about these exciting projects. In 2013, Dennis and his team at x.ai in New York decided it was time to cut out the'email ping pong' involved in setting up a meeting. Many have tried and failed to ultimately solve the problem, through extensions, plug-ins and various apps.
