Enterprise AI platform Leena AI raises $30M to be a 'Siri for employees'

The Transform Technology Summits start October 13th with Low-Code/No Code: Enabling Enterprise Agility. Leena AI, an AI-powered conversational platform used by major enterprises such as Nestlé, Coca-Cola, and P&G, has raised $30 million in a series B round of funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners. Founded out of New York in 2018, Leena AI is one of numerous conversational AI platforms that enable companies of all sizes to automate conversations through chatbot-like technology. However, Leena AI is carving a niche for itself by focusing specifically on human resource (HR) teams -- it's basically an automated employee helpdesk. Leena AI CEO and cofounder Adit Jain said that his company is setting out to be a "Siri for employees," emulating shifts elsewhere in the technological spectrum -- it's about replacing the old way of doing things with something more in line with what people are accustomed to in their everyday lives.
