Angel.ai, a company that builds chat bots, acqui-hired by Amazon

It looks like Google, which yesterday acquired API.ai, a company that helps developers build conversational interfaces, isn't the only major tech company hoovering up chat bot talent. The e-commerce giant confirmed that Angel.ai "I can confirm that Navid started at Amazon, and that his first day was yesterday. We don't have anything further to share at this time," an Amazon spokesperson told TechCrunch. A quick check on LinkedIn confirms Hadzaad's new job title: "Head of New Bot Products at Amazon".
