Amplify.ai, developer of the first enterprise-class AI-driven omnichannel engagement platform, brings conversational AI technology to Google’s Business Messages platform to help brands seamlessly engage customers and constituents.

The virtual assistant helps disseminate accurate and timely COVID-19 information to citizens, as well as share real-time information for more  than 11 thousand food banks and shelters locations across India.
