Cognitive AI is Key to Human-Digital Workplace Collaboration

Amelia is designed to deliver the best elements of human interaction – conversation, expression, emotion and understanding – to everyday user experiences, driving deeper customer connections and greater business value. Amelia´s cognitive brain includes state-of-the-art affective computing and sentiment analysis to enable her to model and appropriately respond to a user’s emotion, mood and personality. Amelia’s deep learning capabilities enable her to continuously learn from human interactions and create even more engaging experiences.

With Amelia’s interpersonal and communication skills, human workers with little or no technical expertise can collaborate with Amelia as easily as they do with each other.  Amelia’s interactions far surpass the experience delivered by back-end automation bots (RPA) that can only understand structured data or APIs as input, not unscripted requests given by users in natural language.  Unlike chatbots that react solely to keyword-driven instructions and follow limited, static decision trees, Amelia uses Natural Language Processing to easily recognize intent and decipher unstructured dialogue. With advanced context switching and awareness, Amelia can switch between subjects with ease without losing any inputted information, helping her resolve complex user requests faster.

Chetan Dube, CEO at IPsoft said: “While some enterprises are downloading bots in an attempt to build a hybrid workforce, DigitalWorkforce.ai is the only marketplace with digital replicas of human job roles, utilizing Digital Employees with both front- and back-end proficiency. People continuously learn and improve at their jobs by collaborating and interacting with customers, colleagues and competitors — the same applies to AI We are already seeing the substantial impact that automation and cognitive AI can have on an organization’s productivity and efficiency.”

Building on decades of innovation in automation and AI, IPsoft continues to fundamentally expand what automation and cognitive technologies can accomplish and demonstrate its ongoing leadership in enterprise AI.  With DigitalWorkforce.ai, the market moves closer to IPsoft’s vision of a symbiotic digital-human workforce, giving companies the ability to fully harness the potential ROI in AI.
