Dougherty continued, “SmartAction’s cloud-based conversational AI solution is leading this fast-growing virtual assistant category with their ‘LIFE LESS HARD™’ obsession that puts the effortless customer experience (CX) above all else, while assisting contact centers with a near frictionless transition to automation.
