Boost.ai, a global leader in artificial intelligence for Fortune 1000 companies, today announced that the company has developed the official virtual agent for Slush 2019, the premier international startup and technology event held each year in Helsinki.
The new virtual agent, nicknamed Botzilla, taps Boost.ai’s exclusive conversational AI technology to offer personalized information and assistance for more than 25,000 anticipated conference-goers who will gather for two days starting Nov. 21. Attendees of Slush include up-and-coming startup founders, some of the biggest investors in the game, and key players represent ting many of the fastest-growing tech companies from more than 130 countries.
Lars Selsås, co-founder and CEO of Boost.ai said that “We are excited to put Boost.ai’s artificially intelligent virtual agent to the test in a new way as we help Slush 2019 event-goers navigate one of the world’s most prestigious, global tech events.”
Botzilla can help event participants as they plan their ticket purchases, providing pertinent details on prices, as well as offering guidance on which types of tickets to buy. The AI-powered virtual agent is also ideal for learning about speakers at the event and discovering information on the services offered at Slush, including matchmaking and pitching competitions that facilitate meetings between startup founders and investors, as well as the showcase studio.
Rasmus Ekholm, Product Lead at Slush said that “Each year Slush has become more popular, and we’re always searching for better ways to make the Slush experience outstanding and something our visitors were not even expecting. Botzilla is an exceptional example of personalizing the event experience, and it will help us ensure a smooth Slush visit to our 25,000 attendees.”
