The company

Only 28% of online customers get support in their native language. This not only results in lost revenue for companies (estimated at around $50Billion globally) but is also contributing to global inequality.

At Algomo, we are building an AI platform that helps companies of any size fully automate their customer service in 100+ languages, easily and affordably.

🏆 We have developed a unique technology where a single AI is fluent in 109 languages. All the other commercial players (including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM etc) combined support just 45. 

🌏 With the additional 64 languages, we are the first company to offer automated customer support to 1Billion people globally. Our mission is to facilitate access to digital goods to anyone in the world, no matter what language they speak.

▶️ Here is a 2-minute video demonstrating how the technology works.
