About
Hyro automates the creation of AI-powered conversational interfaces for enterprises to support the customer journey across all digital touch points. The company's solution uses natural language understanding to allow people to have two-way conversations, using both voice and chat, that simplify their access to information. Hyro provides organizations with frictionless deployment and maintenance processes by automatically building a knowledge graph out of their existing content without any integrations, playbooks, or training data. Hyro is aiming to enable enterprises to converse easily, convert more, and collect actionable customer insights along the way.
