To educate

Conversational digital transformation in the driving force of the project

“Digital conversational education” is to transfer to a person/society the ability to perform different tasks in digital conversational environments in a safe, efficient and satisfactory way.

To train

Conversational capitalization of the participating companies

“Training in conversational aspects” refers to the process of generation and development of specialized cognitive and socio-affective abilities that cause differences in specialization of the citizens, which produce growth in financial, human, technological, organizational and relational capital.

To solve

Measure the impact that each conversational solution has on its environment

A “conversational solution” is the set of work performed to solve a problem or frustration, satisfy a need or take advantage of an opportunity, covering the phases of enunciation, analysis, project, documentation and maintenance.

To research

Artificial intelligence research

To investigate is to analyze, find out or inquire because we do not know something and we need to provide some kind of solution to it. The solution we seek is to apply artificial intelligence (AI) intelligently, without dehumanizing conversations.
