Establishing OuluBot
Establishing OuluBot – the smart virtual assistant was conducted as an innovative public purchase. The partner for development was selected in March 2020, after which a development period began in the project (1.5.2020 - 31.12.2021). As partners for development are Digital Workforce Oy together with Front AI.
During the approximately year-long development period OuluBot developed into a smart virtual assistant which enables guiding and counselling customers 24/7. Oulubot was established in production use in 1.1.2022. Development work continues still. We will let you know about any new features and published topics as the work proceeds.
