Amelia is an enterprise conversational AI platform that combines deterministic workflows with generative AI to automate customer and employee interactions. The platform handles complex, multi-turn conversations across customer service, IT support, HR, and other business functions while reducing escalations to human agents. Unlike rigid rule-based chatbots, Amelia can orchestrate multiple AI agents and adapt to user requests that deviate from training data, delivering human-like interactions at scale. The company was acquired by SoundHound AI in August 2024 for $80 million.
