ASAPP turns artificial intelligence into performance software, empowering people to be their best, so they can provide amazing customer experiences. ASAPP solves complex, data-rich problems — the kind where there are huge systemic inefficiencies, and where a real solution has a significant economic impact. We address those challenges with artificial intelligence and machine learning products that automate human work, radically improving efficiency and effectiveness. Today, we apply these capabilities to transform customer experience contact centers. More than ever before software defines how we experience the world, yet the people between your brand and your customers are often tethered to systems and software developed decades before. ASAPP’s Research team is driving the advancement of artificial intelligence, machine learning, speech recognition, robotic process automation, natural language processing and more. Augmenting human activity and automating the world’s workflows, the company has offices in New York, Silicon Valley, Buenos Aires, London, and Bozeman.
