CEO and Founder

Huswell

"We are living in a world where ‘instant’ is becoming the norm. If a year or two ago the main trend we were seeing was the need for ‘self-service’, now we are noting that end users - or in our case, guests - are no longer interested in having to search for what they need, they now expect immediacy. DuveAI is helping achieve those guest expectations in customer service by allowing us to immediately attend to their needs, especially when those needs are urgent."
