what is a VIRTUAL ASSISTANT?
A Virtual Assistant is an AI conversational agent designed to process human inputs to deliver services or actions.
A Virtual Assistant is programmed to work independently from a human operator. It extracts data/parameters from the conversation and uses them to execute requested services.
Requested services could be diverse as you can imagine, from information distribution (FAQ) to information acquisition (e.g. to issue insurance) or from customer support to data-based predictions for executives.
"Advanced Virtual Assistants target a multitude of jobs and functions, propelling the expansion of AI conversational agents into every sphere of consumer lives, business interactions, and operations. - "Gartner Emerging technologies 2021"

ADVANCED AI VIRTUAL ASSISTANT
One of the best uses of Virtual Assistants is providing website visitors support and steering them toward what they’re looking for.
The average users only visit 1.7 pages on a website before leaving! If your website is like most, hosting hundreds or thousands of pages, the majority of visitors leave without finding the service or information they need.
European cities are using Virtual Assistants. During the Covid pandemic, the interaction with citizens turned completely digital. Virtual Assistants can give visitors a precise answer to a precise question, and they can handle thousands of conversations simultaneously, 24x7.
HR departments are using Virtual Assistants. Employees' queries are converted into back office queries and answers sent back to the chatbot. Employees can check their schedules, schedule time off, and inform managers about their unplanned leave or sick days.
