Chatbot Startup Umni has already saved over 15,000 work hours for Clients
Can you imagine working as a hotel GM, being exhausted after working a 16-hour shift and then getting a call from a customer asking to translate to the waiter “to not put onions on the pizza”?
Sounds horrific right? Well Elitza Stoilova, founder of ai chatbot startup Umni, felt the same way.
After watching a YouTube video on chatbots, Elitza, with no technology background, began a journey of improving business operations for 40+ companies in the Bulgarian market. By developing and providing conversational ai chatbot software, she’s on a mission to save 1000s of hours for clients and businesses.
In this chat we learn how she got a job in the Pacific American islands, getting burned out from working 14-hour days, her love for zumba, and of course, creating an ai chatbot startup.
