Our take

Emotech develops AI software for a range of enterprise purposes by leveraging multimodality and speech technology. The company has been around since 2014, but in 2019 it decided to turn its primary focus to Core Speech Technologies, which can be used for things like teaching assistance, language translation and AI avatars for customer service.

Emotech burst onto the AI scene when it introduced its flagship product, an AI personal assistant named Olly. Unlike Alexa, Siri, and others, Olly generated excitement for being able to change its own personality depending on that of its owner.

Emotech is now headed in a B2B direction. This looks like a shrewd move as there’s been a groundswell of activity for AI in the enterprise world, where it’s being used for customer service, HR, translation, as well as in the education space.
