Amelia edit

Amelia is an AI-based digital assistant. The underlying technology is text-based, with text-to-speech capability.[6] The avatar is based on Lauren Hayes, a professional model.[7]

Amelia was first released in 2014.[8][9] Version 3.0 was released on June 1, 2017. By 2018, Amelia had been deployed in some capacity for customer care by about 25 companies, including SEB Group,[10] and Accenture.[11][12]

Amelia HyperAutomation Platform edit

Released in 2017, Amelia HyperAutomation Platform (formerly 1Desk)[13] is an enterprise-scale autonomic framework that integrates IT operations and shared services. The platform integrates with Amelia to access the autonomic framework via a conversational interface.[14]

Amelia HyperAutomation Platform features an integration framework to connect with any existing platform with an open API. Its proprietary Machine Learning functionality (internally dubbed "IPconnect") recommends new automations based on observed behaviors of human workers.

IPcenter edit

IPcenter, a predecessor of the Amelia HyperAutomation Platform, was an autonomic IT management platform that automated monitoring and remediation of network services. It was first released in 1999. IPcenter contains a library of more than 20,000 automations routines for network management, which are branded as "virtual engineers".[citation needed]
