Sandra Haimila, Editor at KMWorld, said, "Each year KMWorld looks for software products that break new territory in helping organizations achieve their knowledge management goals. These products are designed, developed and perfectly timed to fill a niche in the marketplace before users are even aware that such functionality and flexibility have been missing." eGain Virtual Assistant is a trend-setter because of its "usefulness, scalability and level of innovation," according to Haimila.

Besides answering questions, it can push relevant web pages and take customers on website tours. In addition, it supports text-to-text, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and speech-to-speech communication modes, and is embeddable in apps and social networks.

"VAs are the preferred concierge for the digital consumer -- smart, prompt and discreet," said Ashu Roy, eGain CEO. "As the AI pioneer in customer engagement, we are delighted to receive this award."
