Indian IT multinational firm Tech Mahindra has announced a global strategic partnership with californi-based Avaamo, a leader in conversational artificial intelligence (AI) founded by Indian-origin entrepreneurs. The partnership between the two include developing and delivering conversational AI solutions for global enterprises.

Conversational AI is essentially an evolved version of chatbots and aim to conduct human-like interactions with humans. The AI uses natural language processing (NLP) to understand how a normal person will communicate, instead of trying to serve a pre-defined set of options, which is in case of chatbots.
