Newo Inc., a company based in Silicon Valley, California, is the creator of the Newo.ai Human-like AI Employee Builder.

Newo.ai is a cloud software platform that enables agencies to create AI Agents capable of answering phone calls, sms, chats, messengers, making bookings, and managing reservations.

What sets this system apart:
is its ability to automatically generate an AI agent in just 3 minutes by pulling information directly from the business's Google Maps listing and website:
https://newo.ai/

Newo.ai's AI agents support virtually any communication channels:
used in business operations, including phone, SMS, email, web chat, calendars, Slack, Instagram, and more. They can even simulate keyboard and mouse actions, which is why they are referred to as AI Employees.

Integrations and easy customizations:
Newo AI agents are integrated with most CRMs and PMS systems and feature one of the most advanced builders in the industry for professional AI automation experts.

The problem Newo.ai solves is missed calls:
local businesses lose between 15% and 40% of incoming calls during off-hours, weekends, or when staff are busy with customers. Call centers lose between 9% and 16% of calls due to long wait times during peak hours.

With Newo's AI agents, which operate 24/7 and can handle unlimited simultaneous calls, businesses can achieve up to a 20% increase in additional revenue—equating to $350,000 or more per year per location.

The platform is tailored for:
small and medium-sized businesses, single-location and multi-location operations, franchisees, and call centers across industries such as restaurants, dental practices, orthodontics, cleaning services, HVAC, and more.
