The VirtuOz Virtual Agents are designed to help companies with their service or sales needs. These intelligent and engaging SaaS computer programs interact with users, interpret their input and programmatically guide them towards resolution of their specific issues. The path users take will be based on the answers they give and the specific business logic programmed by H&R Block. The agents will gather information from users, and based on their input, can clarify what customers want, ask for additional data, suggest a solution, or pass them on to a live H&R Block customer service representative, if necessary.

"H&R Block is a company that is committed to a superior user experience for its customers," stated Co-Founder and CEO, Alexandre Lebrun. "Their decision to engage customers with intelligent automated chat will not only help resolve user issues faster, but it will also help reduce the number of questions being submitted to H&R Block customer support."
