Ema Founder: Gen AI to generate more jobs and wealth

Founder Surojit Chatterjee asserts that Ema, dubbed the ‘Universal AI employee,’ possesses the versatility to seamlessly transition between roles, from data scientist and customer service representative to specialized positions like pharmacist’s assistant, showcasing reliability and competence, ultimately becoming an organization’s top performer.

Chatterjee, who previously spearheaded Google Ads evolution, teamed up with Souvik Sen, builder of Okta’s and Google’s largest ML systems, for the San Francisco-based AI startup. The company is Ema and so is the product designed to match the capabilities of a human.

“Our goal at Ema is to help automate most of the repetitive and tedious tasks that human employees perform today and free them up to do more valuable work in the enterprise,” Chatterjee told PTI.

Ema, which can act as a conversational agent, as a chatbot and as a workflow automation tool all in one, has already been hired for multiple roles by many enterprises, he added. These include Envoy Global, TrueLayer, Moneyview, and Exclusive Networks.

The buzzing AI startup, which boasts of an impressive line-up of investors such as Accel, Sec 32 and Prosus Ventures, has also caught the fancy of industry heavyweights and high-profile names with Sheryl Sandberg, Dustin Moskovitz, Jerry Yang and others backing it.
