Automate intake, hiring, triage, and support—24/7, multilingual, no staff required.
Co-Founder & CEO
AI chat agents are intelligent assistants that automate essential workflows in post-acute care, from intake and triage to hiring and lead capture. Unlike basic bots, they mimic human conversation, respond 24/7, and integrate directly with your systems to streamline operations. Alita’s chat agents, for example, support 114+ languages, offer real-time scheduling, and operate without engineering lift.
