Aalok Y Shukla, the company’s CEO with a deep background in AI and health technology, Implement AI aims to democratize access to advanced AI solutions. Their mission specifically targets small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to help them integrate AI technologies in the form of digital workers. These AI workers offer a unique 24/7/365 solution that can operate alongside human employees to drive growth and efficiency.
