“We are excited to officially debut elfoBOT at MWC Barcelona 2021,” said Head of elfo, Sri Yosephin. “As one of the few Kuala Lumpur-headquartered companies that have attended and exhibited at the  largest mobile event of the world for the past three years, we’ve seen the growing need for the  majority of businesses to attend to their surging customers’ requests and queries.” 

elfo’s growth hacking tools, as well as advertising and campaign management platforms, will take  center stage at the event to help businesses across different industries grow their digital reach,  target hyper-specific audiences in real time, and automate personalized customer engagement.

Some of the key features of elfoBOT include: 

• Compatible with more than 14 popular channels such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger,  Telegram, Twitter, etc. 

• Natural language processing (NLP) with a predefined natural language understanding (NLU)  engine to respond accurately to requests and queries.
