This partnership is expected to propel CXApp’s technological capabilities and broaden its market reach.
CXApp’s CEO, Khurram Sheikh, expressed optimism about the future, stating:
“We are super-excited about this partnership as it provides us access to all the latest Google AI innovations that we plan on adapting to revolutionize the workplace market with amazing employee experiences.”
