Adato's initial attempt to develop an AI chatbot was unsuccessful, leading them to rethink their approach to AI implementation.
Adato found that AI could be most useful in making their software more intuitive for users, a concept they termed 'artificial intuition'.
Adato developed the 'E-Links AI board', a tool that allows users to ask questions and receive answers in the form of widgets, making project management more efficient and user-friendly.
