Dasha AI joined an SAP accelerator program

On February 13–14 Dasha took part in the final selection for an SAP accelerator program. The pitching sessions were supervised by leading SAP experts. 30 participants were shortlisted for the final, and Dasha made it to the winners’ circle, along with 9 other teams.

The teams presented a variety of projects, including IT, telecommunications, logistics, trade and HR solutions. Dasha, a conversational AI that handles call automation and sounds exactly like a human, sparked the experts’ interest, and Dasha received one of the highest grades.

Joining the program will provide us with the opportunity to accelerate our company’s forward progress with the help of coaches and consultants, get additional technical support to upgrade our technology, and improve our business model to promote Dasha internationally. In addition, together with SAP, we will be working on the Go-To-Market strategy. We are going to have regular meetings, master classes, lectures on intellectual property and sales. Moreover, we will join the SAP App Center global marketplace and go through testing and certification. Through this cooperation, our companies will integrate Dasha with SAP solutions and launch a joint product.

But there is still more to come. 70% of our team are engineers, and 21 of them are ACM ICPC contestants. For us, the promise of passing the full Turing test with voice is no longer a promise — it is a specific goal that we have scheduled to achieve by 2024.
