OLD GREENWICH, Conn., Feb. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Speakeasy AI, the world’s first provider of artificial intelligence via Speech-to-Intent™, announced its company launch today, including its confirmed angel investment round led by Richard Simons. Simons, the former founder of Creative Virtual USA, is founding and backing his second venture in the artificial intelligence space, and is excited to enable Speakeasy AI to fill a clearly identified gap in this high velocity market. “For too long, voice automation solutions and digital artificial intelligence have existed in silos, unable to deliver upon their conversational promise and potential. I am incredibly excited to back Speakeasy AI whose mission is to deliver AI understanding in voice channels like never before.”

Simons’ angel investment is being done with a proven team from his prior venture at Creative Virtual USA across several disciplines. This team was instrumental in helping Simons grow Creative Virtual USA to over 40 employees and deliver more Fortune 500 virtual assistant deployments than any other competitor in the United States. Speakeasy AI launches its website today and will be announcing its executive team in a subsequent release.
