What Zilo AI does
Zilo AI (Zilo Services) is a Bangalore-based company combining IT staffing with AI data services. It reports more than 1,600 trained annotation and speech-recognition experts and over 10 million data points annotated across retail, banking/financial services and healthcare, in roughly 26 languages.
