Can you imagine working as a hotel GM, being exhausted after working a 16-hour shift and then getting a call from a customer asking to translate to the waiter “to not put onions on the pizza”?
Sounds horrific right? Well Elitza Stoilova, founder of ai chatbot startup Umni, felt the same way.
After watching a YouTube video on chatbots, Elitza, with no technology background, began a journey of improving business operations for 40+ companies in the Bulgarian market. By developing and providing conversational ai chatbot software, she’s on a mission to save 1000s of hours for clients and businesses.
In this chat we learn how she got a job in the Pacific American islands, getting burned out from working 14-hour days, her love for zumba, and of course, creating an ai chatbot startup.
Show highlights:
1:00 – tell me about love at first site (with chatbot)
3:40 – chatbot paralegals
4:40 – how did you get to the Pacific American islands?
7:15 – you speak Bulgarian and Russian, you’re hired
8:30 – working as an animator at a hotel
10:15 – I lived 3 months without water and power
11:38 – getting burned out working 14 hour days
14:15 – did you have to bootstrap to get your company off the ground?
18:10 – what obstacles did you have to overcome?
19:35 – what do customers enjoy about Umni?
20:25 – what does implementation look like?
21:50 – her dream is to display her chatbot physically inside her store
22:55 – a favorite hobby that you enjoy?
