Jay Rice, CAM, emails, “I formed Thinking Chat from the intellectual property I spun out of Rice Camera Technologies, which I sold in 2015. My new firm helps generate and qualify sales leads by adding an automated agent, based on artificial intelligence, to a website. It looks like live chat, but no human is involved until a lead is captured and qualified. We’re expanding and plan to seek angel investment. Akshay Kolte, MBA’09, is a key part of the technical team.”
