Creative Virtual Ltd has announced that a new V-Person™ (virtual assistant) solution was launched for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) back in 2011. A V-Person is capable of holding conversations with digital users in real time, 24/7. For users it means the sensation of communicating with a ‘real’ person able not only to answer their questions, but also to understand the context of those questions and even hold entire conversations.
Ask Annie, the RSPCA’s new online virtual assistant, has been available on the RSPCA website since June 2011 and is helping users find a variety of information and advice on topics such as general pet care, animal rehoming and animal welfare law. Annie provides a list of local vets, police and fire and rescue services based on the user’s postcode. Implementing a V-Person on their website has helped the RSPCA further their mission to “prevent cruelty, promote kindness to and alleviate suffering of all animals” by giving website visitors a quick and easy way to find answers to their questions on all main species of domestic and wild animals without having to make a phone call.
