History
Established in February 2016 by Dr. Ahmed Bouzid, who previously led product development at Amazon Alexa and served as VP of Product at Angel.com, Witlingo rapidly became a frontrunner in voice technology innovation. The company secured preferred partner status with Google Assistant by December 2016 and with Amazon Alexa by February 2017.
In May 2017, Witlingo was among the pioneers to deploy a branded voice presence simultaneously on Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Microsoft Cortana in collaboration with The Motley Fool. By July of the same year, it launched a service that allowed businesses to add voice capabilities to their Facebook pages. The following month, Witlingo unveiled its Voice First Portal supporting all three major voice platforms.
The company broadened its offerings by introducing Castlingo—a microcasting platform—in December 2018, followed by Witlingo Communities in 2019. Presently, Witlingo concentrates on serving senior living communities by facilitating seamless communication between staff, residents, and caregivers through its technology.
Most recently, Witlingo launched Whitney, a personalized voice assistant aimed at alleviating social isolation among seniors residing in care facilities.
