The introduction of Emma is aimed to help you get your answers quickly - without having to navigate through the help pages or wait to chat with a customer service agent.
How does Emma work?
Emma provides an experience similar to live chat where you ask questions and she responds.

At the beginning of the pilot, Emmas going to be learning the words and phrases that members use in asking questions - so if she cant answer your question initially, dont give up on her, shell continue to learn and know more the next time you use her.
