Next IT, a provider of Human Emulation Software, has signed an agreement with Continental Airlines to implement its ActiveAgent software on its website.

By implementing Next IT’s human emulation software, ActiveAgent, Continental plans to provide services to its customers on the web through the use of a virtual expert. The Continental Virtual Expert will be available 24x7x365 and will interact with customers to interpret their requests and provide answers to all travel needs, said Next IT.
