Chat Interface - Your Gateway to AI-Powered Work#

The LIT Server chat interface is designed to replace traditional business applications with intelligent conversations. Employees simply navigate to their company's LIT Server and access all the functionality they need through a familiar chat experience.

The Business Vision#

Transform complex software interactions into simple conversations. Instead of learning multiple applications, navigating complex interfaces, or following lengthy procedures, employees describe what they need in natural language and get immediate results.
