New Orleans tech companies are offering their innovative software for free for the duration of the COVID-19 crisis so businesses of all sizes can stop the spread of misinformation and focus on stopping the spread of the virus.

    In just its first week, more than 100 companies across the country, including worldwide brands, signed up for rasa.io’s free offer for AI-driven Smart Newsletters.
