Users will be able to interact with the chatbot to retrieve the information they need quickly and easily. Additionally, the chatbot remains a patient and polite customer service representative "with all the answers." The stage-II beta testing period of the Company's proprietary internet search engine will commence in the next few weeks to a select group. PortalZone.com is an internet portal company whose main source of business includes a proprietary search engine designed primarily for the web but which will also extend to hand held devices like cell phones, palm pilots and personal organizers.
