The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) has been fielding anywhere from 60,000 to 1 million calls a day as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To accommodate this volume, the TWC launched a new automated virtual assistant to help claimants apply for benefits. This virtual assistant is named Larry and can instantly answer many of the most common questions about the unemployment process. Larry is expected to greatly relieve the pressure on the TWC website and call centers.
