VUX World

Chandra Khatri is the Head of AI at emerging startup, Got It AI, and joins us to share the future of NLU systems and how transformer-based models (explained in detail for the layperson) are heralding a new line of capabilities and making a new kind of customer experience possible.

Chandra used to work on the Alexa team and was the founding brain behind the Alexa Prize which, to date, has been responsible for some of the most innovative work on multi-turn conversational AI development. Many of the outputs of the Alexa Prize have made it into the core Alexa product, such as Alexa Conversations.

Chandra then worked as one of the founding members of the Uber conversational AI team before heading up the AI division at Got It AI.

Audio is chronically difficult to find. Invisible and not indexed in the usual places people search for information, such as online and in emerging contexts such as voice assistants. Yet, there's so much audio being produced and so much rich and dense information contained within it.

Think about this podcast. In this conversation with Audioburst CEO, Gal Klein, we discuss a whole manner of different challenges when it comes to discovering audio content, both bite-sized summaries and long form information. Yet, you'll need to listen to the whole thing in order to benefit from it. And how did you find it? In a podcast player probably.

But why can't you just ask Google what the main challenge with audio discoverability is, then dip straight into the specific part of this podcast where Gal explains it?

The answer? Audio is notoriously difficult to understand and summarise. Yet, that is what Audioburst does.

In this conversation, we discuss some of the core challenges with audio discoverability, the value of both short and long form audio and how Audioburst helps creators and businesses make their audio more discoverable.

I rocked the boat a little over the last few weeks, making some statements about the future of conversation design. How technology will improve and intent-less NLU and other technology will change the role of a conversation designer. How the way we think about conversations isn’t always conducive to producing great customer experiences.

One company that is pushing the boundaries of conversation design is OpenDialog. It’s unique approach of an intent-last mindset is nothing like I’ve seen before.

Ronald Ashri has been instrumental in leading the OpenDialog team and approach. He joins us this week to share more on the OpenDialog conversation design philosophy, the tooling and his thoughts on the future of conversation design.

When Google comes across a voice AI automation problem that it can't solve, and needs to bring in another company to help solve it, you can assume that the company they use know a thing or two about voice AI. You can also assume that company has some compelling technology at its disposal. 

Meet Sovran AI CRO, Clive Elleforde. Clive has decades of experience in business, technology and startup growth and is leading the growth charge at UK-based voice AI tech company, Sovran AI.

Sovran AI has been reaching over 90% automation rates when automating conversations in contact centres with the likes of Sky. Compared to the average level of 11% automation reported by McKinsey, that's pretty impressive.

Clive joins us to share more about what Sovran AI does, how it approaches voice AI automation, and some of the secret sauce that enables Sovran AI to achieve such high levels of accuracy, and so quickly (some Sovran AI projects have gone live in weeks).
