| The generative AI platform that's revolutionising business growth, with Noam Fine | 16 Jan 2025 | 01:00:12 | |
This episode features Noam Fine, co-founder and CEO of Hear.ai. Noam is a serial entrepreneur with multiple exits, having most recently founded Over.ai, which was acquired by Vonage in 2019. In this conversation, we delve into the transformative potential of generative AI in the contact center. Not for automating conversations with customers, but for turning these conversations into insights. Insights that can lead to tremendous improvements in customer experience, and business growth. We explore how generative AI can enable new mindsets and move beyond incremental improvements, fundamentally reshaping the way organisations approach customer service and support. At the heart of the conversation is the concept of the "Customer Value Exchange" (CVX) - the idea of turning contact centers from traditional cost centers into strategic value centers that can provide invaluable insights to drive business growth. We discuss the details behind the hear.ai platform and how it leverages a unique blend of small and large language models, as well as fine-tuned models, to achieve reliability and cost-efficiency in analysing customer interactions. This episode offers a glimpse into the transformative power of generative AI in the contact center industry, showcasing how innovative solutions like the Here AI platform can redefine the customer experience landscape and drive tangible business impact.

| Streamlining audio production with AI, with Timo Kunz, CEO, Aflorithmic | 01 Jun 2022 | 00:55:25 | |
Aflorithmic is on a mission to help you create high quality audio at a fraction of the time and cost. One of the most intense parts about creating audio for video, radio, smart speakers or, indeed, voice assistants and voice user interfaces, is that you need to learn what you’re doing. You need to learn your way around a DAW, understand compression, EQ, reverb, ducking and a whole load of other audio engineering practices. All of this makes high quality audio difficult to produce and reserved for those skilled enough. Aflorithmic is on a mission to change that. And to share how audio production can be made more streamlined, and how that can fit into a designer’s workflow, we’re joined by Aflorithmic CEO, Timo Kunz. **Presented by Deepgram** Deepgram is a Speech Company whose goal is to have every voice heard and understood. We have revolutionized speech-to-text (STT) with an End-to-End Deep Learning platform.

| Quality assurance for conversational AI systems with Christoph Börner, CEO, Botium | 26 May 2022 | 01:00:50 | |
One thing is for sure; conversational AI systems are a challenge to test and maintain. Yet, without robust testing, there's no way of guaranteeing quality. And high quality interactions are all that matter. Without assuring the quality of your assistant, it won't achieve the results you hope it will, rendering your whole strategy pointless. To share the importance of quality assurance, and to walk you through the core steps and activities in your QA pipeline, we're joined by Christoph Börner, CEO, Botium. **Presented by Deepgram** Deepgram is a Speech Company whose goal is to have every voice heard and understood.

| The need for AI privacy, with Patricia Thaine, CEO, Private AI | 19 May 2022 | 00:46:56 | |
Just how much of your data is being processed by AI systems? And to what end? Most of us don't have a clue what's happening to the data we share with businesses on a day to day basis. We don't even know what data is being captured in the first place. Throw AI assistants into the mix and we're even more lost than we were. With algorithms making decisions and AI assistants mediating our interactions, understanding what data is being captured, how it's stored and used is crucial if we're ever going to fully trust AI services and the companies that run them. Yet most companies are way behind here. Most have big blind spots. Joining us to shed light on this and reveal these blind spots is Patricia Thaine, CEO, Private AI. **Presented by Deepgram** Deepgram is a Speech Company whose goal is to have every voice heard and understood.

| Call centre authentication with Matt Smallman, Founder, SymNex Consulting | 31 Mar 2022 | 01:05:33 | |
Voice AI has come a long way in the last few years. Why, then, do we still get asked to provide secret passwords, shoe size and your mother’s pet fish’s maiden name before anyone at any company will speak to you about your needs? The scope and quality of AI-mediated interactions that are now possible is incredible, but there remain fundamental security challenges that are difficult to overcome. For many interactions, we need to know who the user is claiming to be and be confident that they are that person. Most of these challenges keep companies stuck asking silly quiz questions to validate who you are, instead of using technology to make it easier. Matt Smallman's new book Unlock Your Call Centre: A proven way to upgrade security, efficiency and caller experience covers these challenges in forensic detail and lays out an approach to resolving them using modern technologies such as Voice Biometrics and Network Authentication that is as applicable to Voice User Interfaces as it is to the Call Centre. Matt's book is launched today and he will be joining me live (5pm BST, 12pm EDT, 9am PDT) on the VUX World podcast to discuss the book and it's implications for Voice AI.

By now, you know that implementing a conversational AI strategy isn't child's play. It's pretty hard work.

| Bringing conversational commerce to life with Brian Podolak, CEO, Vocodia | 16 Mar 2022 | 01:01:12 | |
Conversational commerce is a topic that is never far away from the headlines, but the practical application in the real world seems to be lagging behind the expectations of the conversational AI industry and technology analysts. Although purchases through voice assistant platforms like Amazon Alexa and Google assistant are increasing marginally year-on-year, we're not seeing the kind of explosion that we might have expected back in 2017. How about if you were to deploy an AI agent in the CallCenter to make outbound sales calls or receive inbound sales calls? How effective would that be? Adoption is backed into the channel, expectations are already understood and saw the potential is seemingly endless. We are joined by Brian Pollock Pollock CEO of a new start-up, vocoder, which is seeking to revolutionise sales in the CallCenter. We will speak to Brian about use cases, the trends he is seeing in the conversational commerce space, and how organisations can utilise and benefit from AI managed sales. **Presented by Deepgram and Symbl.ai** Deepgram is a Speech Company whose goal is to have every voice heard and understood.
