Narrow AI aka Virtual Agents: Learnings from the Frontlines of an Engagement Paradigm Shift – NLP Platforms & Leveraging Legacy Systems in the Enterprise
Narrow Artificially Intelligent Virtual Agents are being deployed all around us. We’ve all used these amazing tools in our everyday life; from Apple’s Siri, Google Assistant, Amazon’s Alexa and Microsoft’s Cortana, they are everywhere we go. These Virtual Agents interact with the 7 billion people on planet Earth in their own language and put the burden of UX learning on the system, not the user. Enterprise businesses cannot sit back and assume that the big tech titans will be speaking on their behalf through their consumer offerings. We will explore real live case studies and methodologies for deploying these Virtual Agents with your enterprise brand’s unique perspective and understanding of your clients and employees needs and relationship with you. This is not academic, this is now.
