The future of conversational AI (Part 1)

PolyAI’s Senior Vice President of Marketing, Michelle Schroeder, CEO and Co-founder Nikol Mrkšić, and Chief Operating Officer Yan Zhang discuss the changing landscape of conversational AI, the impact of generative AI, control, and expectations, and the potential for brands to sculpt their voice assistants to enhance customer experiences.

Conversational AI is changing rapidly, with generative AI driving significant advancements and altering the way these technologies are developed and integrated into enterprises.

Rapid advancements make it hard for buyers to understand and optimize their investments in conversational AI, leading to confusion and a need for clearer guidelines.

As AI becomes more advanced, companies must balance using new generative capabilities with maintaining control to ensure reliable and brand-consistent interactions.

"It's really hard for a buyer these days to understand what it is they're buying, what they're optimizing. I think it's really important to look at the incentives of the different parties they're working with and the different products that they're selling them if you're both a builder or a more traditional business side buyer."

"I think that what enterprises will come to realize is that the conversational agents, automated conversational agents, doesn't matter whether it's in the chat channel or the voice channel, are going to be a significant feature of those enterprises' brands."
