BEST MOMENTS
“We want to delight the customers. And we experimented with a couple of different kinds of work. We found our stride in what I would call speech detect services.”
“Your tool was one of the first AI tools that I ever used before AI was even sexy.”
“We think LLMs are just this tremendous breakthrough that’s creating more productivity for people every single day.”
“If you ask everyone in the company to come up with their prompts, it’s going to be a mess. What would make more sense is to define one template.”
“If you don’t educate people on how to use it for their job-specific function, you’re not going to realize an ROI with what you’re doing.”
