Conversational Interaction Conference
12-13 APRIL 2022
San Jose, California
The personal edge of Artificial Intelligence: Natural Language Processing and Speech Recognition leverage computer power to make using computer applications as intuitive as talking to or texting a person.
The core technologies that allow talking and texting with computers using human language have matured to the point that their use is increasing exponentially. Large companies are investing in making this new “Conversational User Interface” a major supplement or competitor to the ubiquitous Graphical User Interface (as more complex applications and the smaller screens of smartphones make it increasingly frustrating to use). Applications include controlling apps, web search, customer service, technical support, control of connected hardware, and more. “Just say or type what you want” is becoming a major alternative to searching menus and long sequences of clicking.
The Conversational Interaction Conference is a resource to help companies be an effective part of this trend. Rana Gujral, CEO at Behavioral Signals, will be talking there about how AI is getting more emotional, and how we can use voice and behavioral matching AI to serve customers better.
Voice Tech Summit India
24-25 MARCH 2022
Sheraton Grand, Bangalore
The 2nd Edition of Voice Tech Summit India is now a “Live ” and In-person two days conference and exhibition designed to host 3000+ industry executives In charge of the contact center and customer experience and are early adopters of speech or voice technology.
Rana Gujral, CEO at Behavioral Signals will be speaking at the event on the topic: Using voice and behavioral matching AI to serve customers better.
AI is disrupting customer service daily, and 2022 is bringing in more exciting use cases. It brings empathy in thousands of conversations conducted over the phone. AI and voice (EmotionAI) can change how companies converse with customers and achieve a more personalized approach that can fit each customer’s needs and personality.
Whatever the communication objective, there is always a catalyst that would allow both sides of a conversation to reach the desired result. That contributing factor is usually a simple and naturally occurring human process: the affinity or rapport developed between people. Regardless of the type of business communication (sales call, support, subscription renewal, collection), it will always be an interaction between real humans, where rarely is the affinity identical between two pairs of people. We have specific behaviors and traits that help us get along with some people better than with others.
By matching the right people (with EmotionAI) to have this conversation, we are prioritizing human understanding and empathy. We focus on humans’ natural communication skills and seamlessly improve each conversation and outcome.
Our uniqueness is in the fact that we ‘listen’ to HOW something is being said and not WHAT is being said. That allows us to focus on behavioral signals in the tone of voice. We do not use personally identifiable data, respecting caller privacy, and our approach is closed-loop, continuously learning from each call.
