    Training AI-driven Support Bots to Deliver the Next Generation of Customer Experience

    Recorded - available as on demand webcast

    A good digital experience is about facilitating information flows between the organization and its customers. Whether answering questions on community bulletin boards, self service through FAQ’s, email communications, interactions with call center agents or text exchanges with bots, the objective is to give customers the information they need to use a product, make a selection, solve a problem and achieve their overall goal.

    At the heart of this is knowledge in various formats. In the AI world, it is referred to as “training content” – the knowledge assets that support customers directly or indirectly. Whether training a support engineer or training an AI driven virtual assistant, harvesting and reusing these assets is key. However in most large organizations training platforms, knowledge bases and support applications have evolved organically with different architectures, changing ownership, fragmented taxonomies and disparate approaches. Some believe that AI and machine learning will solve this problem but while these technologies are promising, not every support application and knowledge source is amenable to a fully automated approach. Even when that is possible, certain elements have to be in place.

    In this edition of the Earley Executive Roundtable, our panel of experts will tackle such questions as: 

    • What does the changing technology landscape mean to support organizations, call centers, and customer service functions?
    • Can knowledge be captured and structured for reuse in a sustainable, economically viable way?
    • How can the customer be supported throughout their journey by knowledge that originates in different parts of the organization?
    • How do processes need to evolve to provide an end to end seamless, positive experience?

    [RECORDED] Product Data: Insights for Success - How AI is Automating Product Data Programs

    Artificial Intelligence is changing the way businesses interact with their customers. From hyper-personalized experiences to chatbots built on Large Language Models, AI is driving new investment in digital experiences. That same AI and LLM can also be used to automate your product data program. From data onboarding and validation to generating descriptions and validating images, AI can help generate content faster and at a higher quality level to improve product findability, search, and conversion rates. In our second webinar in the Product Data Mastery series, we’re speaking with Madhu Konety from IceCream Labs to show exactly how AI and product data can work together for your business.

    The Critical Role of Content Architecture in Generative AI

    What is Generative AI? Generative AI has caught fire in the industry – almost every tech vendor has a ChatGPT-like offering (or claims to have one). They are claiming to use the same technology – a large language model (LLM) (actually there are many Large Language Models both open source and proprietary fine-tuned for various industries and purposes) to access and organize content knowledge of the enterprise. As with previous new technologies, LLMs are getting hyped. But what is generative AI?
