SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Vaibhav, welcome to the show. Tell everyone a little about yourself and what got you started in the AI space?
Topic 2 - We’ve done a number of AI/ML shows over the years, but we haven’t talked much about Natural Language Understanding or NLU. Let’s start there, can you give everyone an introduction?
Topic 3 - Based on that, is the primary interaction with the end user through a chatbot or something similar? What are the primary use cases and tools you are seeing in the industry? Is this a Slack and/or Microsoft Teams integration? Unsolicited plug, I’m a customer in my day job…
Topic 4 - We’ve been talking a lot on the show recently about the migration to SaaS based products. What is the model here? Is the AI central (cloud hosted) or private and in-house? Do you have the concept of a template AI and then each customer AI is an instance or is this a central AI that is called? How does it get customized and updated over time? What training is typically required and is this training on-going?
Topic 5 - How do you prevent user frustration from “loops” or unanswered questions? I think of the voice automated telephone systems I’m not a fan of as an example. How would you handle language that isn’t built into the AI?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
