What does it take to build a multi-purpose AI assistant from scratch—and get it working inside actual businesses? In this episode, Mat Giordano and Justin Ballen share the story behind AIDEN, a telecom-grade AI assistant they built for businesses and Managed Service Providers (MSPs). AIDEN isn’t a concept.
