Episode notes

I was ahead of engineering at fair. And so I'm not a scientist or PhD myself. Actually, I was maybe the only one without a PhD in this team for the first time. So it's very interesting position because I was involved in many different projects. One of the projects I worked on directly, for instance, was called Tamago Bot. It's an early version of an LLM. Yeah. For a long way, you know, we can say, and so the, I think it was one of the first chat, but that was not driven by rules,. You know, rule based decision tree kind of that is not the pre like learning.

Today, we’re excited to get to know Alexandre Lebrun, CEO and Cofounder of Nabla, a personalized AI assistant for doctors. Before founding Nabla, Alex was the Head of Engineering at Facebook AI research for almost four years, and is a seasoned entrepreneur, having sold his previous companies Wit.ai, an AI platform that makes it easy to build apps that understand natural human language, to Facebook in 2015 and VirtuOz, a customer service chatbot, to Nuance Communications in 2012.

In this episode, Alexandre shares his experiences after 22 years and founding 3 startups, why proprietary data is more important than ever for defensibility, tactics on GTM and customer focus specific to healthcare buyers, and opportunities and safety for generative AI in healthcare.
