In this episode of Building With AI, host Hamza Choudery is hosting Akilesh, the CEO and founder of DeepScribe - a health tech company that uses LLMs and NLP to augment clinical documentation.
Akilesh grew up watching his dad, an oncologist, slog over tedious documentation tasks. Inspired by his father and their shared vision of a Jarvis-like assistant for doctors, he dove into the intersection of healthcare and AI.
During the conversation, they discuss:
- His experience training custom NLP,
- How DeepScribe responded to the “ChatGPT moment,”
- The importance of AI evaluation and testing,
- The future of DeepScribe and Ambient AI,
- And much more!
