Today, I'm joined by Matt Gershoff, Co-founder and CEO of Conductrics, a software company specializing in A/B testing, multi-armed bandit techniques, and customer research and survey software. With a strong background in resource economics and artificial intelligence, Matt brings a unique perspective to the conversation, emphasizing simplicity and intentionality in decision-making and data collection.
In this episode, Matt dives into Conductrics' background, the role of A/B testing and experimentation in privacy, data collection at a specific and granular level, and the details of Conductrics' processes.
