Episode notes

In 2013, I saw that more and more people were trying to build natural conversational interfaces. And they needed this kind of interface, but it's very hard to build that if you're not an expert. So we asked them to do with that AI as a very simple way. It's an API that takes natural language and input and returns like structured data on what the input is about. Then developers can build whatever, any voice activity app or any bots can be built easily with the AI.

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.
