Providing Tools for the Masses to Build Conversational AI | Alex Weidauer, Rasa

he real goal of Conversational AI is not to make users believe they are speaking with a human.  The real goal is to enable robots to solve issues faster and more effectively, using conversation.  Chatbot technology was among the first AI use cases that received early hype.  Many early attempts to build failed due to an inability to truly solve issues or due to poor user experience.  As the hype has died down, companies are matching the demand and usefulness of Conversational AI with a more educated approach to deploying robots that can communicate.  Behind this push for innovation sits Rasa, a high growth startup providing tools for companies and developers to build and deploy Conversational AI

In this episode, I sit with Alex Weidauer, Co-Founder and CEO of Rasa.  We discuss topics such as the many pivots his company made to arrive at an AI solution, how Rasa enable developers to build better assistants, how people prefer to communicate with robots, the best approach to training robots on conversation data, and much much more.
