🤯 Call centers ditch humans for AI

As if call centers could get any more soulless.

AIs are now listening in live to conversations in call centers.

This isn't simple stuff like routing calls and scheduling appointments.

This is a step towards complete and total automation.

Imagine, as a call center employee, trying to answer someone’s question. At the same time, you're hearing an AI tell you what you should actually say. 

What’s more is that the company penalizes the agents if they ignore the AI. Even if they disagree with its advice.

This is the classic win for management and loss for employees. 

It won't stop here, of course; we're seeing the end of human-operated call centers as we know it.

Corporations are too hungry for margin to not dive into this.

🤔 Another challenger to Bing and Google search

I've been craving another search engine lately. Feels like we don't have enough, you know?

You.com to the rescue!

You.com is an AI search engine meant to challenge Microsoft and Google. It's helmed by an accomplished former chief scientist at Salesforce.

So clearly they’re well versed in products that haven't changed for decades.

The search engine, built from the ground up on AI, includes a massive emphasis on privacy.

Now they’ve integrated conversational AI components, like Microsoft and Google did.

They call it…YouChat.

It’s pretty slick. They’re also integrating more information via AI apps so you open fewer tabs.

It’s conversational, too, so it’s like Bing GPT.

The privacy-focused search engines never gained as much traction, except for sort of DuckDuckGo.

It will be interesting to see how the AI-focused search engines fare.

💯 AI writes your brand’s content

So, once again, we’re sending a company's data through the magical AI box. This AI spits out new data in the same voice and tone as the company's brand.

Small data wins.

In this case it’s Jasper AI. They just announced a ton of new AI features.

Think of it as an AI assistant for brand content.

Instead of taking time to write that fourth tweet in a week about shoe sales, the AI can whip it up.

Once again, AI features for big companies are easier.

Market penetration for smaller AI companies is much, much harder.

It’s a question of how many big companies will do it.

In the short term, will a company like Microsoft squash the small AI companies?Is it easier for a large company to plug in to OpenAI?

If AI adoption is anything like cloud adoption, then startups have a chance.
