George Davis: Customer communication acts as a system of last resort
“So these are the kinds of things you can do when you break into understanding the surface of communication with your customers, because it's a system of last resort. When your other systems don't work, this is where they come.”
Davis: Integrating systems into chat channels transforms team chat into a platform
“The last thing, and the thing that makes Team Chat a platform, and the thing that's probably changing fastest, is the ability to integrate and put other data and systems in the same room as your conversation.”

Davis: Time to insight is the key metric for enterprise AI
“So the important metric is time to insight. How quickly can we actually be doing things that reflect a real understanding of what's happening in your company?”

Davis: NLP tasks hard for humans remain hard for AI
“Basically anything that is really hard for you to do as a human is still gonna be pretty hard for us.”
Davis: Frame.ai is re-implementing Google's Sling framework
“We're kind of, we're fiddling with and re-implementing the Sling framework that came out of Google a couple of weeks ago we think there's a lot of opportunities there in terms of creative uses of neural networks to represent semantic frames at different timesc…”
