Conversational AI projects: a marathon
Chatbots and voicebots are quick and easy. No problem at all. That’s the myth that needs to be shattered here. Many people, when they embark on their first conversational AI project, underestimate the amount of time and effort required to design, build, deploy and maintain their assistants
Matt Portillo, Conversation Design Lead at Amelia, joins us to share why conversational AI projects aren’t really projects; they’re long-term journeys as well as how you should prepare and the steps you should take to ensure success.
