What does that actually mean for people who will be using and interacting with these AIs?

Brooke HopkinsGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I think that there's so much opportunity in voice because you have this, the reasoning capabilities of agents are just leaps and bounds ahead of what you can do with IVR.

Brooke HopkinsGUEST
But there's definitely this user problem that you mentioned where people are so used to IVR that's totally, you know, incapable of doing the thing that you wanted to do.

Brooke HopkinsGUEST
And so as soon as you get on the phone with what sounds like an automated device, agent, you say human, human, human, or like escalate, etc.

Brooke HopkinsGUEST
But I think we're going to start to see that agents actually are able to take actions on your behalf.

What's an example of a critical environment, like a voice doctor? Is that critical or what could be in that state?

Brooke HopkinsGUEST
So, like, for example, if you're calling to, you know, report fraud, can the agent successfully take in the right information? Financial services, where it has to follow a set of compliance procedures.

Brooke HopkinsGUEST
Healthcare, you know, you can't offer medical advice or, like, what kind of medical advice can you offer? And making sure that the agent is following those, within those guidelines.

Brooke HopkinsGUEST
So for a Fortune 500, how can you make sure that the agent is constantly representing your brand and your, your company as you, you know, in the best way possible.

And now it's not only how good of a programmer are you, but like, in what way do you build that's equally important? Can you tell me more? How do you build software at Koval? What's a day in the life of your engineers?
