Kore.ai Customer Conference Brings Together Industry Leaders, Analysts to Contemplate on the Future of User Experiences With AI Technologies

Kore Konversations plays host to captivating discussions on how Conversational AI and Generative AI together will transform enterprise customer and employee experiences

Kore.ai, the world’s leading enterprise conversational AI platform and solutions company, unveiled a framework for rapid and large-scale adoption of conversational AI and generic AI use cases within global businesses through the use of generative AI and large language models (LLMs). The new framework, GALE (Generative AI LLM Platform for Enterprise), was announced as part of its new product stack at the conclusion of its two-day customer event, Kore Konversations, during May 25-26, 2023 in Orlando, Florida.

Kore.ai’s first-ever customer-centric event, Kore.ai Konversations – The Real Conversations, was focused around the theme “The Future of Experiences,” and saw more than 300 delegates from large global enterprise customers, prospects, partners and analysts from diverse industries across 18 countries.

In his keynote address, Kore.ai CEO and Founder Raj Koneru emphasized the need for technologies that enrich end-user experiences as a means to build value and improve business outcomes. As human experiences are centered around languages, technologies that excel in natural language usage will enable enterprises to foster great experiences for their customers, employees, agents and partners alike, he explained.

“Spoken words, visual signs and gestures are at the core of how we express our needs, feelings and emotions. That’s how we are born, connect with others and grow up. Every application and enterprise function of the future will be conversationally enabled and transform the way businesses interact with their customers and employees. The emergence of generative AI and LLMs has added a new dimension by opening unlimited possibilities to create enriched experiences. Businesses need to foster a robust language strategy to ride this wave of innovation,” Koneru said.

Kore.ai, a frontrunner in leveraging GenAI technology, is creating best practices around conversational as well as non-conversational user experiences through its formalized GALE framework. These practices, which were shared with the delegates at the event, focus on simplifying, expediting, and enhancing the process of building virtual assistants for better end-user experiences. It also involves building domain-specific customized LLMs that are pre-trained and can orchestrate conversations in accordance with enterprise data, business rules, and user context.

In his special address to the gathering, Gartner Vice President and Distinguished Analyst Bern Elliot predicted that generative AI and ChatGPT will profoundly impact the conversational AI landscape by improving productivity and changing the way customer service experiences are delivered.

The conference featured two customer panels with delegates from American Water, Florida Blue, Millennium Bank, San Ysidro Health, MAZAMA, Express Scripts, eBay, Morgan Stanley, PNC Bank, and Kore.ai. The speakers shared their conversational AI implementation stories, challenges and best practices, while also discussing the opportunities associated with generative AI and LLMs. Panelists also shared cautions around key aspects such as enterprise security, hallucination, response controls, and calibration. The panelists recounted their experiences of working with Kore.ai as a trusted partner that’s leading some of the most innovative and consequential implementations in the market today.
