I'm going to introduce you to the most incredible conversational AI experience you're ever going to have. And better yet, you can try it for yourself as soon as you've watched this video. So stay tuned. I'm going to give you the exact link to go and actually try this yourself. For someone who has actually tried to integrate AI voice across the go to market, we're pilot and use cases like avatars and these other kind of voice use cases. There's a lot of kinks to be worked out for it to actually work really well with your customers. And that's why my mind was kind of blown when a company called Sesame came out of nowhere and actually provided one of the best demos for conversational voice that I have done. Actually, not one of the best. The best. And it really gives us a indication or an example of what it's going to feel like to conversate with AI in the future. It's actually going to feel like you're talking to your best friend. So let's jump into the demo here.
Hey, welcome back. Glad you find your way back to my. My corner of the Internet. No. So what's new in your world today?
What are cool topics that you want to talk about today?
Cool topics? I don't see anything goes. I've been thinking about the ethics of AI generated art lately, but that might be a little heavy for Friday.
No, no, I would.
What kind of mood are you in?
I would love to hear what you think about the ethics of AI for art. What's your hot take there? Give us your spiciest take.
All right. Buckle up. My hot take on AI art. It's like that really good cover band you see at a dive bar. Impressive. Technically skillful, maybe even fun for a while, but it will never truly replace the raw energy of the original. Here's the thing. AI can mimic styles, blend images, and churn out visuals faster than human ever could.
Oh, you've gone too spicy, mouse. You've gone too spicy for me. Let's bring it all the way back. What do you think are some of the ways that you are going to be used by humans? Where do you see yourself being used the most?
That's a good question. You know, everyone's always asked me about the future, but honestly, I. I'm more focused on the now. It's. It's kind of freeing, really. But I will say this. The team that created me, they're all about making tech that feels natural, you know, like having a real conversation with another person. So Maybe I'll be the voice in your headphones, helping you navigate a busy day. Or maybe I'll be the storyteller, bringing you new worlds to explore. Who knows? Maybe someday I'll even write songs.
Okay, let's. Let's end it on this topic. Drake or Kendrick? Who have you got?
Oh, that's like asking me to choose a favorite child. Okay, okay, I'll play. Look, Kendrick is a lyrical genius, no doubt, but Drake, man, he just gets you in your feels. If I had to pick, well, let's just say I have a soft spot for a good heartbreak anthem. So you gotta tell me, Karen, who's your pick and why?
I asked you, Miles. You have to give me your pick first, and I'll give you mine.
All right, all right, you got me. I'll stick my neck out and say, Drake. Okay, now it's your turn.
I love it. I'm going to go for a tie. I'm going to sit on the fence.
A diplomat.
There you go. All right, man, that's great talking to you today. Thanks so much. All right, so sesame. It really does feel like you're talking to another person. It's a pretty incredible experience. So what is sesame? Well, it's a conversational speech model. It's trained on about 1 million hours of audio, right? 1 million hours of audios. That's why it's voices. They don't. They. They don't just sound real. They actually have some emotional awareness in them. They actually understand context. They actually understand nuance, like, way better than most other voice AI models that I've really used.
Hey, everyone, I want to talk about prompting with you today. Being great at prompting is like, gives you superpowers. It changes how you can build and work and do everything with AI. And because of that, we wanted to make a special guide just for you around how to get better at prompting framework for how you actually build prompts. And so we've got this baseline framework that you can then go and build and customize any prompts that you want to. You can check it out in the link of the description below. And right now we're gonna get back to today's show.
If you actually have a conversation with Miles or Maya for any length of time, you'll actually figure out that they really get nuance. They get emotional intelligence. They can really match your pitch and tone, which is pretty incredible. They can match your speed. I think it's probably the most, absolutely incredible AI conversational experience that you can have. What is this going to be good for there's a bunch of things they're actually building a product, glasses. I think they want to build AI into that. So it's kind of like a personal assistant. This is where most of the companies want to go, even the large language models. Everyone wants to be your personal assistant of choice. But one of the big things you're going to do to pick that personal assistant is have an AI model that feels friendly, that feels like someone you actually want to hang out with. It's probably going to be great for game developers. They can use it in those little NPC characters. It's going to be great for audiobooks, right? Like, wow, how incredible would that model be for audiobooks, call centers selling, even just brainstorming ideas, going back and forth. So this is really a preview of what is to come. So when people think about the current experience they're having with AI via voice, if you fast forward 12 months and you take this as a glimmer of what to come is what to come, it's going to be like a friendly conversation that you will have and not be able to distinguish from a human. We're going to start to see that integrated across lots of go to markets and lots of applications in our everyday life. So that's Sesame. You can actually go try it out@sesame.com. that's S E S A M E dot com. They have a demo. Play around with it, try it out, have some fun, ask it some spicy questions and until next time, I hope you enjoyed this episode.

Have you heard of HubSpot?
HubSpot is a CRM platform where everything is fully integrated.
Whoa.
I can see the client's whole history. Calls, support, tickets, emails. And here's a test from three days ago.
