Solution

EliseAI (opens in a new window) uses conversational AI to drive efficiency for customers in the housing and healthcare industries. We spoke with Minna Song, CEO of EliseAI, about how AI is transforming these industries, the challenges of running a startup in this climate, and the future of automation. We decided to go all in with AI from the start. It was less of an "aha" moment with AI and more of a mindset of solving any problem we could, and AI could help us do that. We knew natural language processing was advancing quickly, even in 2017 there was a lot of investment into research, and we anticipated it would get better. And so we asked ourselves, how do we take the great research, great technology, that is coming out and actually apply it to really important fundamental problems we experience in society.
