Tim Warren from Ambit: Artificial Intelligence Wizardry | #320 - a podcast by Nathan Bush
from 2023-07-23T19:00
In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Tim Warren, co founder and CEO of Ambit, a company that started building a conversational artificial intelligence platform back in 2016! Way ahead of the game, or as Tim describes it, just braver than others, they went all in on Ambit GPT, a retail focused chatbot that provides deeply personalised, automated conversations that delight customers. Kiwi born and bred, Ambit has clients such as The Warehouse group, Glassons and Dermalogica and raised a million New Zealand dollars last year to accelerate expansion here in Australia. Tim admits that understanding AI is really hard, but he does a great job of demystifying some of it for us. He unpacks the different types of data behind the platforms, shares how retailers can get the best out of their chatbot and how to stop the black hats from winning in the wild west of knowledge engineering. He also goes into fan fiction territory and explains how to train our very own AI Harry Potter wizard. Just go with us here!
