Closing notes
I hope you enjoyed Issue #14.
This week has held some great conversations for me. Firstly, props to Barend Jungerius and his Botrepreneurs platform for the amazing networking event held this week. Conversations with people from all over the world where we could really geek-out over Conversational AI. I’ve been chatting with companies and organisations this week about how we can further leverage Conversational AI into HR and Recruitment - something I am completely passionate about.
Next week sees my diving into the Cognigy platform, as I’ve enrolled on the CDI taster course. Any fans?
I’m hoping that this newsletter keeps building and improving with every issue. Let me know your thoughts, feedback and ideas of what you want to see by DM on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram or even TikTok (not that I have worked that one out yet!).
Have a great week ahead!
