Hello there!
As I write to you this week, the sound of waves crashing against the shore and the distant laughter of my family can be heard in the background. Yes, you guessed it right – I'm on a much-needed holiday, taking a moment to recharge and soak up some quality time with my loved ones.
While things might be a bit slower than usual, I assure you that the world of Conversational AI never truly rests, and neither does my commitment to keeping you in the loop.
This week, we're taking a deep dive into understanding what it truly means to be an AI Strategist. As someone who dons this title with immense pride, I've curated a blog that elucidates the role, responsibilities, and unique charm that comes with being an AI Strategist. Whether you're contemplating a career in this field or are simply intrigued by it, this piece is sure to offer some valuable insights.
The job board, of course, continues to be an exciting hub of opportunities. Whether you're seeking a new challenge or exploring the field, check out the roles that could potentially change the course of your professional journey.
So here's what I suggest – grab your favourite beverage, find a cosy spot, and delve into this week's issue. It's brimming with thought-provoking content, and I'm excited for you to uncover it all.
To a week of rest, rejuvenation, and AI revelation!

Latest Blogs and Content
As I mentioned in the opening, I’ve become somewhat of a ‘Chandler Bing’ to my friends and family. They don’t really have a clue what I do as a job. My kids say that I am in charge of all the robots, my wife knows that it has something to do with chatbots, my friends think that they know everything about it because of chatGPT and my parents still think I work for Orange, 21 years after leaving.
So, having thought long and hard about what I do, what it is called and how to explain it, I wrote this blog - Jobs of the Future: AI Strategist.
If you’ve got something to say that is related to Conversational AI careers or career development or you’d like to tell your own story of your career, then feel free to reach out. I’d love to feature some guest blogs.
