The Adobe Analytics Team recently polled
More than 400 major brands in various industries: 91% makes significant investments in the voice right now, 71% believes that the voice will undoubtedly improve UX in the future. Here is another figure: by 2023, 8 billion voice assistants will be used in the world, Juniper Research predicts , - there will be two or three assistants per person , but even in this situation, the number of active users will reach 3-4 billion people. So what content do developers and businesses create to win these users? The participants of Conversations'19 will have two days to deal with the questions that the conversational AI poses before us.
What will headliners at Developers' Day talk about (and more)?
More interesting topics and names on the Conversations
Developers' Day website will be completed by a section in the public talk genre, where developers will share their personal - successful, difficult, diverse - experience in creating bots and voice skills.
For example, Stepan Grankin, a senior programmer at Aeroclub IT , will talk about developing a prototype B2B skill for Alice, which should work with the company's closed infrastructure. And it will prove the hypothesis that skills in Alice help to increase the number of downloads and searches in the mobile application. And Anna Savinkova , whose voice-based Citadel game recently won the Alice Award, will not only show which path lies between the idea for the skill and its recognition, but it will also reveal the secrets of promoting the skill.
And also in the program: epic fails in creating chatbots for clients, the laws of building interactive systems, the basics of NLU and how they help in the construction of conversational AI systems, the presentation of smart devices and IoT techniques under voice control, open discussions and master classes on creating action for voice assistants, HR briefing, Just Summer Party and much more.
