7:00PM - 8:00PM - Meet Amy: x.ai's CEO Discusses Humanized AI and its Role in User Experience

Amy Ingram is x.ai's name for their intelligent agent (a.k.a. artificial assistant) with a human-like quality. Amy works over email (users simply cc: amy@x.ai) and is a prime example of the idea of invisible software—as well as its accompanying user experience challenge. Rather than relying on a syntax (think Twitter) that requires a users working knowledge of how to use the product, x.ai works in a way that suggests to the user that he or she can converse with Amy any way they want to. A great deal of effort has been made by x.ai to humanize Amy, and you talk to Amy as a real "her".

Dennis Mortensen, founder and CEO will give us an introduction to x.ai (http://x.ai/), explain his concept of invisible software and how exactly they go about humanizing AI. Lastly, he’ll showcase Amy in action, her capabilities, how she gets smarter and will give us a glimpse into the user experience with User interaction examples from amy @ http://x.ai .
