SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AVIOS announced it is providing a resource for companies both just starting to look at this technology to those wanting to expand its use through reviving the live version of its Conversational Interaction Conference, to be held February 16-17, 2022, in San Jose, California. The conference provides a way for companies to learn about the latest tools and technologies available for employing natural language interactions for customer service, marketing, understanding customer behavior, making internal processes more efficient, and more.

"As an example, automation allows a call to customer service become an affordable way to engage a customer in a conversation instead of trying to make the call as short as possible," according to William Meisel, Executive Director, AVIOS, and CI Conference organizer. "A customer has chosen to engage with the company. An automated conversation can go beyond simple customer service to marketing at much less cost than reaching that customer through advertising."

A company can also engage a customer conversationally through other options such as a chatbot on a web site or an app on a mobile phone. "Once the basic 'natural language understanding' is established for the context of a specific business or service using available tools, it can be expanded to multiple channels, from speech on a home device to chat on the phone," Meisel noted.

The major personal assistants, including Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa, and Google Assistant, demonstrate the rapidly developing capabilities in conversational technology. "The general personal assistants are an alternative to web search, including a way to reach companies," noted Meteer. "And the technology is constantly getting better. The time from research in AI and machine learning in the labs and integration into products is getting shorter, resulting in continually more robust and natural conversational systems. The companies that create these technologies and those using them come together at the AVIOS Conversational Interactions conference to show off what this new technology can do. It's a great venue to learn how to get started and how to get the latest technology into your enterprise."

The Conference provides sponsorship opportunities and accepts talk proposals.
