The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

The bigger problem in the coming years for like voice AI is really knowing when to talk and when not to talk.

So it's understanding all these nuances in the work more than making the latency faster or making the voices more realistic, which I don't think that's the limiting factor today.

We're talking about late 2023, probably.

The a16z Show

LLMs were like decent enough.

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

LLMs was picking up with the text-to-speeds and everything was kind of working together, but we had to build something that could actually connect all the dots and actually make something work, no?

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

That kind of shaped our company where

We really had technology and innovation as the core of our company and always pushing this frontier and solving problems like firsthand.
