So there's just so much richness in voice.

And and it's so important to give candidates that like opportunity to stand out.

That one person who ended up getting the role, if he was, you know, again, if you're a judge on the resume, he wouldn't have a voice.

But he made his case to the company.

He explained why he should be selected.

And then he got to stand out.

And that's just not something that you could do without voice AI.

So I'm a technologist at heart.

So I'm deep in the engineering of voice AI.

I think what impressed me the most was one time where I was testing an interview with Ezra.

And it asked me a fairly simple question.

And I just went off in a completely tangential direction.

I start and I try to get it to...

i actually tried to trick ever into telling me something or saying something illegal i tried to trick it into asking me about my whether i was about to go on paternity leave and then i was trying to derail it and i kept interrupting it i kept you know trying to get it to interrupt me i stopped sentences

midway like that to see if it would yeah to see if it would interrupt me and throughout all of that it kept the conversation going it didn't say anything illegal it didn't interrupt me kept the flow very very polite and it was just such a cool experience so that was the moment I was like wow this really works and it's hard it's really hard I mean think of

Think of how much money Apple and Amazon have invested into Siri and Alexa and how frustrating some of these product experiences are.

Voice AI is a very, very difficult problem.

And so when I had that experience, I was like, wow, we are onto something.

This works.

And then the other thing we're doing is there's so much fraud right now.
