[45:03] Everything we talked about in this webinar so far, every feature that we are building right now is a step, a building block that will prepare us for this.
And of course, this paradigm shift won't happen overnight. This is a slow process. But it will eventually become the new norm. Yes, there is still a lot of hype around the technology and maybe more useless features than useful ones, which makes the whole thing feel like a scam sometimes. But once the dust settles, the real value will stand out from the noise, and we believe it will disrupt eCommerce space like everything else. And this is why we’re investing in this right now. We are not doing this because of the hype. We’re focusing on the other side of this cloud of dust.
Felix also has a few words to say about this.
[46:01] Felix: Thanks, Tufan. So, I think also from a business user perspective, talking to my customers, it seems like most companies, even if they aren’t using AI right now, they’re very aware of its potential and they’re exploring how to start using it. So maybe they aren’t doing it right now, but they are looking for partners like FactFinder to help them integrate AI solutions in their daily business.
Q&As
[46:39] Tobias: We are almost perfectly on time for the actual webinar. We are over actually, but I still want to take time for at least one or two quick questions, so we don't keep you guys too long. We’ve received lots of questions and we will address all of them, even those we can't address right now after the webinar, but we had one question about the models we are using for our solutions like vector search. I mentioned that it's hosted locally, it’s our own. It's not like an OpenAI solution. Can we say something about what we are using here?
[47:43] Yuliia: Thank you for the question. Indeed, as I mentioned, we’re not using OpenAI models and we do not use any external cloud-based LLMs for embedding generations. I’d like to keep what we’re using currently a small secret because this is our technology that we’re building.
But in any case, we’re ensuring all compliance, data protection and everything related to our customers’ concerns is fully covered. So, please be in touch with us and you’ll see the models’ performance will keep getting better, because we’re constantly training them on customer data, as I mentioned. Thank you.
[48:35] Tobias: Thank you. We also received lots of questions about specific use cases for vector search. For everyone who wants to try it out with their own data, we invite you to reach out for a personalized demo. I think that's the best approach, so you can actually try out what you would use it for.
I have one more question I'd like to ask you guys: what to do if AI Guided Selling generates something wrong. I think you mentioned it in passing, but if you could just talk about it a little bit more.
Yuliia: Thank you. So, of course, since it's AI and it's not deterministic, basically, it can create, still natural language speech questions, right? And it can make mistakes.
Of course, we do not push you to use this tree completely untouched. You can easily manually edit, delete or change any question it creates. You can also change the order of the questions and answers with the drag-and-drop function.
So basically, it’s important to understand that the AIGS-generated tree is a draft that you can customize to your needs. It's just to reduce your manual effort, because based on conversations with our customers, sometimes it takes days to create a tree, right? And with AIGS, you have a draft in just a few seconds, which you can tweak wherever you like.
[50:30] So, feel free to play with it. If you don't like one tree, you can just delete it and create a new tree by running the very same query. We’ll add even more customization in the future, so you can define how many questions to include, how long the Q&A sequence goes on for, etc. This is all based on our customers' feedback. So, the more feedback we receive, the better we can make the feature. Thank you.
[51:17] Tufan: I also want to say a few words about this. Please also, for this question, refer to my data enrichment presentation. You can rest assured that this is our number one nemesis right now. We’re perfectly aware of this problem, that this is the biggest challenge in all AI features. We need to solve this manual human review problem to make the AI innovations perfectly scalable, fast and free of human effort. But you will see this now in every solution. I would say our difference in FactFinder is we’re aware that this is the number one barrier to mass adoption, and we’re focused on tackling it.
[52:19] Tobias: So, watching the clock, I’d say we wrap it up for today. Again, all your questions will be addressed after this. I just wanted to thank everyone, of course, our dear listeners, for taking the time out of your day to listen to us for this whole time. Also, of course, thank you to our great speakers.
