Pioneering AI Speech Models To Transform The Call Center

The Next Gen Call Center

Imagine a world where call center agents can effortlessly understand customers with thick accents, and background noise becomes a thing of the past. This future is closer than you think, thanks to advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and specifically, audio-based Large Language Models (LLMs). AI and audio-based LLMs are poised to revolutionize the call center landscape for enterprises and BPOs.

In a recent interview, we had the privilege of discussing these groundbreaking concepts with James Fan, the Chief Technology Officer of Tomato.ai. Before joining Tomato.ai, James served as a Senior Manager at Google, where he played a pivotal role in developing the CCAI analytics solution and led the Google Cloud Speech Group. Additionally, James founded and successfully exited Hello Vera, a contact center start-up.

Here are some key takeaways
