MenuI'm looking for a support/sales chat bot powered by A.I. and natural language.
Is there any startup with a functional chat bot that can be plugged into a website as a plugin like Olark, and we can feed information about our products?
Answers
Without more detail it is hard to make a good recommendation. Since I don’t know your exact needs I will share the best AI based chat tool I have seen. It is offered by a company called NextIT. You can see it in use at goarmy.com. If navigate there and chat with Sgt. Star you can ask him just about anything you can think of and you will get a good and accurate response.
The problem with having a plugin AI system is that It will be very generic and might not cover the area of interest that you are working on.
Good news is that all pretrained models can be trained specifically for one's use case, but to achieve a good accuracy one will need a lot of data which can either be generated or gathered.
Once the data is in place and selection of pre-trained model has been made, it is just matter of time before you can have a good - great system working for you.
One can keep training the system every time it the system runs into a dead end to make it more robust and aligned to the task at hand.
Let me know if you'd like a detailed orientation on the above approach.

How can we expand into the US market with an AI tool?
I have worked with a number of AI tools - both webbased and locally installed tools - and have a background in mathematics/statistics. So I am familiar with this space. My suggestion is first and foremost focus on the use case - forget that it is an AI tool. If your tool provides value, and solves problems for your customers, they will come no matter the underlying technology. When you say "web driven", I assume that this is some kind of subscription model, and you don't expect to sell anything face to face? Again, I would focus on use case (we solve problems), value creation (how much do we save or make?), ease of use (just upload this file and watch the magic happen), cloud installation (no need for own maintenance or local data scientists to maintain models). In the AI-space, your competitors are often internal employees - data scientists, statisticians, etc., and they are familiar with their own tools. So find out, who is your target segment in the businesses. Most likely a data scientist would tell you, that "I could build that myself". But what about following maintenance cost, depending on individuals, etc. So do you target to data scientists or business users? Often successful projects happen in collaboration; one can not live without the other. With regards to your focus on the US I am curious, why you focus there. Is that where you are located physically? Or there you see the most likely target customers? Since you are web driven SaaS, couldn't you go anywhere? I hope this helps. Feel free to schedule a call, if I can help you further with this. Best regards Kenneth WolstrupKenneth WolstrupKW

I am writing a book on artificial intelligence, what are the biggest challenges that you have had applying AI to your business or to clients?
One of the biggest challenges I’ve seen when applying AI to business is bridging the gap between technical capabilities and real-world needs. Many clients expect AI to be a magic fix, but they often underestimate the importance of clean, structured data. Another major hurdle is aligning AI models with existing workflows—people resist change, and integration takes time. There’s also the ethical aspect: making sure the AI is transparent and fair, especially when it influences decisions. Lastly, maintaining trust is critical. If an AI system fails even once, stakeholders lose confidence quickly. Balancing innovation with reliability is always a tightrope walk.Ivory RollansIR

I am writing a book on artificial intelligence, anyone open to being interviewed about your experiences for the book?
I am happy to volunteer! I have a more "classical" background in mathematical statistics, and I have followed the distribution of artificial intelligence with great interest and curiosity; also because, I feel, that the actual application and real life-value of AI-implementations often drowns in technical aspects. So what is actually delivered is more the Data Scientists "wet dream" rather than something, that works in real life. If you are interested, feel free to contact me.

What are most important things for average executive to know about AI?
1. Start by focusing on the business problem, you want to solve, and how you want to implement the solution. 2. Don't be scared by the buzzwords (i.e. "If you don't use AI, you will be out of business in five years). Sometimes a standard report is fine. 3. Although you should start small by solving existing pains, be curious, and understand the potential for large scale solutions. Understand enough of the technology, that you understand the scale and type of problems that can be solved. But don't do this until you are done with 1. and 2. Good question and good luck with it! If you are interested in further dialogue, feel free to schedule a call. Best regards Kenneth WolstrupKenneth WolstrupKW
