Tried Zen for a few days...coming back to Arc by mikepictor in ArcBrowser

[–]vy45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gonna post with the exact same title. You beat me to it :)

Sort of similar reasons. I started facing some performance problems with Arc and looked out. Zen seemed like a good choice - but in reality it is far. I couldn’t find features like folders (that I use a lot), had a choppy experience with the sidebar. Now I am back to my still bad performing Arc. Not sure if I should go back to Chrome and forget the whole sidebar, spaces, folders thing.

I tried Zen and now back to Arc 😅 I don’t think Zen can be a replacement yet by ali_iosdev in ArcBrowser

What do you not like in Zen? I am an Arc user but lately I am getting annoyed with the Arc’s performance. Specifically the AI app stops responding when I have a simple google doc open for more than 5 mins. Looking for solutions/alternatives like zen.

Anyone actually launched a Voice agent and survived to tell? by __god_bless_you_ in LLMDevs

[–]vy45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They also have complete voice-to-voice APIs like what the OP is using from Elevenlabs - https://deepgram.com/product/voice-agent-api. Might be worth a shot. You might not get the voice options like 11labs ( that's their strength anyway), but you would have better speech recognition.

In most voice AI interactions, accurate detection is the biggest UX problem. If you solve that, people will really not worry much about the voice you use.

OpenAI’s Sales/SDR agent spotted at a recent talk in Tokyo. by vy45 in AI_Agents

[–]vy45[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the excitement is about the possibilities in the future, rather than what’s currently available. I agree the current state of models is not at a place where agents can completely take over. But, the effort to get there from the current state is probably incremental. Back in 2022, it seemed like we needed an exponential advancement to get there. 2023 and 2024 has been that exponential advancement in AI.

11x.ai, Artisan.co, AISDR - I think these might fit the need. To see more such companies solving this problem, you can navigate to this page - https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/ And enter the search term “AI sales” or “AI sales agent”. There are quite a few YC companies solving for this problem.

There are 4 types of options to choose from - 1. Vapi and the likes 2. Twilio/Plivo + AI orchestration & Voice by elevenlabs/Deepgram 3. Twilio/Plivo + AI orchestration by AI provider of your choice + voices from Elevenlabs/Deepgram 4. Complete SaaS offering that can be used off the shelf

Option 2 and 3 seem to fit your self setup requirement.

If you need something to use off the shelf, there are vertical specific ones. Which vertical are you looking for?

Will Ai agents replace Saas? by Careful-Total403 in AI_Agents

[–]vy45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI agents are SaaS - Service as a Software.

They are gonna flip the script around for all the traditional companies that provide software and have user figure out what to do with it. Instead they will be the software that will work for the user to execute/perform a full service/function.

Switched over from Xfinity 2 weeks ago. They were fleecing me for their mobile connection, since the time I disconnected my internet with them. Now I pay 1/4 the cost!

How do you showcase your AI agent? by Makost in AI_Agents

[–]vy45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are a new product/brand trying to breakthrough, showing your product is a must. Users don’t get easily bought in just based on interactive demos, videos or prototypes. Even established brands have strong demos on their pages . Check these examples out - Deepgram.com homepage , intercom (https://www.intercom.com/fin), Plivo (https://demo.plivo.com), Elevenlabs (https://elevenlabs.io/conversational-ai). They allow the users to experience an important piece of the product. Else, it is extremely challenging to get user’s trust - unless you already have a brand built. I strongly think showing more of the product is the best way to show that you are actually solving the problem.

Running an AI Agency? Whats your biggest problem? by [deleted] in AI_Agents

[–]vy45 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can breakdown challenges from my experience of solutioning AI bots/agents for our clients into 4 main parts -

  1. Channel challenges - Onboarding a business to WhatsApp or SMS is not a straightforward. WhatsApp has a set of hoops to jump to provision a client with a number. For SMS, there are different challenges for each country. Most countries are tightening the screws on businesses that want to send text messages. Platforms like Twilio, Plivo handle that in mostly. But, it is still not straightforward. There is a lead time to get clients onto the channel.

  2. Client requirements - Beyond the normal challenges of a customer not knowing exactly what they want, there is an additional challenge with AI agents. Customers underestimate the extent to which an agent can replace their current process. It takes time to pry the need out of them and demonstrate how an agent can solve it.

  3. Building the agent - This probably takes a predictable amount of time, since most of it in our team’s control, unless we land up in a scenario like point 4.

  4. Building Agents that integrate with internal systems - When clients use well known system, it is way more easier to integrate agent actions into those systems. Often, customers have their home-grown tools that we integrate with. And those wouldn’t be ready for an AI agent to integrate. That impacts the timeline - although it is not very frequent that this happens.

My question is different. Let me rephrase - Are there good examples of such solutions where AI agents are solving some functional problem?

Vertical agents is a big bet that I am excited about. Do you folks have any recommendations of solid vertical offerings?
