Seats are filling up for my webinar on June 27th entitled, "Designing More Effective Chatbots" The most common opening line for chatbots is “How can I help you?” These chatbots are designed to respond to user requests, making them both passive and transactional. They remain idle until a user initiates an interaction, and their role ends once the request is fulfilled. However, chatbots can achieve so so. much more. They can be programmed to coach, teach, nudge, and act as proactive assistants. These proactive chatbots help organizations engage their employees or customers to foster culture change, enhance skills, and bridge knowledge gaps. Join me on June 27th to learn how!

Although I decided to focus on enterprise software investments for the foreseeable future, I enjoy talking to and advising founders in other segments to share knowledge and keep my finger on the pulse. Office hours, Part 2: Side effect of the gig economy on the service industry. Per Max Holmes and Anirudh Kapuria, co-founders of Conduit, a small restaurant owner in the US would have to hire now two to three times for the same role. Every year. The reason? Gig-economy jobs killed switching costs for service industry employees. True reason? Employees need flexibility to keep up with study time and/or parental obligations. Fix? Create an employee-driven scheduling app to build optimized schedules for everyone and adjust them in real-time on demand. Result? Happy employees. But even happier employers who are saving a few hours on Sundays from manual scheduling and tons of energy on hiring and training. Sales strategy? Pull demand. Word of mouth. NPS should be close to 100. Usage: A few times a week. Growth opportunities: Vast, from starting as a scheduling app to turning into a hiring marketplace with added fintech capabilities to capitalize on the cash flows. Takeaways: #1 Software should solve the real pain for people to get them to sign up, change their habits, and use it. Once your solution becomes part of their routine, you can grow further from there. Don't try to put LLMs everywhere. First things first. #2 Focus should be on getting concentrated traction, not the occasional one. Concentrated traction means getting customers in a niche industry, small town, specific age group, etc. It will let you figure out everything faster than building occasional traction. This also makes an easier case for scale-up. #3 Ironically, if Conduit or companies alike succeed on scale, the service industry will become essential to the gig economy. Seems doable: when was the last time you met a happy Uber driver? :) #founders #investors #swartzcenter #gigeconomy #uber #driverlesscars

🚀 Excited to delve into the "NEXT 100" report by Antler, showcasing 100 groundbreaking ideas from India's top investors, operators, and founders on areas of Deep-Tech, D2C, Health etc. A standout for me was the Quantum use case in the Deep Tech section, highlighted by Ranjeet S., focusing on Security and Data Privacy using Quantum technology. India's vast landscape presents unique challenges, providing immense opportunities for businesses and startups to harness Quantum technology across various domains. Areas like last-mile delivery, security, drug discovery, clean energy, simulation, logistics optimization, and finance are ripe for Quantum innovation. Each of these sectors holds potential for new startups or solutions that could significantly reduce expenses for existing companies. It's inspiring to see India advancing in Quantum technology alongside global leaders. The Indian Cabinet's India DST approval of the National Quantum Mission (NQM) with a Rs. 6003.65 crore budget is a monumental step towards propelling India's leadership in this field. This initiative will undoubtedly provide a substantial boost to the ecosystem. I am hopeful that companies, investors will explore these Deep-Tech solutions to drive their growth and contribute to India's burgeoning tech landscape. At Artificial Brain we are already working on some of the use cases. 😉 You can read the Antler report here : https://lnkd.in/gpUk2cwv #QuantumTechnology #DeepTech #Innovation #Startups #India #NQM #Technology #Growth #BusinessOpportunities #Quantum

It is important to revisit concepts that might have eluded me. Take the Intuit Lacerte Software Development Kit (SDK). For the non-programmers, a Software Development Kit is instructions and tools for connecting to local data sources. Think of them as APIs but for accessing local data and hardware instead of cloud data. The first time I looked at the Lacerte SDK over a decade ago, I did not understand how it worked. The best I was able to do was to pull basic client information (names and address) for generating mailing labels. This was before my firm was doing digital delivery. As I started using Robot Process Automation (RPA) tools to input data into Lacerte, I learned about batch input. This let me gain a new understanding of the structure of Lacerte's data. Just last winter, I built some RPA tools to read organizer PDFs from Lacerte to build Document Requests List in SafeSend and Firm360. This let me gain a new understanding of the flow of Lacerte's data. Just a month ago, I connected with TruePrep AI to build tools for inputting data into Lacerte. My original plan was an RPA method since it was something I was familiar with. In that moment, I had decided to take another look at the Lacerte SDK. With an additional 10+ years of experience in understanding Lacerte's data structure and data flow, the SDK all makes sense. In my excitement of applying new knowledge, I can now generate those previous Document Request Lists more efficiently as well as add, update, and delete data from Lacerte. What does this mean? It means, custom import tools that can be catered to a firm's workflow like trial balances, depreciation, etc. It is always important to revisit concepts that have been previously elusive. We are the sum of our experiences and even a few months (from winter to spring) can change how we find solutions to problems.
