Description

<p>Denzil Eden engineered an amazing conversational AI tool way before ChatGPT hit the news. Her product Smarty can organise your calendar with just a few words, and plays the role of your personal assistant.</p> <p>Denzil has degrees in computer science &amp; AI from MIT, and an MBA from Harvard, but found that the market wasn’t ready for her advanced product for a long time - and that pitching her startup now is a very different process now that people understand slick chatbots.</p> <p>We talk about why AI literacy is so important, and what she would do differently if she started again today (spoiler alert: she wouldn’t build the tool just yet!).</p> <p><strong>LINKS:</strong></p> <p>Denzil Eden on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/denzils/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/denzils/</a> </p> <p>Smarty AI: <a href="https://www.smarty.ai/">https://www.smarty.ai/</a> </p> <p><strong>EVENTS: </strong></p> <p>Follow Next Big Thing for the latest emerging tech news, events, job posts, and learning resources: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/nextbigthingstudios">www.instagram.com/nextbigthingstudios</a>  </p> <p><strong>CREDITS:</strong></p> <p>Host: Lauren Ingram</p> <p>Producer: Alex Lane<br>We record using Riverside.
