Google Duplex
The newest artificial intelligence through Google to invest in is Google Duplex. This new systematic software allows you to conduct natural conversations over the phone. Using this, you can achieve real-world tasks more efficiently.
The program is explicitly directed toward completing certain types of tasks; these include scheduling appointments. For jobs like this, the system allows your clients and colleagues to speak into the phone like they would with a person.
While Google Duplex is advanced, it does have its limitations. For example, it’s only trained to have conversations related directly to the required task. This means that it cannot conduct generalized conversations with humans.
