Weird, because it seems like the demo video is pretend data anyway ("Mr. Smith", etc). I agree, I would like to see a more fully-baked demo where you connect it to a testing CRM and a toy order api and get it to answer several customer queries using live information.

Ah, I misunderstood the question. Let me see if we can get something up.

Very impressive! How many jobs do you estimate this could displace?

akyshnik · 2 months ago

It's a huge industry, so a lot. Job is really stressful and has a lot of employee churn, so it's not really something I feel bad about. Pressing elevator buttons was a job too back then

what does the feedback loop look like to your agents - wonder how hard it will be to generalize metrics across these agents!

akyshnik · 2 months ago

feedback is generated based on evals. example: eval: function foo wasn't triggered even though [...]

feedback (exaggerated): 1. change stage prompt 2. change function description 3. add extra instructions to the end of the context

metrics are easy to generalize (e.g. call transfer rate), but baseline is different for each agent, so we're interpreting only the changes, not the absolute values (in the context of self-improvement).

Have you tried your solution in noisy environments? Like a call to a person in a restaurant.

akyshnik · 2 months ago

Noisy is ok, but it doesn't work that well when there are multiple clear speakers and not much noise. We are planning to add speaker diarization to address this.

Your demo is nice, but why don't you show a call? That would be a lot more convincing...

Only for the data privacy reasons

Does anyone find it weird that the General Conference of Weights and Measures has acronym CGWM instead of GCWM?

akyshnik · 3 years ago

It's CGPM, from French "Conférence générale des poids et mesures"

part of the accuracy comes from google knowing who you are and what you typically search for.

akyshnik · 4 years ago

If accuracy means creating a personal echo chamber, then I'm against this kind of accuracy
