2023 saw an explosion of AI. 2024 will make 2023 look like cheap fireworks next to the Death Star's superlaser.

SaaS founders either go with the flow or are swept away. Here's where I see AI tooling going, how software founders can adapt and adopt these technologies, and what consumer expectations around conversational AI will mean for your marketing, customer service, and feature roadmaps.

There seems to be a lack of consensus regarding whether or not AI is about to change everything or if it's more hype than substance. We explore several news items that look into this. Plus, the ACLU doesn't think the US should ban TikTok. Airbnb might ban you based on who you hang out with. And DARPA is looking for some new aircraft designs.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Mobility super apps are something we’ve talked about before on the podcast – these are apps which combine all forms of travel in a city to enable you to plan, reserve, and pay for your journey, regardless of the mode of transport and operator.

We’ve seen the likes of Uber and Lyft add food delivery to their apps – and Uber is understood to be preparing the addition of long-distance travel bookings such as intercity trains, buses and planes. It already offers escooters, ebikes, and boats. And it has its sights set on becoming a one-stop shop for travel – a mobility super app.

But it’s not alone – and one of the largest such apps in Europe is FREE NOW. The company grew out of the Daimler/BMW mobility joint-venture of 2019 that pooled the two companies’ mobility services, but FREE NOW traces its roots back to taxi hailing apps mytaxi and Hailo. 

FREE NOW is a fully integrated multi-mobility platform, providing access to eScooters, eBikes, eMopeds and car sharing, including partnerships with SIXT and Dott.

FREE NOW has more than 54 million users in 16 markets and in over 170 cities - and it has 1,850 employees, including Silvia Fischer, FREE NOW’s VP Smart Mobility.

steigern will.

Dabei geht es auch um die Politik und deren Masterplan für 2050 und was die SBB dabei für eine Rolle spielt. Als Familienvater setzt Vincent je nach Mobilitätsbedürfnis auf verschiedenste Verkehrsträger und kennt dadurch auch deren Stärken und Schwächen genau.

Pain control following a total knee is an art and a science.  The idea of multimodal non-narcotic scheduled medication is a great improvement over the old way of treating pain.  Here I will review my philosophy and algorithm for treating pain symptoms related to total knee replacement surgery.

How do you choose a voice for your brand? Why is it important for brands to have a voice in the first place? And what are the things you need to consider when choosing a voice? 

Today on the show, we welcome the CEO of WillowTree, Tobias Dengel, to answer these questions and give us a deeper insight into what the feeling is amongst the top tech execs about voice technology today. WillowTree is a leading mobile strategy, design, and app development company servicing Fortune 500 and Fortune 5000 clients like Pepsi, General Electric, Johnson & Johnson, and Time Warner (to name-drop a few!). 

In this episode, we discover the demand, the debates, and the challenges facing the world of voice technology and the importance of using multi-modal interfaces. One of the most fascinating parts of this interview looks at designing the voice identity of a brand and how companies are deciding on the voice they use. Human or robot? Samuel L. Jackson or Angelina Jolie? Male? Female? Or non-binary voices? Here, we get into an interesting discussion on how stereotypes can be perpetuated by using certain voices and the push toward promoting the use of more neutral and non-binary voices in apps today. 

We also take a dive into the topic of commerce, looking specifically at voice payments and how it is going to transform the future of mobile transactions. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a behind-the-scenes look at the conversations and questions that top agency and company execs are having right now, and a clearer view of the future of voice.
