On Friday, 19th September at 9:30am, Adam Dustagheer, founder of Datnexa joins our AI Innovator Spotlight for a live session! Adam will be talking about Hey Geraldine, an AI app, designed by Datnexa for Peterborough City Council. The app is a perfect example of AI innovation. And Adam will be sharing how it went from concept to implementation and what other businesses can learn from the process. The project began with a critical step: selecting the right use case. By focusing on a clear problem, Adam and his team built an AI assistant that frontline staff actually use, delivering measurable results and improving service delivery. In the session, Adam will be sharing: • How the team identified the right use case • The steps his multidisciplinary team took to build and deploy the assistant • Key lessons learnt about AI and building apps that actually work We also include time for Q&A so you can explore how this applies in your organisation.

A diverse group of professionals from around the world explored the use of these AI tools, which are appearing everywhere. The discussion highlighted three clear themes: >Transparency >Consent >Accuracy >Data Privacy Based on today's discussion, I will develop a set of guidelines that people can use when organising or attending meetings, as well as points to consider when choosing an AI notetaker. The goal is to give professionals the confidence to adopt AI notetakers responsibly, while keeping collaboration and trust at the centre of the process. It's not too late to share your thoughts - what has your experience been so far? What do you want to discuss at the next Coffee and Collaboration session?

Paypal have teamed up with Perplexity to offer their pro plan free for 12 months. Not sure how long this will be available but I've just signed up. Seemed too good to pass up.

Can I ask if anyone in the community has a recommendation for a voice to text app or software? I know a few programmes and apps have it built in (Google, ChatGPT) but largely I'd like something to take the hassle out of typing (even though I'm a touch typist and quick, it can be annoying. P.S. Weirdly I actually prefer briefing ChatGPT using typing because it gives me more time to craft my prompt and to structure it properly, and to go back and correct things if I change my mind in the middle of it all! Thanking you muchly!

AI notetakers - are they a productive assistant or unwelcome guest? As a group, I wonder if we could collaborate on the creation of a set of social rules that we, as business professionals, could start to include in our meeting invites to ensure our colleagues/clients etc understand what is acceptable use of AI notetakers and what isn't. It comes after learning about a law case filed in the US last month, Brewer v. Otter.ai that alleges Otter's “Otter Notetaker” and “OtterPilot” services recorded, accessed and used the contents of private conversations without obtaining proper consent. How do you feel about AI notetakers attending meetings without being invited? What control do we have on the data recorded in such meetings? I would like to suggest an Collaborative Coffee Meetup where can discuss this matter in more detail and draft some guidelines that we can use moving forward? How does that sound? If you think this is a great idea, vote below and if I get more than 5 people saying Yay, I'll go ahead and arrange a time.
