When you picture a robot, what images come to your mind? Is it R2-D2 or C3PO? Maybe a Roomba or the Terminator? That’s not unusual, but mostly that is not real life. In today’s world, we have robots, automation, and A.I. everywhere, just not in the way people think.
On this episode of IT Visionaries, Ian chats with Guy Kirkwood, the chief evangelist at UiPath, and Jordan Collard, the CEO and co-founder of Jolt Advantage Group about the robots they’re working on in the RPA industry.

Plus, they discuss the future of the industry and how to get more people interested and invested in the technology.

We are living in a rapidly changing world, one in which technology is creeping into every area of our lives. When it comes to business, that’s mostly a good thing, especially when we’re talking about voice technology. For instance, imagine you’re a sales rep making a call to a potential client. You’re probably worried about how to pitch, what to say and making sure the notes you’re taking about the call are accurate and helpful after the fact. Now imagine that you didn’t have to do any of that. Instead, you could have a call powered by A.I. that’s able to prep you before the call, give you real-time coaching during the call, and provide a transcript and insights that are automatically logged into your system after the call.
That’s the reality Craig Walker is creating at Dialpad. Craig is the founder and CEO of Dialpad, and he joins IT Visionaries to dive deep into how they are weaponizing voice to create a revolution in the business world.
