Sappy The Sales Assistant Parrot (Matt TerBurgh)

Idea: An AI-based parrot that would observe communications between a salesperson or customer service person and a client and help "grease the wheels" of communication. For example, by repeating ("parroting") what the salesperson just said but with less jargon, by being a language/culture translator, by interjecting humor if the interaction is becoming toxic, by interpreting body language to detect if someone is confused, etc. Also: it could have a "talk out loud mode" where the salesperson and client can both hear it, and a "whispering mode" where it speaks into an earpiece of the salesman (example: "Psst, I don't think he knows what a car wrap is"); it could learn from sales mistakes and remind you later (if a similar client shows up or a similar situation arises) to not repeat the same mistake, and also pass that learned knowledge onto other salespeople (especially rookies); it could have a "lie offload mode" for situations such as when your boss is encouraging you to up-sell to clients who don't really need it but you're morally opposed to ripping them off yourself (in which case, the parrot would do it instead) Matt TerBurgh (instagram.com/terburghmatt youtube.com/@mattterburghcomedy facebook.com/mattterburgh) Eileen Nolton (instagram.com/evnoltoncomedy facebook.com/enolton) Chris Young (https://chrisyoungcomic.com instagram.com/chrisyoungcomic) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
