Building the HeyMercedes voice assistant

Mihai Antonescu joins us to discuss the history of voice at Mercedes, the origins of the HeyMercedes voice assistant and the process for building it.

You’ll also learn tips and tricks that’ll help you put together your approach to creating your own assistant, as well as how to understand and measure the business value voice assistants can bring.

Mihai asked us before the show to challenge him with our questions, and we certainly hope we did.
