“For the first time ever, technology feels human.” ✨
At RISMedia's 38th Annual CEO & Leadership Exchange in Washington, D.C., our CEO Sean McRae joined John Featherston, Chris Kelly and Creig Northrop on stage for "Beyond the Chatbot: Transforming the Agent and Consumer Experience." 🎤
Live in the room, two synthetic humans answered questions from the panel and the audience in real time. One was JackAI, RISMedia's new coaching lead. The other was Mae from HomeServices of America. RELIANCEai powers both, in partnership with AREIA Synthetics and RISMedia. 🤝
As Sean put it, "We're just getting started." 🚀

According to AI architect Ben Silva, synthetic human technology “will make mediocre agents good agents. It will make good agents great agents, and it will make great agents unbelievable agents.”
