SummaryEvery business develops their own specific workflows to address their internal organizational needs. Not all of them are properly documented, or even visible. Workflow automation tools have tried to reduce the manual burden involved, but they are rigid and require substantial investment of time to discover and develop the routines. Boaz Hecht co-founded 8Flow to iteratively discover and automate pieces of workflows, bringing visibility and collaboration to the internal organizational processes that keep the business running.AnnouncementsHello and welcome to the Machine Learning Podcast, the podcast about machine learning and how to bring it from idea to delivery.Your host is Tobias Macey and today I'm interviewing Boaz Hecht about using AI to automate customer support at 8FlowInterviewIntroductionHow did you get involved in machine learning?Can you describe what 8Flow is and the story behind it?How does 8Flow compare to RPA tools that companies are using today? What are the opportunities for augmenting or integrating with RPA frameworks?What are the key selling points for the solution that you are building?
