The document discusses the design of text-free user interfaces for non-literate users. It describes an ethnographic design process involving 450 subjects across India, Philippines, and South Africa. Key design principles included minimizing text, using numbers, hand-drawn cartoons, voice annotations in local languages, and video demonstrations. Usability tests found that non-literate first-time users strongly preferred and were able to meaningfully navigate text-free interfaces compared to standard text-based interfaces.

How do Chatbots Work? A Guide to Chatbot ArchitectureMaruti Techlabs
We’d all agree that chatbots have been around for some time now. The initial apprehension that people had towards the usability of chatbots has faded away. Chatbots have become more of a necessity now for companies big and small to scale their customer support and automate lead generation.
According to a Facebook survey, more than 50% of consumers choose to buy from a company they can contact via chat. Chatbots are rapidly gaining popularity with both brands and consumers due to their ease of use and reduced wait times.
Intelligent chatbots are already able to understand users’ questions from a given context and react appropriately. Combining immediate response and round-the-clock connectivity makes them an enticing way for brands to connect with their customers.
A chatbot can be defined as a developed program capable of having a discussion/conversation with a human. Any user might, for example, ask the bot a question or make a statement, and the bot would answer or perform an action as necessary. A chatbot communicates similarly to instant messaging.
Bots are made for a specific reason. A store would most likely want chatbot services that assists you in placing an order, while a telecom company will want to create a bot that can address customer service questions.
There are two categories of chatbots: one that works by following a series of rules, and another that uses artificial intelligence.
Chatbot architecture is the spine of the chatbot. The type of architecture for your chatbot depends on various factors like use-case, domain, chatbot type, etc. However, the basic conversation flow remains the same. Let us learn more about the critical components of chatbot architecture.

An Implementation of Voice Assistant for Hospitalitysipij
Voice user interface has gained popularity in the recent years. A chatbot is a machine with the ability to answer automatically through a conversational interface. Instead of using mouse and keyboards as input and screen as output, a chatbot with extra voice user interface feature improve the system and enhance the user experience. A chatbot is considered as one of the most exceptional and promising expressions of human computer interaction. Voice-based chatbots or artificial intelligence (AI) devices transform humancomputer bidirectional interactions that allow users to navigate an interactive voice response (IVR) system with their voice generally using natural language. In this paper, we focus on voice based chatbots for mediating interactions between hotels and guests from both the hospitality technology providers’ and guests’ perspectives. A hotel web application with voice user interface was implemented which provides voice input/output interface to enhance the user experience. Speech recognition component was used to dictate the user voice input to text. Speech synthesis API was used for text to voice conversion. A closed domain question answering (cdQA) Natural Language Processing (NLP) solution was used for processingof query and return the best answer possible.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
