Yandong Liu, Co-Founder & CTO at Connectly – Interview Series

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/yandong-liu-co-founder-cto-at-connectly-interview-series/

Yandong Liu, Co-Founder & CTO at Connectly – Interview Series

Yandong Liu is the Co-founder and CTO at Connectly.ai. He previously worked at Strava as a CTO. Yandong Liu attended Carnegie Mellon University.

Founded in 2021, Connectly is the leader in conversational artificial intelligence (AI). Using proprietary AI models, Connectly’s platform automates how businesses communicate with their customers and sell their products across any messaging platform. Connectly enables the entire customer journey – from sales and marketing to customer experience and support – to be conducted within the customer’s preferred messaging platform.

Can you share the genesis story behind Connectly?

Connectly was born from the vision of becoming the leader in conversational AI. My co-founder, Stefanos, and I met through a mutual friend in the founder community and bonded over a shared passion for the future of messaging. With my background leading technology teams at Strava and Uber and Stefanos’s experience overseeing Facebook Messenger, we set out to create the AI-powered infrastructure of the future, helping businesses make the most of their customer messages in an increasingly complex ecosystem.

What exactly are Small Language Models (SLMs), and how do they differ from Large Language Models (LLMs)?

SLMs are AI models designed to understand and generate human language but with fewer parameters and computational requirements compared to Large Language Models. In the context of AI marketing solutions for messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram, SLMs provide faster response times and can be easily deployed on a variety of devices, making them ideal for real-time customer interactions. Their smaller size allows for efficient performance without compromising the quality of responses.

Can you discuss how SLMs reduce the likelihood of hallucinations and improve the reliability of AI responses?

SLMs reduce the likelihood of hallucinations—instances where AI generates incorrect or nonsensical information—by focusing on a smaller, more manageable set of parameters. For AI-messaging based marketing solutions, this focused approach ensures more predictable and reliable responses, enhancing customer trust and engagement. The reduced complexity of SLMs minimizes the chances of generating off-topic or erroneous content, thereby improving the overall reliability of AI interactions.

Can you explain why SLMs are particularly beneficial for retailers, especially in the context of chatbots?

Due to the large amounts of data LLMs are fed with, they are often slow. However, messaging and conversational commerce require a faster response time in order to better and more accurately serve customers. For retailers, SLMs are more practical and beneficial due to the level of detail they can provide in the retail industry. Additionally, SLMs are often cheaper because they are more agile, meaning every retail company, from a small startup to a big online retailer, can utilize them.

How do SLMs offer more personalized experiences for customers compared to LLMs?

SLMs offer more personalized experiences for customers by being easier to fine-tune for specific tasks and domains. Their smaller size allows for quicker and more efficient customization, enabling businesses to tailor the models to the unique needs and preferences of their customers. This focused customization results in more relevant and personalized interactions, enhancing the customer experience.

How does Connectly integrate SLMs into its platform to enhance e-commerce capabilities?

We integrate SLMs into our platform to enhance e-commerce capabilities by leveraging their efficiency and adaptability. These models enable quick and accurate customer interactions on messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram, providing personalized product recommendations and instant customer support. The lightweight nature of SLMs ensures that responses are fast and relevant, improving the overall customer experience and driving engagement.

What are some specific examples of how retailers have successfully implemented SLMs in their operations?

Our clients are having great success with SLMs. A fashion retailer is using SLMs to provide personalized styling advice through WhatsApp, recommending outfits based on the customer’s previous purchases and preferences. Similarly, an electronics retailer deployed SLMs on Instagram to answer customer queries about product features and availability in real time, enhancing the shopping experience and reducing the load on customer service teams.

Why should retailers consider transitioning from LLMs to SLMs for their specific business applications?

Retailers should consider transitioning from LLMs to SLMs for their specific business applications due to the increased efficiency and cost-effectiveness of SLMs. SLMs are faster, require less computational power, and can be easily fine-tuned for specific tasks, making them ideal for real-time customer interactions on messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram. This transition can lead to more responsive and personalized customer service while reducing operational costs.

What future advancements in SLM technology are you most excited about?

I’m most excited about advancements in SLM technology that will further enhance their efficiency and accuracy. For instance, improvements in transfer learning and fine-tuning techniques will allow SLMs to become even more adept at specific tasks with minimal data. Additionally, the integration of SLMs with multimodal capabilities—combining text, voice, and image data—will enable richer and more interactive customer experiences on platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram. These advancements will make SLMs even more valuable for retailers looking to provide personalized and engaging customer interactions.

How do you see the adoption of SLMs evolving in the next few years within the retail industry?

 I see the adoption of SLMs in the retail industry growing significantly. As retailers continue to seek more efficient and cost-effective ways to engage with customers, the speed and adaptability of SLMs will become increasingly valuable. SLMs will be integrated more widely into customer service platforms, marketing campaigns, and personalized shopping experiences on messaging apps like WhatsApp and Instagram, even on TikTok. This shift will help retailers provide quicker, more personalized interactions, enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Thank you for the great interview, readers who wish to learn more should visit Connectly.

As Alibaba continues to expand its influence internationally, this collaboration could provide Connectly with unparalleled access to a diverse audience, enhancing the overall effectiveness of its technology. In the past year alone, Connectly has seen significant growth, which can be attributed not only to its innovative technology but also to its proactive approach to understanding market dynamics and the needs of retailers. With a current client base of 300, Connectly is on track to grow its workforce to 80 by the end of the year, reflecting its rapid expansion and the confidence investors have in its business model.

With the rising trend of online shopping, tools that facilitate effective communication between brands and consumers are more essential than ever. Connectly is stepping into this gap, providing solutions that are becoming indispensable in the modern retail toolkit. In conclusion, as Connectly embarks on this new chapter backed by significant funding and strategic partnerships, the company is set to enhance the customer engagement landscape. By focusing on AI innovation and expanding its operations in key markets, Connectly illustrates a robust growth strategy that not only seeks to meet current market demands but also emphasizes long-term sustainability and success.

Joscha Koepke, Head of Product at Connectly – Interview Series

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/joscha-koepke-head-of-product-at-connectly-interview-series/

Joscha Koepke, Head of Product at Connectly – Interview Series

Joscha Koepke, is the Head of Product at Connectly, a code-free platform that lets you create campaigns and interactive bots to easily automate two-way conversations – to both leads and loyal customers – at scale.

Connectly has a vision is to create the AI-powered infrastructure of the future to make this as easy as possible; enabling businesses to operate the full flywheel – marketing, sales, transactions, customer experience -all within the customer’s thread of choice.

What initially attracted you to computer science and AI?

My path to the tech industry, and product management in particular, took a bit of an unconventional turn. Initially, I was immersed in the world of product development within the hair care sector. There was something incredibly rewarding about diving deep into human needs and mastering the art of user-centric design. However, I found myself yearning for a more dynamic environment, which led me to embark on a nearly decade-long journey at Google.

Starting in sales, I gained invaluable insights into customer pain points and the intricacies of building relationships. This experience laid the groundwork for my transition into a product role within the Ads organization.

I’ve always believed that life and career are punctuated by moments that challenge us to choose between safety and risk. Joining Connectly was my leap into the unknown—a decision fueled by the thrill of building something from the ground up. As the fourth employee, armed with little more than a vision and a few PowerPoint slides, I stepped into a journey of immense growth and learning.

You described the challenges of moving to the earliest stages of a startup as being akin to a constant roller coaster traveling at hyperdrive while being thrashed around by a big wave. What was it that attracted you to the hectic lifestyle of startup life?

What initially attracted me to the startup life was the accelerated pace, continuous demands, and the constrained resources and data for decision-making. Recognizing the startup journey as a marathon filled with sprints has been crucial in my experience. There were days I felt on top of the world and others where the path forward was murky at best. Embracing this dynamic, understanding that each day brings its own set of challenges and opportunities has been key. This perspective helped me and Connectly as a whole navigate through uncertain times, especially when we were refining our product-market fit, allowing us to adapt and evolve swiftly. Startups usually do not die because of competition but because of a lack of resilience and focus.

In this same article you also referenced the importance of first principles thinking, what are some ways that first principles are applied at Connectly?

Product Principle 1: Action Provides Information: It’s easy to sit in a room and intellectualize about possible learnings and assumptions (we have spent days doing this), and it’s a trap Product Managers easily fall into. Every experiment we have launched with real customers, regardless of how small, has provided us with more learnings than any theoretical approach. Before any test or launch, we define a set of hypotheses, and every action becomes an experiment. The results, whether they are a success or failure, provide clearer direction for our next steps.

Putting our “First Principles” lens on, we seek foundational data instead of making assumptions or relying on second-hand knowledge. By taking action, we gather this primary information, allowing us to base decisions on direct experience rather than hearsay or theory.

Product Principle 2: Think Big, Start Small: By starting small, with a singular feature or a specific market niche, we can validate our assumptions, refine our approach, and progressively inch closer to our overarching vision. At Connectly, our mission is to automate every sales conversation with AI. But, to avoid being overwhelmed and to ensure consistent forward momentum, we narrow down our focus.

Putting our “First Principles” lens on, we strip Connectly’s product down to its fundamental purpose, which is to solve the needs of a user who requires help in their purchase decision. While our end goal is vast (automating all sales conversations), we begin by addressing a singular, fundamental need (advising a customer interested in buying a white t-shirt). As we validate and learn from this, we can expand, but always stay grounded in the essential truths we’ve uncovered.

Product Principle 3: Simplify Our Customers’ Lives: Our commitment at Connectly is to have every feature we roll out to make interactions more effortless for businesses and end consumers. By constantly asking, “How does this simplify the user journey?” we ensure that our product stays aligned with the needs and desires of our users.

Putting our “First Principles” lens on, we’re prompted to ask: “What is the most direct way we can provide this value?” For example, we noticed an increased usage of our campaign tool via API. We previously directed customers to our API documentation. However, after employing first principles to identify the most straightforward value-add, we integrated a ‘copy’ button within our campaign flowbuilder.

Can you briefly discuss how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is being used at Connectly to design a conversational sales bot?

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is one part of our AI architecture. We have also trained our own models and embeddings that perform better than the benchmark, especially in the multilingual product embedding space. A great conversational sales bot needs access to almost real-time information like stock availability and price updates. This is where RAG comes into play to connect our bot with product catalogs.

How have AI chatbots evolved to better understand and adapt to human language nuances, transforming from mere tools to active partners in digital experiences?

As Connectly’s Head of Product, I’ve observed the transformation of chatbots into proactive, learning agents. These chatbots autonomously perform actions, replicate human decision-making, and learn from interactions. A key development is their enhanced ability to understand human language with greater nuance, thanks to advances in natural language processing and large language models.

Can you elaborate on the ways AI chatbots are becoming integral team members across various industries and the implications for human-AI interaction dynamics?

AI chatbots that are becoming integral team members across industries go beyond mere query responses; they adapt their interactions and have the ability to re-prompt during sales conversations, where the chatbot uses its extensive product catalog knowledge to guide customers through targeted follow-up questions. This method narrows down options effectively, finding the ideal product for the customer’s specific needs. For example, if a customer is looking for a t-shirt, the chatbot would prompt questions like “Is this t-shirt for you or someone else? Do you have a price range and color preference in mind?” mirroring a skilled salesperson’s approach by following a sequence of ideas or steps to solve complex recommendations and answer questions.

How do you see the role of AI chatbots evolving in terms of autonomous decision-making and learning from human interactions?

Mature AI chatbots will be able to seamlessly transition from selling and recommending products in Brazil or California (environmental adaptation) to making decisions on which product SKUs to recommend (decision-making) and improve the sales conversation after receiving pushback or not being able to sell a product (learning).

At Connectly, we’re exploring game-like scenarios for learning, where chatbots engage in simulated conversations to improve their strategies, akin to role-plays in sales training. This continuous learning and adaptation are crucial for successfully deploying and distributing chatbots.

What is your vision for the future of chatbots?

Looking ahead, we anticipate improvements in emotional intelligence, particularly in a multimodal world where AI can interpret emotions from tone and facial expressions. With ongoing hardware innovations and advancement topics like memory from an AI will become a lot more achievable in the near future. This will truly allow for personal shopping AI bots that know your style and preferences over time and can remember what you like and dislike.

For readers who are interested, could you give a brief summary of what Connectly offers with its AI-Powered Marketing Automation Flowbuilder?

Connectly uses proprietary AI models to help businesses automate their communications with their customers and see their products from any messaging platform. Its code-free platform lets you create campaigns and interactive mini-bots to automate two-way conversations – to both leads and loyal customers – easily and at scale.

Isn’t it interesting that there is no accepted word (in English) for the opposite of “loneliness”? Therefore, I feel a need to make one up: “CONNECTLINESS”!🤓❤️ (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
