Old Fashioned

Fandom: Hazbin Hotel

Pairing: Vox x Reader

Type: Headcanons

Featuring: Alastor, Rosie

C/TW: Stalking, Swearing, mentions of porn, use of (y/n)

In which Vox could go full stalker mode on his crush, Reader, but reader doesn’t use much technology and avoids VoxTek appliances.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ I personally headcanon that Vox, while yes can use any technology to his advantage, only VoxTek products can give him full advantage of his powers.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Which is infuriating when on his cameras, he spotted you using your phone and was confused on why he couldn’t easily hack into it. He couldn’t get into it. What the fuck?

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ It wasn’t until he spotted you again some time later in some tech store looking at some phone cases. He watched as you pealed your old phone case off, revealing a phone that was not a VoxTek phone.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ No; it was a rival companies. Not quite as rich and empowering as VoxTek, but still a rival company nonetheless.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ He hates that company.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ They even started out doing some of his own sales just days after release.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Well that’s just great. But not a total loss. Perhaps he could get his advertisement team to push for more advertisements on well, anything and everything.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Over the next several days he tried that before realizing he has no way to check if it’s you know, reaching you

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Why? Because you don’t even have a TV in your place! Which he found through following you on his cameras around Pride

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ “What person in todays world doesn’t have a television?” He grits through his teeth, starring at your door through a security camera

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Well you apparently and he found out through an online web forum or comment section, whatever suits your fancy, you used one night

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ “I don’t really have a use for a tv” something along those lines

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Through some more stalking and hacking he was finally able to get somewhere. Not through any appliance unfortunately, but you had fortunately downloaded a thing which had a VoxTek bug attached to it. Success!!

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ He was able to hack the phone, not to its fullest potential but still enough for now, and would have it on one of his monitors constantly. It’s here where he learned through your screen time in your phone settings that you hardly use the thing

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Occasionally he sees you’re active using it however, to which he’s quick to drop whatever it is he’s doing to you know, watch you do whatever it is you’re doing on your phone. It’s mildly annoying to those around him

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ But he can’t help it! Who do you text? Do you have a partner? Are you on dating apps? Do you watch porn and if so, which kind do you like?

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ He doesn’t really learn much, or as much and the specifics he’d like, but it’s something. Ah so this is the music you like to listen to whenever the radio isn’t playing it, huh? You have a few pictures… several notes in your notes app… some app to text only a small handful of people on occasion. He wonders if suddenly following you on the app would be too much.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ I mean, your account isn’t exactly anything special to the public eye per say. And even if it was, you certainly weren’t on it or gave much of a crap on it. So Vox’s suddenly millions and millions of followers on his account would probably raise some questions from you. But that would be good right? Maybe you’d shoot him a message asking why he followed you, and your relationship starts there! You can officially meet for the first time! Okay it would be through text but it still counts!

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ For this headcanons post, I’m keeping in mind that the reader is before the 2000’s time. So anywhere between the near start of hell to the 90’s lol

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Which if Vox found this out, he’d be a little confused. He died or relatively came around the 1950’s, he knew people from the 1930’/, who still use todays technology. Are you this much of an old soul to really not use anything like todays tech to your daily entertainment? And no—using the alarm doesn’t count!! He can’t even see you so…

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ You know how I said you avoid VoxTek appliances? Wanna know why?

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ “FUCKING ALASTOR!”

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Vox glitches out in a rage when on his cameras, he saw you sitting around a table with Rosie and Alastor.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ “Oh and I guess—FUCKING ROSIE—!” Hey he’s an inclusive guy.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Oh ho! So you’re acquainted with those two? The old fucks that even Zestial seems more youthful compared to at times. Vox curses out the two overlords further. Your acquaintances now making sense why you don’t use technology and specifically avoid Vox’s. Yeah. They’re definitely intentionally leading you away from anything VoxTek. And you seemed to have no issue with that? Wtf!?

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ “(Y/n) dear, I heard rumours that you were seeking a new place to call home. Might I ask how that’s going?” Alastor glitches out his cameras but it was doing for now, Vox grumbled.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ So you’re moving huh? Oh well. Vox isn’t particularly worried. He’s got cameras all over Pride. He’d be able to find your new home quickly and who knows, maybe it’ll be more convenient to stalk you then!

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ “Oh yes, Alastor! Rosie has been such a peach in helping me find a suitable place for me to move into. Why I’m quite proud to announce that I am now a home owner! No more little apartments for me.” You’d share a little snack with Rosie. That snack catering to your taste or hers is up to you.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Ah… a house. Okay apartment builders are required to have security cameras in their general areas and hallways so a house and if you’d even put up security cameras might cause some issue but still. Their would be cameras around your neighborhood or whatever, right? And you’d still have your phone on you so at least theirs still that for Vox to keep an eye on you—

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ “Darling, I’m so glad you finally decided to move into Cannibal Town!” Vox froze at Rosie’s words.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Cannibal Town? Fucking Cannibal Town?? Old 1920’s town with carcasses to feed off of at nearly every corner? Really?

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Vox barley has cameras in Cannibal Town! He has a few, hence why he can stalk your lunch session right now with Rosie and Alastor, but it’s one of the very few cameras he has up here. What was wrong with your old place?! Vox screams and you just so happen to conveniently answer—ah how nice.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ “My current apartment is less than desirable for my tastes. Too much loud obnoxious music, distasteful lyrics, horrendous billboards, flashing lights and way too much modern technology. Call me old but that Vee stuff really gives me a headache.”

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Vox swears that shit eating grin Alastor threw at seemingly nothing was thrown specifically at Vox in that moment.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Vox needs to meet you soon. Surely you’d fall in love with him. He was waiting for the perfect opportunity but you seem to just be getting further away the more he waits.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Just please don’t toss out your phone. That’s like the one modern thing you have. It’s all he has.

Guess who’s sleep schedule is (kind of) fixed and can actually start posting requests and general reader stuff on a moderately decent schedule?? Meeee

I got so much requests to work on (I encourage more to be sent though please I like having these things to work on) and I’m very excited to post more lol

The Hysterical Girls of St. Bernadette's by Hanna Alkaf Salaam Reads / Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

For over a hundred years, girls have fought to attend St. Bernadette’s, with its reputation for shaping only the best and brightest young women. Unfortunately, there is also the screaming. When a student begins to scream in the middle of class, a chain reaction starts that impacts the entire school. By the end of the day, seventeen girls are affected—along with St. Bernadette’s stellar reputation.

But when her sister falls to the screams, Khad knows she’s the only one who can save her. Rachel has always been far too occupied trying to reconcile her overbearing mother’s expectations with her own secret ambitions to pay attention to school antics. But just as Rachel finds her voice, it turns into screams. Together, the two girls find themselves digging deeper into the school’s dark history, hunting for the truth. Little do they know that a specter lurks in the darkness, watching, waiting, and hungry for its next victim…

Payal Mehta's Romance Revenge Plot by Preeti Chhibber Kokila

This laugh-out-loud debut romance introduces perfectly imperfect Payal Mehta, whose plan to get her long-time crush to finally notice her is destined for success, but only if she ignores her budding feelings for her archnemesis... Payal Mehta has had a crush on popular, athletic, all-around perfect Jonathan Slate ever since he smiled at her in freshman–year Spanish class. At a party during spring break of her junior year, Payal finally works up the courage to ask Jon to hang out. However, her romantic plans are derailed when he vomits on her Keds. Twice. But when Jon offers to take her out to lunch as an apology, Payal is convinced this is the start of their love story. Over chalupas and burritos at Taco Bell, Payal's best jokes are landing as planned. Jon is basically choking on his Coke—and then it happens. "Do you have a boyfriend?" Payal is (finally) about to get the guy. And then he tries to set her up with his Indian friend. Payal's best friends, Neil Patel and Divya Bhatt, are just as mad about the microaggression as Payal is, but they think she’s a little too hung up on him. Determined to teach Jon a lesson by making him fall for her, Payal ropes in her archnemesis, Philip Kim, to help by ceding creative control over their psych project. It’s the perfect plan. Minus Philip’s snarky, annoying quips and lack of faith in its success. But as Payal lies to the people she loves, hides the too-Indian parts of herself in front of her crush, and learns that maybe Philip isn't the worst, she starts to wonder if what she's been looking for has been scowling at her all along...

About LOL OMG

Note: This is my OWN personal analysis and thoughts. NOT fact, we have no confirmations about the state of LOL OMG by MGA.

So, it just set in that LOL OMG might be on its last legs/only have a few years left. Here's why I think this.

Lack of regular LOL OMG releases compared to earlier years of the brand and the shifted focus to the BTWs.

To be blunt, it's whiter. To the average doll fan this change might be unnoticeable but as a big lover of LOL OMG, it's hard for me not to notice. What once was around a 3/4 black/brown to white ratio is now a 1/4. Textured hair is still used but far less often. Less Black/Latino cultural references are being used in recent dolls. The leading character of the new Tween movie is white/pale skinned and has a white mentor. I'm worried that retailers are seeing the decrease in sales of LOL and pressuring the team at MGA to lighten their doll lineup. Maybe it's an order from the higher ups at MGA? Idk but taking away brown representation usually means bad things for a doll brand, especially one that was built on that rep in the first place.

Most obviously and largely, they recently lost 71 million dollars in a copyright lawsuit. I have heard some concerning stuff about the accusers but that is not my place to comment on. From a designer perspective, I personally think that whole case was absolute bull but that doesn't change the outcome...

LOL OMG has empowered me in a way no other doll brand has (not even G1 Monster High as a kid). The music, the main 4, the passion and wholesome message behind it all. It gave us representation at a level we had never seen before. If it can do that for me, I cannot imagine what it did for the kids, especially young girls, watching.

I am someone who believes that doll lines should not run past their time. There is a time for everything to end. I am just nervous that LOL OMG wouldn't get the proper send off it deserves. Or worse, that it won't get a worthy successor..

Just my thoughts.

The Chatty Moon Takes Charge: Business & Finances Under the Gemini Moon

Mercury’s swift messenger, the Gemini Moon, flits into action, bringing its signature blend of communication, adaptability, and intellectual curiosity to our business and financial endeavors. For some, this can be a period of booming ideas, quick deals, and fruitful networking. But beware, dear entrepreneurs, under the Gemini Moon’s changeable nature, things can shift faster than a Twitter trend. Buckle up and take notes, as we navigate the highs and lows of this lunar phase for your business and finances:

Prospering Under the Silver Tongue:

Communication Confidence: The Gemini Moon empowers clear and persuasive communication, making presentations, negotiations, and sales pitches flow effortlessly. Leverage this energy to connect with new clients, close deals, and strengthen existing partnerships.

Embrace the “Gift of Gab” under the Gemini Moon! This lunar phase imbues you with captivating clarity and persuasive charm, making sales pitches effortless and negotiations dance in your favor. Whether presenting to potential clients, striking deals, or fostering partnerships, tap into this cosmic fluency. Let your words weave magic, connecting hearts and closing deals with the persuasive power of a silver tongue. Seize the opportunity to build bridges and solidify trust, for under the Gemini Moon, communication becomes your secret weapon for business success.

Idea Powerhouse: Your mind buzzes with innovative solutions and marketing strategies. Brainstorm with your team, explore new collaborations, and experiment with unconventional approaches. Remember, the best ideas often appear when you least expect them!

Under the Gemini Moon’s electric influence, your mind becomes a vibrant marketplace of ideas! Innovative solutions and bold marketing strategies sprout like dandelions, urging you to break free from the conventional. Spark brainstorming sessions with your team, explore collaborations beyond your usual circles, and embrace unconventional approaches. Remember, the most ingenious solutions often bloom unexpectedly, so stay open to those “aha!” moments that pop up while sipping coffee or taking a shower. This is your chance to think outside the box and unleash your inner inventor, igniting innovation for your business!

Network Ninja: This is your prime time to connect and expand your professional network. Attend industry events, join online communities, and reach out to potential collaborators. The Gemini Moon favors quick connections and information exchange, so be open and adaptable.

Sharpen your social butterfly wings, for under the Gemini Moon, networking becomes your superpower! Industry events, online communities, and even casual conversations transform into fertile grounds for expanding your professional circle. Don’t be shy — strike up conversations, join discussions, and connect with open-minded individuals. The Gemini Moon favors quick, information-rich interactions, so be adaptable and receptive to unexpected connections. Remember, a casual chat today could spark a fruitful collaboration tomorrow. Seize this lunar window to weave a web of valuable connections and watch your network blossom like a vibrant garden!

Navigating the Gemini Moon’s Fickle Phases:

Scattered Energy: The Gemini Moon’s flitting nature can lead to multitasking mayhem. Prioritize your tasks, set clear deadlines, and avoid jumping from one project to another without finishing anything. Focus on quality over quantity.

While the Gemini Moon fuels your multi-tasking engine, beware of becoming a scattered squirrel hopping from branch to branch! Its flitting nature can lure you into juggling too many projects, leaving them all half-baked. To avoid this productivity purgatory, prioritize ruthlessly. Define clear deadlines for each task, and resist the urge to jump ship at the first shiny new idea. Remember, scattered efforts yield mediocre results. Channel the Moon’s mental agility into focused sprints, conquering one task at a time with laser-sharp efficiency. Quality over quantity — that’s the mantra for navigating this lunar phase without succumbing to multitasking mania!

Impulsive Spending: The chatty Moon loves gadgets and trends, making you susceptible to impulse purchases. Stick to your budget, research before buying, and avoid shiny object syndrome. Remember, long-term financial stability is more valuable than fleeting fads.

Hold onto your wallets, for the silver tongue of the Gemini Moon can seduce you with the latest trends and must-have gadgets. Remember, its chatty nature thrives on novelty, tempting you with impulse purchases that might leave your bank account singing the blues. Don’t let “shiny object syndrome” lure you astray! Stick to your budget like a mantra, research thoroughly before clicking “buy,” and resist the urge to splurge on fleeting fads. Remember, long-term financial stability is infinitely more valuable than momentary thrills. Think of it as an investment in your future success — say “no” to the impulse and “yes” to financial security!

Overpromising, Underdelivering: Enthusiasm is great, but don’t overestimate your abilities under the Gemini Moon’s influence. Be specific about your commitments, manage expectations, and deliver on your promises to maintain trust and credibility.

The Gemini Moon’s energetic spark can fuel your enthusiasm, but be cautious of outpacing your capabilities. Don’t let its fast-talking charm lead to overpromising! Remember, under this lunar influence, it’s easy to underestimate the time and resources needed. Be specific about your commitments, managing expectations realistically. Overestimating your abilities can erode trust and credibility. Delivering on your promises, even if it means scaling back or adjusting timelines, is key to navigating this transit with integrity. Remember, slow and steady wins the race, especially under the ever-shifting influence of the Gemini Moon.

Tips for Taming the Moon’s Mercurial Energy:

Plan, Prioritize, Execute: Before diving into the whirlwind of ideas, create a clear plan of action with defined priorities. Focus on completing one task at a time to avoid the scatterbrained blues.

Before surrendering to the whirlwind of the Gemini Moon’s ideas, channel your inner architect and draft a clear blueprint for action! Define distinct priorities, like pillars holding up your plan. Resist the siren song of multitasking and instead, focus on tackling one project at a time with laser-sharp concentration. Remember, scattered efforts under the Moon’s changeable nature lead to unfinished business and scattered blues. Prioritization becomes your mantra, ensuring each task receives the dedicated attention it deserves. So, grab your pen, map out your priorities, and execute with focused determination — that’s the recipe for success under the ever-shifting lunar tides!

Collaborate & Communicate: Partner with others who can provide balance and different perspectives. Communicate openly and honestly to avoid misunderstandings and ensure everyone is on the same page.

The Gemini Moon thrives on connection, so don’t go it alone! Partner with individuals who offer diverse perspectives, acting as anchors to your whirlwind of ideas. Open and honest communication becomes your bridge, ensuring everyone stays on the same page and misunderstandings don’t derail your progress. Embrace the Moon’s collaborative spirit, leveraging the strengths of your team to tackle challenges from different angles. Remember, two minds (or more!) are better than one, especially under the ever-shifting influence of the Gemini Moon. So, build bridges, foster open dialogue, and watch your projects soar to new heights through the power of collaboration!

Research & Reflect: Don’t let enthusiasm cloud your judgment. Before making important decisions, research thoroughly and take time for introspection. Use the Moon’s analytical side to weigh pros and cons carefully.

Under the Gemini Moon’s intoxicating energy, enthusiasm might mask potential pitfalls. Before diving headfirst into decisions, don’t let excitement overpower reason. Tap into the Moon’s analytical side! Conduct thorough research, examining details and potential challenges with a critical eye. Don’t skip the due diligence — every angle deserves exploration. Take time for introspection, considering your gut feelings and weighing pros and cons carefully. Remember, informed decisions pave the way for success, and under the Gemini Moon, a balanced approach is your key to navigating enthusiasm without compromising wisdom. So, research, reflect, and make choices that empower your future, not just fuel a fleeting impulse.

Remember, dear business owners, the Gemini Moon is a double-edged sword. By harnessing its positive energy while mitigating its pitfalls, you can navigate this transit to propel your business forward and create lasting success. So, put on your thinking cap, sharpen your communication skills, and network like a pro — the universe of opportunities awaits under the silver sheen of the Gemini Moon!

Strengthen Brand Identity and Fuel Creativity with Sales Quoting Software

For value-added resellers in the IT and office supplies sector, creating a strong brand identity is indispensable. A brand identity not only sets a company apart from its competitors but also fosters trust and loyalty among customers.

However, maintaining a consistent brand image while striving for innovation can be a challenging task. This is where sales quoting software steps in to streamline processes, enhance brand identity, and fuel creativity. The business sales quoting software serves as a comprehensive solution for value-added resellers (VARs) to generate accurate quotes quickly and efficiently.

However its benefits extend beyond mere sales operations; it can play a pivotal role in reinforcing brand identity and fostering creativity within an organization. Here's how:

Consistency in Brand Messaging

A cohesive brand identity is built upon consistent messaging across all customer touchpoints. Sales quoting software allows businesses to incorporate branded templates, logos, and messaging into every quote, ensuring that the brand identity remains consistent throughout the sales process. This consistency reinforces brand recognition and strengthens the brand's overall image in the eyes of customers.

Personalization

While consistency is key, personalization is equally important for connecting with customers on a deeper level. A business quote generator enables businesses to tailor quotes to each customer's specific needs and preferences. By incorporating personalized elements such as customer names, relevant product recommendations, and customized pricing options, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to providing personalized experiences, thus enhancing brand loyalty.

Streamlined Workflows

Creativity thrives in environments where processes are streamlined and efficient. The software that has connections with Cisco Direct data feed automates repetitive tasks such as data entry, pricing calculations, and quote generation, allowing sales teams to focus their time and energy on more creative endeavors, such as crafting compelling sales pitches and developing innovative solutions to meet customer needs.

Data-Driven Insights

Creativity flourishes when fueled by insights and feedback. Sales quoting tools connected to catalog management solutions provide valuable data and analytics on quote performance, customer preferences, and sales trends. By leveraging these insights, businesses can identify areas for improvement, uncover new opportunities, and fine-tune their sales strategies to better resonate with their target audience, ultimately fostering a culture of continuous innovation.

Collaboration and Communication

Effective collaboration is essential for unleashing creativity within an organization. This software system integrated with catalog solutions software facilitates seamless collaboration among sales teams, marketing departments, and other stakeholders involved in the quoting process. Features such as real-time updates, commenting, and version control ensure that everyone is on the same page, fostering a collaborative environment where ideas can flow freely and innovation can thrive.

Brand Differentiation

In a crowded marketplace, standing out from the competition is crucial. Sales quoting tools that have built-in connections with the Cisco catalog empower businesses to differentiate themselves by offering unique value propositions, showcasing their expertise, and highlighting the benefits of their products or services in a visually compelling manner. By effectively communicating their brand's unique selling points through quotes, businesses can carve out a distinct identity in the minds of customers.

Sales quoting software is not just a tool for generating quotes; it is a powerful asset for strengthening brand identity and fueling creativity within an organization. By ensuring consistency in brand messaging, enabling personalization, streamlining workflows, providing data-driven insights, fostering collaboration, and facilitating brand differentiation, sales quoting software empowers businesses to elevate their brand image, engage customers more effectively, and drive innovation forward.

As businesses continue to navigate an ever-evolving marketplace, investing in this software application is not just a wise decision; it's a strategic imperative for success in the digital age.

Aible And Google Cloud: Gen AI Models Sets Business Security

Enterprise controls and generative AI for business users in real time.

Aible

With solutions for customer acquisition, churn avoidance, demand prediction, preventive maintenance, and more, Aible is a pioneer in producing business impact from AI in less than 30 days. Teams can use AI to extract company value from raw enterprise data. Previously using BigQuery’s serverless architecture to save analytics costs, Aible is now working with Google Cloud to provide users the confidence and security to create, train, and implement generative AI models on their own data.

The following important factors have surfaced as market awareness of generative AI’s potential grows:

Enabling enterprise-grade control

Businesses want to utilize their corporate data to allow new AI experiences, but they also want to make sure they have control over their data to prevent unintentional usage of it to train AI models.

Reducing and preventing hallucinations

The possibility that models may produce illogical or non-factual information is another particular danger associated with general artificial intelligence.

Empowering business users

Enabling and empowering business people to utilize gen AI models with the least amount of hassle is one of the most beneficial use cases, even if gen AI supports many enterprise use cases.

Scaling use cases for gen AI

Businesses need a method for gathering and implementing their most promising use cases at scale, as well as for establishing standardized best practices and controls.

Regarding data privacy, policy, and regulatory compliance, the majority of enterprises have a low risk tolerance. However, given its potential to drive change, they do not see postponing the deployment of Gen AI as a feasible solution to market and competitive challenges. As a consequence, Aible sought an AI strategy that would protect client data while enabling a broad range of corporate users to swiftly adapt to a fast changing environment.

In order to provide clients complete control over how their data is used and accessed while creating, training, or optimizing AI models, Aible chose to utilize Vertex AI, Google Cloud’s AI platform.

Enabling enterprise-grade controls 

Because of Google Cloud’s design methodology, users don’t need to take any more steps to ensure that their data is safe from day one. Google Cloud tenant projects immediately benefit from security and privacy thanks to Google AI products and services. For example, protected customer data in Cloud Storage may be accessed and used by Vertex AI Agent Builder, Enterprise Search, and Conversation AI. Customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) can be used to further safeguard this data.

With Aible‘s Infrastructure as Code methodology, you can quickly incorporate all of Google Cloud’s advantages into your own applications. Whether you choose open models like LLama or Gemma, third-party models like Anthropic and Cohere, or Google gen AI models like Gemini, the whole experience is fully protected in the Vertex AI Model Garden.

In order to create a system that may activate third-party gen AI models without disclosing private data outside of Google Cloud, Aible additionally collaborated with its client advisory council, which consists of Fortune 100 organizations. Aible merely transmits high-level statistics on clusters which may be hidden if necessary instead of raw data to an external model. For instance, rather of transmitting raw sales data, it may communicate counts and averages depending on product or area.

This makes use of k-anonymity, a privacy approach that protects data privacy by never disclosing information about groups of people smaller than k. You may alter the default value of k; the more private the information transmission, the higher the k value. Aible makes the data transmission even more secure by changing the names of variables like “Country” to “Variable A” and values like “Italy” to “Value X” when masking is used.

Mitigating hallucination risk

It’s crucial to use grounding, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), and other strategies to lessen and lower the likelihood of hallucinations while employing gen AI. Aible, a partner of Built with Google Cloud AI, offers automated analysis to support human-in-the-loop review procedures, giving human specialists the right tools that can outperform manual labor.

Using its auto-generated Information Model (IM), an explainable AI that verifies facts based on the context contained in your structured corporate data at scale and double checks gen AI replies to avoid making incorrect conclusions, is one of the main ways Aible helps eliminate hallucinations.

Hallucinations are addressed in two ways by Aible’s Information Model:

It has been shown that the IM helps lessen hallucinations by grounding gen AI models on a relevant subset of data.

To verify each fact, Aible parses through the outputs of Gen AI and compares them to millions of responses that the Information Model already knows.

This is comparable to Google Cloud’s Vertex AI grounding features, which let you link models to dependable information sources, like as your company’s papers or the Internet, to base replies in certain data sources. A fact that has been automatically verified is shown in blue with the words “If it’s blue, it’s true.” Additionally, you may examine a matching chart created only by the Information Model and verify a certain pattern or variable.

The graphic below illustrates how Aible and Google Cloud collaborate to provide an end-to-end serverless environment that prioritizes artificial intelligence. Aible can analyze datasets of any size since it leverages BigQuery to efficiently analyze and conduct serverless queries across millions of variable combinations. One Fortune 500 client of Aible and Google Cloud, for instance, was able to automatically analyze over 75 datasets, which included 150 million questions and answers with 100 million rows of data. That assessment only cost $80 in total.

Aible may also access Model Garden, which contains Gemini and other top open-source and third-party models, by using Vertex AI. This implies that Aible may use AI models that are not Google-generated while yet enjoying the advantages of extra security measures like masking and k-anonymity.

All of your feedback, reinforcement learning, and Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) data are safely stored in your Google Cloud project and are never accessed by Aible.

In a world of hustle culture and endless options, the path to success is paved with simplicity. This journey has taught me that the basics matter most, and every entrepreneur can benefit from going back to fundamentals.

Cutting Through the Noise

With election season, daylight savings, and constant digital marketing updates, there’s so much that can distract us. ✨ This year, I made a choice to focus on simplicity and clarity in my business. From tweaking morning routines to prioritizing essential tasks, the journey has been about stripping away unnecessary noise and honing in on what matters.

We’ve dialed in processes, optimized sales calls, and made the commitment to providing top-quality service to our clients. 📈 This simplicity has provided both clarity and stability, enabling the team to focus on delivering exceptional results without getting bogged down by shiny new trends.

Redefining Success Beyond Vanity Metrics

Social media often tricks us into thinking that likes, followers, and superficial metrics are indicators of success. But in business, real success is about what you bring to the table. 🌟 As someone who’s grown a team and built a system for success, I’ve seen the impact of having a solid foundation. Many influencers lack this, focusing more on looking successful than being successful. Real entrepreneurship is about staying in your lane, prioritizing meaningful relationships, and continuously improving your core operations.

Building Your Path

Whether you’re an early-stage entrepreneur or years into your journey, the path to success is about focusing on your unique mission. The biggest lesson from this journey? Stay the course. Your goals, your values, and your vision should be your guiding lights. 🌅 Be intentional about where you invest time and energy, and don’t be afraid to turn away from distractions that don’t serve your long-term vision.

When you focus on building a business that serves its customers, empowers its team, and aligns with your personal values, success will follow. Keep it simple, stay true to yourself, and enjoy the journey. 🌍

Maximizing Value in Private Equity – How Comprehensive Support Services Drive Operational Excellence 

Top private equity (PE) firms are known to be experts at finding undervalued companies and bringing strategic improvements to them for business enrichment. Later, PE firms sell those remarkably transformed organizations for a higher value. However, this approach has little to do with the “buying low and selling high” principle. 

Instead, it depends on the actual creation of operational improvement that is real and sustainable within the portfolio companies to empower and enable them to succeed. This post aims to explain in detail how comprehensive support services drive operational excellence by maximizing value in private equity investments.  

The Need for Operational Excellence in Private Equity 

Operational excellence means the ability of a company to deliver products or services in a way that is highly efficiency, least waste-generating, and quality standard compliant. Even though operational excellence is non-negotiable in unlocking value for private equity players, the competitive marketplace now suggests that PE firms must go beyond conventional financial engineering and risk forecasting to achieve results. 

Private equity firms often focus on improving the operational efficiency of their portfolio companies via significant management overhauls and automated workflows for strategy-driven initiatives. Refinements in operations by private equity outsourcing services enhance every company’s overall profitability and scalability. It essentially makes the value of the business go up, which would ultimately result in better returns after selling. 

Such specific strategies for idea implementation ensure the proper and time-bound transformation of a business and require the best team possessing specialized knowledge and tools. As a result, hunting for the best talent equipped with excellent financial technology credentials becomes mandatory. Still, if you struggle with talent acquisition, it might be time to seek reliable, comprehensive support services to conduct business enrichment campaigns in a well-planned manner. 

What Are Comprehensive Support Services in Private Equity? 

Today, you will encounter a broad range of comprehensive support services, which are distinguished by specific functions within portfolio companies with a potential for impressive operational excellence. Such services can be provided in-house by a diverse, multidisciplinary team or through third-party providers, such as external consultants. 

Most comprehensive PE assistance programs typically comprise strategy determination, human resource management, digital transformation, multipronged investment research, supply chain optimization, sales tracking, and marketing effectiveness. 

How Do Comprehensive Support Services Drive Operational Excellence by Maximizing Private Equity Value? 

1| Identification of Operational Inefficiencies   

Intricate PE and business enrichment support will enable private equity firms to conduct a more detailed analysis of their portfolio companies. The analysis may involve financial audits and operational diagnostics that identify cost-saving ideas, process optimization opportunities, and productivity gain hacks. 

2| Tailor-Made Improvement Plans 

In private equity firms, once inefficiencies are diagnosed, they use comprehensive support services tailored to each company’s specific needs, market circumstances, and fundamental activities that contribute the most to its future performance. Whether it is technology systems, supply chain optimization, or improving customer service, the aim of such arrangements is to bring about sustainable improvements in value creation over time. 

3| Accelerating Value in Operations 

In the high-velocity private equity environment, time is money. Comprehensive support services allow private equity firms to fast-track the deployment of operational modification endeavors, reducing the period between policy revisions, company-wide implementation, and value capture. 

At the same time, third-party consultants may be hired to analyze and quickly transform the way a firm “buys within the firms,” meaning acquiring other commercial entities, with the intention of immediately reaping cost savings. 

4| Innovation and Digital Transformation 

To foster innovation and digital transformation, many private equity firms are embracing comprehensive support services as an operational excellence catalyst. It is not surprising because many support providers nourish many uniquely skilled fintech veterans and strategy experts. 

They can be called in to assist portfolio companies in the digitalization of anything and everything. Their innovative tech also ranges from predictive data analytics to customer engagement tracking tools. Using them will make companies much more agile and responsive. Therefore, they will be better equipped to face future challenges due to industry disruptions. 

Conclusion 

The days when standard statistical models and generic job responsibilities would be enough to deliver above-the-average returns in private equity are over. As a result, private equity firms must drive operational excellence within portfolio companies, maximizing value via novel fintech adoption campaigns. Otherwise, they cannot achieve consistent results and recreate past successes. 

Comprehensive support services play a critical role in creating value within acquired or partnered organizations, whether through optimized supply chains, instituting digital transformation committees, or executive position changes. 

Ultimately, modern private equity firms are best positioned to optimize enterprise operations to enhance profitability and achieve superior returns for investors, expecting a holistic business enrichment approach for true value creation that lasts for decades and unprecedented gains.
