    Tu sais qu’une compagnie est sérieuse avec le Generative AI quand elle ouvre le poste d’architecte de sécurité spécialisé en GenAI! Avec la description, on peut même déjà imaginer les cas d’usage qu’ils ont et c’est beau beau beau. Premièrement, la personne (ou l’agent AI) qui a écrit la description d’emploi chez Intact comprend parfaitement l’environnement de sécurité et du AI. Je vous suggère de CTRL-C - CTRL-V ça dans un document et de la réutiliser avec votre nom de compagnie car je ne changerais rien au contenu ;) Pour les cas d’usages, en lisant la partie ci-dessous, on peut voir beaucoup de valeur et on va décortiquer ça ensemble. “Concevoir et développer des architectures et des cadres de sécurité pour les applications et les systèmes d'IA générative, tels que la génération de langage naturel, la vision par ordinateur et la synthèse audio.” - Génération de langage naturel Quand je lis ça, je pense immédiatement aux réponses clients qui s’automatise selon base d'anciennes réponses par des agents humains. Avec une base de données des contacts clients via courriel, chat et téléphone qui se met à jour en temps réel avec la transcription des interactions, ils pourront automatiser une grande partie des intéractions qui demandent du support “niveau 1”. Les agents niveau 1 pourront se concentrer sur des tâches à valeur ajoutée comme l’upselling, des cas compliqués et un service “VIP” pour les entreprises. - Vision par ordinateur ÇA, ÇA, c’est intéressant car il y a tellement de possibilités pour une compagnie d’assurance comme pré-filtrer les images reçues des dommages par leur clients et être capable de générer qu’est-ce qui est brisé, extrapoler un coût de réparation / achat et envoyer ça à un agent pour révision. Je suis pas mal certain qu’ils ont une base de données d’images et de montants associés à la réclamation donc ça va être simple de faire apprendre le modèle et d’avoir déjà des réponses super proches de la réalité. - Synthèse audio Plusieurs possibilités avec l’audio comme les réponses au call center automatisé, support aux agents avec une interprétation en direct de la conversation et suggestion de réponses et transcription / résumé des conversations dans leur système. Ce cas d’usage s’emboite parfaitement avec celui de la génération de langage naturel. On peut aussi facilement imaginer qu’un client explique son problème à l’IA, l’IA regarde le même type de cas d’usage dans la base de données et donne des réponses sur quoi faire, combien est  le montant moyen, etc… Intact a déjà un super lab d’innovation à l’interne donc j’ai hâte de voir ce qu’ils vont inventer dans les prochains mois / années avec le Generative AI. Encore mieux, ils pensent à la sécurité dès le début donc le support interne sera encore plus grand car ils auront déjà dédouané tout ça avec l’équipe IT qui est toujours le dernier rempart avec la mise en ligne de ce type de cas d’usage. Go Intact!

    Title: Why Your Business Isn't Ready for LLMs (And Why It Should Be) - Part 4 Yesterday, we explored the architecture of hybrid chatbots. Today, let's dive into Fireraven's hybrid solution that combines the flexibility of LLMs with the reliability of traditional systems. Fireraven offers a hybrid chatbot solution that merges the flexibility of LLMs with the dependability of traditional chatbots. But Fireraven goes further by enabling businesses to create a custom database of safe questions tailored to their specific needs and context. And the best part? You don’t need to know how to code to manage it. With Fireraven, you can easily define which topics you want to address, which questions are safe, and which should be blocked, all through our intuitive interface. Thanks to our robust fact checker and RAGs (retrieval-augmented generation), there's almost no risk of hallucinations. If your chatbot ever produces an incorrect response, we can explain why it happened and show you how to edit your database to prevent future errors, making it the safest chatbot you’ve ever tried. Building your question database is straightforward with Fireraven’s technology, which guides businesses through our generative models, advanced testing, and red-teaming techniques. This ensures the LLM only generates responses to questions rigorously vetted for accuracy and relevance within your specific business context. For instance, a bank using Fireraven’s solution can populate its database with thousands of banking-related queries, such as "How do I reset my online banking password?" or "What are the current mortgage rates?" The chatbot will never respond to questions unrelated to banking. Once the database is established, Fireraven’s chatbots continually learn from user interactions, refining and expanding their capabilities. This process ensures that the chatbot becomes more accurate and efficient over time, providing a seamless and reliable user experience. Ready to explore Fireraven?

    Title: Why Your Business Isn't Ready for LLMs (And Why It Should Be) - Part 3 In our last discussion, we highlighted the limitations of traditional chatbots. Today, let's explore a balanced solution: hybrid chatbots that merge the strengths of LLMs and traditional systems. Hybrid chatbots leverage the power of LLMs to generate natural language responses while being guided by a structured framework to ensure accuracy and relevance. This architecture comprises four integral layers: the Rule-Based Layer, the LLM Layer, the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, and the Verification Layer. Each layer, distinct yet interconnected, contributes to a chatbot that is articulate, accurate, and dependable. Let's dive into the anatomy of these layers and explore how they work together to create this sophisticated system. Rule-Based Layer In the grand architecture of hybrid chatbots, the Rule-Based Layer serves as the vigilant gatekeeper. This layer ensures that the chatbot operates within predefined boundaries and adheres to strict protocols. It starts by assessing whether the chatbot is even permitted to answer the query at hand. Is the question relevant? Does the user have the necessary access rights to the requested information? Do we already have the answer within our existing knowledge base? Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Next, we enter the dynamic and resourceful RAG layer. This is where the chatbot’s true prowess in information retrieval shines. When a user query arrives, the RAG system dives into a contextual database, fetching all pertinent information needed to construct a comprehensive and accurate response. LLM Layer At the heart of the hybrid chatbot lies the LLM Layer, the poet and the thinker. This layer takes the structured data provided by the RAG system and crafts it into natural, flowing language that feels almost human. The LLM (Large Language Model) generates responses that are not only contextually accurate but also engaging and easy to understand. Verification Layer Finally, we have the Verification Layer, the meticulous editor and fact-checker. This layer is crucial in maintaining the integrity and professionalism of the chatbot’s responses. It performs rigorous fact-checking, applying filters and classifiers to ensure the generated content is accurate, polite, and aligned with company guidelines. Together, these four layers form a robust and sophisticated architecture that empowers hybrid chatbots to deliver exceptional service. Tomorrow, we'll introduce Fireraven’s solution, a cutting-edge hybrid chatbot that sets a new standard in customer service.

    Why Your Business Isn't Ready for LLMs (And Why It Should Be) - Part 2 In the first part of this series, we discussed why LLMs aren't yet suited for client-facing chatbots. Today, let's explore why traditional chatbots often lead to frustration and why businesses need to rethink their approach. Traditional Chatbots: An Exercise in Frustration Most companies still rely on traditional chatbots for their client-facing applications. These chatbots operate on predefined scripts and rules, providing responses based on specific keywords or phrases. Their strength lies in their predictability and reliability, making them ideal for straightforward tasks such as answering frequently asked questions or guiding users through simple processes. However, traditional chatbots have their limitations. They lack the ability to understand context or manage complex conversations. If a user asks a question that falls outside the chatbot's programmed responses, the bot may fail to provide a satisfactory answer, leading to frustration. They are also not capable of learning from new interactions; they can only do what they've been explicitly programmed to do. This inflexibility can make them less effective in dynamic environments where user queries vary widely and require nuanced understanding. A Real-Life Example Take my recent experience with my bank’s website. I needed a specimen check but had no idea where to find it on their labyrinthine interface. Desperately, I clicked the help button, which led me through a series of predefined options that ultimately couldn’t assist me. Frustrated, I called customer service, waited on hold for 30 minutes, and finally got the answer in three clicks. Imagine if an LLM-powered chatbot had been there. It could’ve understood my query, navigated the bank’s database, and provided the document in seconds. This would’ve saved me time, spared the customer service trainee the hassle, and been more efficient for the company. This experience highlights the gap between traditional chatbots and the potential of LLMs. Traditional systems are like maze runners—they follow a set path, and any deviation leaves them confused. In contrast, LLMs can think and adapt on the fly, providing a much more intuitive and satisfying user experience. Looking Ahead Tomorrow, we'll discuss hybrid chatbot solutions that can enhance both reliability and flexibility.

    Why Your Business Isn't Ready for LLMs (And Why It Should Be) - Part 1 In a world where business interactions are personal and seamless, Large Language Models (LLMs) promise to transform customer service. Imagine a digital assistant that understands your needs, remembers past interactions, and responds with empathy and precision. Despite their extraordinary capabilities, why do customer interactions still feel more robotic than revolutionary? In this part, we'll dive into why LLMs, despite their sophistication, face hurdles in customer service. The issue isn't their intelligence but their ability to handle real-world interactions efficiently. Rewind to 2010: You're on a website, seeking support from a chatbot that only understands a limited set of commands. “Press 1 for billing, press 2 for technical support.” Frustrating, right? These early chatbots operated on rigid decision trees. Fast forward to today: Enter LLMs like OpenAI’s GPT-4. These cutting-edge AIs are designed to understand and generate human-like text, making conversations more fluid and natural. They can explain complex topics, navigate legal questions, and even score high on challenging exams. Think of them as the chatbots’ equivalent of Iron Man’s Jarvis—intelligent, flexible, and incredibly capable. Yet, here’s the conundrum: despite mastering complex tasks, LLMs struggle with straightforward customer service. Why? It's not about intelligence but implementation, reliability, and trust. The Hallucination Problem: Imagine resolving a billing issue with a bot, and it starts giving you random financial advice. This “hallucination” happens because LLMs generate responses based on patterns, not actual understanding. These unpredictable responses make hallucinations a significant problem, requiring extensive oversight and adjustments. Data Privacy Concerns: Consider an unpredictable AI accessing your sensitive data. While it offers valuable insights, there's a risk of accidental exposure of confidential information. These models remember everything of their training data, posing a significant privacy issue. Despite these challenges, companies are investing in LLMs tailored to specific fields, balancing advanced AI benefits with data privacy and security. Tomorrow, we'll explore traditional chatbots, their strengths, and limitations.
