Jesse Zhang: 我认为AI代理在客户互动和客服方面具有最佳应用前景，因为大型语言模型非常适合处理这类任务。Decagon的AI代理特别注重透明性，让企业客户能够了解代理的决策过程、使用的数据以及答案的来源。AI代理的益处在于节省人力成本和时间，同时提高客户满意度，从而提升客户留存率和转化率。我们与Built Rewards公司的合作案例表明，AI代理能够帮助企业停止客服团队的扩张，并最终减少客服岗位数量，同时提升客户体验。Decagon的核心竞争力在于其构建在AI模型之上的软件层，包括模型编排和各种软件工具，以确保透明性和可控性。对于Decagon的AI代理而言，指令遵循能力比定量推理能力更重要。Decagon的AI代理支持多种沟通渠道，包括语音和文本，以满足不同客户的需求。语音模型的延迟仍然是一个问题，但可以通过各种技术手段来缓解，例如流式传输和语音到语音模型。许多来自数学竞赛背景的人才涌入AI创业领域，这与创业的普及以及这些人才之间的社区联系有关。Decagon与其他AI创业公司之间存在非正式的互相帮助和支持。数学竞赛背景在Decagon的招聘中起到一定的参考作用，但并非决定性因素。未来几年，我期待AI模型在多模态方面的进步，以及AI代理在各种应用场景中的普及，并关注人类在监督和编辑AI代理方面的工作变化。AI代理的成功取决于其易于逐步部署和量化投资回报率的能力。
