The Re MARS Interviews with Pulse Labs, Volley, The Cube, Reuters, Bondad, and Philosophical Creations - Voicebot Podcast Ep 101

Today’s episode is a compilation of six interviews captured
onsite at Amazon’s inaugural Re: MARS conference earlier this
month. MARS stands for Machine Learning, AI, Robots, and Space,
and it is designed to showcase what Amazon thinks about the
future of tech. We have a great lineup to discuss the Alexa
Conversations and the cross-skill goal completion announcements
as well as innovations on display ranging from neural detection
from wrist movements to drone delivery and how we interact with
robots. I purposely asked a couple of people to join the
discussion that are not part of the voice industry so we could
also get a perspective about some of the other innovations that
Amazon and its partners had on display.


First up, we have Dylan Zwick form Pulse Labs followed by James
Wilsterman of game developer Volley. Third and fourth in line are
Stu Miniman from The Cube and Silicon Angle followed by Jeffrey
Dastin of Reuters. We conclude with John Gillilam of Bondad.fm
and Steve Arkonovich of Philosophical Creations. So, we have two
long-time developers and voice industry company founders to start
us off with commentary about Alexa Conversations. In the middle,
we have two Amazon and tech industry watchers discussing topics
beyond voice that you may find both relevant and interesting. We
close with two developers that taught themselves to code so they
could participate in the Alexa ecosystem, have had substantial
success with Alexa skills and they weigh in on Alexa and other
technologies they saw at Re: MARS.
