Noelle LaCharite recently moved to Microsoft Cognitive Services

Cortana team demonstrated integration with Alexa. In this week's
interview, we cover the recent Microsoft news and its impact for
developers building for Alexa and Google Assistant, how Noelle
landed in AI and voice, what it takes to build a new language
model and much more. Noelle also has experience working at
Pivotal, VMWare, and IBM and earned a degree in Computer Science
