Voicebot Podcast Episode 15 - Hicham Tahiri CEO Smartly.ai

Hicham Tahiri is the founder and CEO of Smartly.ai. While Hicham
started as an embedded systems engineer, he began his job as a
voice user interface designer way back in 2006 and has spent most
of his career focused on voice technology. He later founded what
became Smartly in 2011 to help companies building robots and cars
integrate speech recognition and interaction into their
solutions. When Amazon Echo was launched along with the Alexa
Skills Kit in 2015, Smartly began creating Alexa skills and built
one of the first third-party voice app design solutions.


Smartly.ai is headquartered in Paris and its software is used by
over a thousand developers worldwide. The solution is designed to
enable voice app development without the need for technical
expertise and as a toolset for skilled developers to build more
efficiently.
