Rowan Trollope

Hi, Sterling.

Operator

ahead, check line Please open. function. your your go mute Sterling, is

Sterling Auty

that. about sorry guys, Hey

follow So the AI up of on I questioning. to line also wanted

Google, as something they this take your waters? Microsoft eye specifically, should forward, about how piece up ultimately being to versus, we So do some think navigate want biggest competition they other and how of, moving some and could they and AI bigger partners – that AWS, those a endeavors you market end as

Rowan Trollope

don't I so. think Yes,

Google at weeks about at center ago, with two look way contact we you on If Google to AI the partnership AI announced so just launched is you enablement We really a Google providing sort the Google their underpinnings and everyone what platform should of Next it. Google call. think that's refresh a cloud announced event. underlying -- the of

So recognition, automated speech natural text-to-speech, -- automatic processing. so language

to what they enterprise were to are not contact announced Google app an recognizes would substantial first they that provider bring not also sort the se. their intent So other at one said that center industries. company their to their a in Google explicit intelligence and of is they app, their not Contact be and is very investments artificial contact was surprising center event given is the become and intent app center that certainly is that first, per

see is, more AI customers case at platform. to the are their so, technologies Google using Google, in the least that I is way their substantial onto And in of they draw the cloud it

Microsoft way by available same Amazon. are could Microsoft; be and very from the think from I technologies Azure, the thing the same of similar on said

for and to their into them they on more for platform allow think to and that have I more capability allow -- get platform. technologies a to cloud So take to all developers desire build a AI

developed in point race on to I is have to for differentiate been really So to is And a cloud, get heavy many these struggle have. because a of and where that to for the that’s all way that the data. backs us way, has in in think then of we vendors were years, What have a go this cloud vendors one get enterprise for consumer able app and do that data. us, don't way it’s technology over lifting, something another and it's And these they the businesses guys. the their they the to a leverage for

access to data not big they data will that that's and behalf to be will will on we that of us that allow their but certainly they concern the have in and customers, our certainly So is models, a FiveX case, to, retain way, recordings want think train customers, accessing uniquely also context case and Google contact in in things. they XX were these, don’t bet the we what out, the cloud what really advertising is then that announcement we've not is, center, and second day is clear so or we other million any we center specific -- for that contact a have platform, per by voice doesn't data. I that of as over And data we getting our have and the that used enterprise on do being got, not well very have point the the of domain have Google that something access they the data. this of

have on So by to the that while call in healthcare individual models very what very domains. implementing And just expertise for mean these lingo than we example, roadside give sit we learning machine claims area call, domain of that assistance uniquely those use I an an specific. have trained that's different with the you A is right to a call contact because And you example. for be these centers. customers that

a for multitenant. specifically born cloud centers more think are truly center it sum in it’s up, contact and pure cloud, the development the all that I positive for to very industry contact So

Sterling Auty

the other to in this a have consist the more business, you the is different one sustainable? of enterprise it dollar follow-up Perfect. putting is specific terms been resources Can guys business. made? and just things so little you bit And is quarter improvement that that Or business thing the help changes on just commercial one you more that be Was in the what it work?

Rowan Trollope

Sterling Auty

Thank Got you. it.

Operator

Marshall to next Morgan Stanley. go Meta with We'll

Meta Marshall

a Great. my value of the and translating come is the of of question. of that's the itself libraries kind In Thanks that up the data kind one difficulty of for into significant or taking say AI they questions have the where may the people be that and kind mention wrong whether canceled meant because not cancel call hurdle. on a diligent, of being it would words

eventual could of talk sets first would you be That's if the the Or subscriptions? just themselves? you plan data just about, the kind potentially through monetizing on question. AI So it data even monetizing would through

that you could great? first, be answer If would that Thanks.

Rowan Trollope

take that one. is Sure. Thanks Rowan. This Meta. I'll

haven't recently. recordings million, million that been XX those per interesting until I So mentioned more voice day. really than XX And

those sort is others. these what transcribe take specifically have of dramatically from AI files and last Before accurately Google the really very expensive wave latest in in customers the text, and is and of and talking developments changed year giant to into that

text was more that you expensive. – it is big cheaper. Google's rate. hurdle. but that's could translating do rate down. furthermore, There's minute and it rack others so, go the is are now a $X.XX And Google going And speech to only for much before was who that's it And to one

shift. big a that's So

this shift speech the at time text opportunities. accuracy able of speech, -- that big introduces human other other we're that real being is The that in to and transcription is level do recorded

think question possible. I ways So to answer you both are

exactly have We contact -- last on business that both we or things in the of its well two how weeks capabilities like been new and center sell, providing I see weeks publishing as can blogs published we as couple affecting the this insight. through maybe three

top through flowing the give what customers traffic of recorded like backend, So and email saying. into sort pipes processing apply given text recordings natural in our things and and are language on all you insight our all voice is real-time we to those of your can that given

from relevant be is being business by generating really. this So a going of variety ways sort AI the revenue contact to back-office in cost to center center a whole highly of function shifted bolstered a

Meta Marshall

Okay. Got then helpful. it. Thank And you. the That's second maybe question.

guys more forward about conservative tended a bit to You have little be guidance.

And shorter pretty are breaking taking when deals so just that to its and in. close. larger ways down a are – They coming they're meaningful just time is a

just kind customers you on You're add-on more is what to of guidance range? confidence seeing giving the existing

Barry Zwarenstein

not just us is Yes. Overall, adequate know very We're you're premise the switch biggest upon giving giving the that us to the single business. the and what the eventual visibility the have there. got and that translation into then the so have booking we well. a in voyages is to have we is pretty We've confidence market discovery cloud. Meta product – huge otherwise know We the thing, embarking from what -- to got the market the and simply We've and predictability the reliability here. guidance of that all scalability you not going

a stronger those going the to be. half know combination will exactly it you it's things second and how now seasonally we the We're that part of stronger year, So stronger of don't see. all

a if we've raise And it at to stage. turn out we'll prudent this stance better even more. then things be So taken

Rowan Trollope

to And add. Thank you, just Barry. one thing

to Just one thing add.
