SAN FRANCISCO, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Zammo.ai, the company accelerating the transition to the voice economy, announced today the world s only no-code, conversational AI platform. The Zammo conversational AI platform allows businesses to engage and transact with customers on voice assistants, interactive voice response (IVR)/telephony, and popular chatbot channels. The platform eliminates time-consuming and cost prohibitive service contracts that until now, have prevented businesses from embracing conversational AI technology.
According to
Juniper Research, the total transaction value of smart home payments, payments that occur via smart home devices, will exceed $164 billion in 2025, from $22 billion in 2020. They also noted that increasing use of voice assistants via smart speakers for eCommerce, propelled by rising user and merchant acceptance, will drive dramatic growth of over 630% in total value over the next five years.
NOT SO FAST
There is no doubt the train journey between Coffs Harbour and Sydney is one of the loveliest in NSW. But as a commute between the north coast and Sydney, it s an absolute embarrassment. It takes about nine hours, if it s on time, for the 608 kilometre-trip in rail stock nearly 40 years old on tracks put down in the 19th century. There are also several layovers as you wait for a passing train on the single line track. A trip roughly the same distance in Japan takes 2 hours 15 minutes; South Korea, about 2 hours and 50 minutes; and from Paris to Lyon in France, 1 hour 50 minutes. Our approach, or lack of one, to high speed rail in Australia is a national disgrace.
Unlike Rod McCallum (
Traveller Letters, March 20) I don t think it would worry me if I lost my Qantas frequent flyer membership card. These days I earn FF points in many ways and places such as credit card purchases, transactions at service stations, pharmacies, non-card financial services and even a health app just for walking day in, day out.
I know where my card is, however, I can t recall when I last had to produce it. There s an image of it on my phone if really needed. The days of having to produce a plastic card are fading fast.
