Today’s guest is Maxim Serebryakov, Co-Founder and CEO at Sanas. Max joins Seth Earley and Chris Featherstone and shares what influenced him to start his company. Max discusses what it was like to study artificial intelligence at Stanford and how it created a broad perspective on how things work. Max believes if you go above and beyond you can help anyone. 

Takeaways:

  • Max was born in New York, moving back to Russia where his family is from as a child. When he returned to the United States, hearing the accents around him led to the creation of his company, Sanas.
  • Artificial intelligence shows the limitations of modern-day voice conversion research. You're not just modulating the pitch and tone, you're changing the underlying phonetics that are present within it.
  • Initially, they chose to deploy Sanas in contact centers and enterprises because speech is very structured.
  •  Sanas helps large companies improve customer service interactions which is crucial to their service.

Quote of the Show:

  • “We ended up building an algorithm that really doesn't exist in the research world. It's very innovative. It works on the edge, works with clients, and it's very efficient.” (11:02)
