AI from Labs to Production - Challenges and Learnings

Ramprakash Ramamoorthy, P Satya Madhuri, and Malini Christina Raj, Zoho Corporation

Abstract: 

This talk is about the story of taking AI from research to deployment in the enterprise software world. The talk walks you through personnel, product management and technical challenges and learnings in retrofitting AI into commercial enterprise products. The talk also highlights how AI for the enterprise needs a different strategy than the typical B2C AI and touches upon the changes we made to convince the average enterprise user to come back and imbibe the AI feature into his everyday workflow, thereby driving our ROI.
