50th episode! Damien welocmes newcomer to the pod Oliver Shoulson, PolyAI's senior dialogue designer, about what dialogue design entails and why it's crucial in the era of advanced language models (LLMs).

He notes that good dialogue designers often come from backgrounds in linguistics, human-computer interaction, and scriptwriting, and they blend skills from product design, software engineering, and data analysis.

An interesting topic everyone can appreciate!
