Alex shares valuable insights from his work at Slang and draws parallels to his time at Spotify, highlighting how personalization drives engagement across different sectors. They delve into the distinction between conversational and agentic AI, with Alex dispelling common misconceptions while emphasizing that well-implemented AI enhances rather than replaces human connection in hospitality settings.

Alex's enthusiasm for natural voice interactions and conversational design reveals a future where technology transparently serves both businesses and customers, creating seamless experiences that feel intuitive rather than intrusive.
