Avaya Adds AI Features to Spaces, Leverages Nvidia Maxine

Avaya today revealed a set of enhancements for its Spaces team collaboration and meeting application that are in part based on the partnership with GPU vendor Nvidia announced last October around the use of that company's cloud-based AI services. Presenter mode -- Using video AI capabilities, presenters can now overlay video on top of slideshows and other content they're sharing, Avaya said in a press release. Noise reduction -- Provides the ability to reduce background noises like dogs barking and loud keyboard typing. Enhanced calling -- Users can now make outbound calls from within Spaces. Additionally, users within Spaces can search and merge contacts from multiple devices, and they can transfer, merge, and manage multiple concurrent calls simultaneously, Avaya said.
