"if something is popular, criminals will exploit it" -- strikes once again. This time, we're talking about the trending ChatGPT chatbot, developed by OpenAI, which has been all over the news of late. When OpenAI opened access to its AI chatbot (that is, a chatbot based on neural networks trained on a vast corpus of text), the internet changed beyond recognition practically overnight. Users all over the planet rushed to see what the chatbot is capable of -- and were not disappointed (and often positively astonished). ChatGPT can maintain a dialog in a way that feels like there's a real person at the other end.

Our client lost only a quarter of the budget they dedicated to an AI project because they chose to start with a proof of concept.

This article explains what an AI proof of concept is and elaborates on the five steps that will guide you through your first PoC, together with the challenges that you might encounter on the way. It also presents AI PoC examples from our portfolio.

It's been estimated that 96% of companies consider Account Based Marketing (ABM) as the key driver to increase revenue in B2B sales. ABM enables organizations, such as Reuters, to modify their marketing budgets by focusing on the customers' likelihood of purchase in order to optimize their marketing strategies and target customers who are more prone to convert. Account-based marketing is a data-driven customized B2B marketing approach. It focuses on high-value accounts and delivers messages based on particular traits and needs of these accounts. The sales, marketing, and executive teams sustain and improve their relations with these customers to direct them to buy more expensive or additional products.

When the sale of Heather Lord's house completed, her conveyancing solicitor attempted to transfer funds to her bank account. An automated message warned him that her name did not match the name on the account he was paying into, and that the transfer would therefore be at his own risk. "I phoned the bank and asked who I was," she says. "They told me I was Ms Heather Audrey Lord. This was also refused by the system! As we didn't want to risk my money disappearing, I asked for a cheque, made out to Heather Lord, which was processed with no problem."

Your free Google business listing (known as your Business Profile) can do more than you think. When properly optimized, it showcases your best features and makes it easy for consumers to discover, learn about, and contact your business. But in order to properly optimize your Business Profile, you need access to it, and in order to access it, you need to verify with Google that you are the rightful owner. While it seems as though it should be as simple as "step one create, step two claim, and step three verify," the process is neither that simple nor that linear--which, if you're reading this post, you have already figured out. That's because it requires three different Google accounts and two different Google platforms, all of which have very similar names.
