Quora’s AI Chatbot Launches Monetization for Creators
Quora's AI chatbot platform, Poe, is now paying bot creators for their efforts, making it one of the first platforms to monetarily reward AI bot builders. Bot creators can generate income by leading users to subscribe to Poe or by setting a per-message fee.
The program is currently only available to U.S. users. Quora hopes this program will enable smaller companies and AI research groups to create bots and reach the public.
Read the announcement by Adam D'Angelo, Quora CEO.
Why does this matter?
The company aims to onboard new subscribers through this program and better compete against other AI chatbot apps. The program will support both prompt bots created directly on Poe and server bots created by developers who write code. Also potentially helps smaller researchers earn the large amounts of revenue that are needed to train bigger models and further fund their research.
ElevenLabs Debuts Enterprise AI Speech Solutions
ElevenLabs, a speech technology startup, has launched its new Eleven Labs Enterprise platform, offering businesses advanced speech solutions with high-quality audio output and enterprise-grade security. The platform can automate audiobook creation, power interactive voice agents, streamline video production, and enable dynamic in-game voice generation. It offers exclusive access to high-quality audio, fast rendering speeds, priority support, and first looks at new features.
ElevenLabs' technology is already being used by 33% of the S&P 500 companies. The company's enterprise-grade security features, including end-to-end encryption and full privacy mode, ensure content confidentiality.
Why does this matter?
In business, it can streamline communication and customer interaction through interactive voice agents. In the entertainment sector, it can lead to the creation of more immersive and high-quality audiobooks, videos, and games. This development will redefine how we experience and interact with audio content.
Dell Partners with Meta to Use Liama2
Dell Technologies has partnered with Meta to bring the Llama 2 open-source AI model to enterprise users on-premises. Dell will support Llama 2 models to its Dell Validated Design for Generative AI hardware and generative AI solutions for on-premises deployments.
Dell will also guide its enterprise customers on deploying Llama 2 and help them build applications using open-source technology. Dell is using Llama 2 for its own internal purposes, including supporting Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) for its knowledge base.
Why does this matter?
The partnership with Dell provides more opportunities for Meta to learn how enterprises use Llama and expand its capabilities. Meta is also optimistic about Dell providing support for Llama 2. In Meta’s opinion: the more Llama technology is deployed, the more use cases there are, and the better it will be for Llama developers to learn where the pitfalls are and how to better deploy at scale.
