Sappy The Sales Assistant Parrot

Artificial Intelligence, TechMatt TerBurghComment

Idea: An AI-based parrot that would observe communications between a salesperson or customer service person and a client and help "grease the wheels" of communication. For example, by repeating ("parroting") what the salesperson just said but with less jargon, by being a language/culture translator, by interjecting humor if the interaction is becoming toxic, by interpreting body language to detect if someone is confused, etc. Also: it could have a "talk out loud mode" where the salesperson and client can both hear it, and a "whispering mode" where it speaks into an earpiece of the salesman (example: "Psst, I don't think he knows what a car wrap is"); it could learn from sales mistakes and remind you later (if a similar client shows up or a similar situation arises) to not repeat the same mistake, and also pass that learned knowledge onto other salespeople (especially rookies); it could have a "lie offload mode" for situations such as when your boss is encouraging you to up-sell to clients who don't really need it but you're morally opposed to ripping them off yourself (in which case, the parrot would do it instead)
