Founder Irzan Raditya joins the Indo Tekno podcast to address the profound deepening in functionality that the application of artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled to his earlier SMS-based digital assistant start-up YesBoss, in its 8+ year evolution into what is today Indonesia's leading chatbot platform, Kata.ai. With more than 170 paying enterprise customers, Kata.ai overlays generative AI to enhance Indonesia's near-ubiquitous use of "chat commerce" over platforms such as WhatsApp. Irzan traces the genesis of his career as a prolific serial entrepreneur to the age of eight, when he made a good business out of drawing caricatures for his classmates. Irzan also offers insightful suggestions around safeguards to any potential abuse of AI in the future.
