Massachusetts is held as some kind of “model” for gun laws. In this state you have to have a license to even touch a gun. Nearly every gun is registered. The Assault Weapon Ban is alive and well. Basically, every liberal anti-gun dream short of a total ban exists.And when you look at the number of gun deaths, it looks like it is working.Well, you know what they say - There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.Here is how the numbers are fudged.First, when they list gun deaths, they list ALL gun deaths. Nationwide, nearly 2/3 of all firearm deaths are suicide. Here in Massachusetts, firearm s...

** I do not work for Rockstar and or am affiliated with Rockstar games and their affiliated companies responsible for the GTA franchise, intellectual property, and or GTA:V. This is just some insight to how the process typically works. I'm passing this along to those that are my friends who are currently working at large game studios including Rockstar. This is my opinion and not representative of how Rockstar's internal process actually works (it's along the lines), and yes this post will be littered with grammatical errors and mistakes, sorry. This post is pretty long, but it covers how AAA games are made both from my experience working in the industry, and from friends who are currently building games.How the process typically works in a AAA game."Grand Theft Auto 5 is an incredibly complex game for any studio to handle, let alone produce." The estimated cost for developing such a game of this grandiose scale is in the hundreds of millions with hundreds if not thousands of employees building such a product in a collective tandem. Along with a collective hundreds of thousands of man hours, millions lines of code, QA testing, many years, and sleepless nights. It's no easy task to build a game that is filled with a wealth & breadth of depth and scale. So why make a game this big? The return on investment can make or break a studio. With Rockstar investing millions if not a few hundred million into a game that hasn't even hit market-shelves proving that the concept had worked is extremely risky in todays volatile video game market, yet alone economic market. However, if the product is successful; for example opening up with a launch day of 9.5 million sales at a base retail price of $60 (USD) with some fluctuation between $60-$90 for the collectors edition, this then can net extremely profitable returns for the publisher and developers. So what comes first? Rockstar has already proven that the "GTA" concept is successful with previous GTA releases. That being said, GTA is a proven concept that works, so building a prototype / and story around the GTA universe is relatively simple in terms of continuing the GTA ip (intellectual property). With an already established and existing market with consumer demand for open world sandbox games, GTA5 will fare pretty well.They don't need to build a sci-fi universe with a cowboy running around gunslinging aliens from the ground up. Which in the end may or may not work. The GTA franchise has been proven to work, and the sandbox genre is currently in demand, so GTA:V will most likely succeed. So, the challenge for Rockstar is keeping the genre of fresh and innovative while keeping the players interested and staying current in leveraging current & next gen platforms, and pushing the game industry forward. Albeit, with all the preparation of making sure the game works, and is fun during consumer testing there's a lot of luck if a game will succeed. Many of these variables include; timing of the product's release, the current demand, the interest from varying demographics, and whether or not there are socio-economic influences at play where as whether or not many consumers don't have available discretionary income at their disposal. These are all factors that need to be considered ahead of time to minimize a failed launch, bottleneck in production, and so that at the end of the fiscal year the company can pay employees and recoup loses without too high of a burn rate with returns in the red. Then comes the game's many "engines".With that being said some of the past technologies used to develop old GTA titles can be retrofitted for the new asset pipeline for developing GTA:V. Internally, Rockstar is still going to have to build new pipelines for artists to deliver their content to multiple teams, engineers to push new builds, and so on. The technical team and the content makers will most likely be using Perforce, or Alien Brain. If they are using Perforce, then they'll most likely be integrating it with Shotgun, Helix, and Swarm. Perforce is used to manage assets on a server. Perforce is a VCS and is used typically across all AAA companies whether they adopt Perforce or utilize another Version Control System. VCS is at the heart of ensuring coherence and stability in AAA games development.The pipeline system would most likely fall under "tools development" which a team of engineers would be responsible for. Afterwards, there's going to be a custom scripting language added on top of an existing language used to build and script GTA's world, gameplay programming, missions, and events. The game most likely will be written in C++, and the game is made together in Rockstars RAGE engine. On-top of using C++, Rockstar will leverage scripting languages such as LUA / Python to manage gameplay scripting so that game designers can edit game play and test for game feel.- "Sandboxes": For the sake of brevity, let's say they'll be using lots of sandboxes to build the games many features before putting all that content into a release master build. - They're going to need multiple sandboxes to build things in. When everything is built in these different sandboxes, everything then will be merged into one sandbox. - An engine that houses the game. This would be the release branch of the game internally. - There's definitely a level editor that allows content creators (level designers, environmental artists, etc) to build the game quickly. - A cutscene team. This typically will fall to the VFX and Art department. - Animation coherence / testing sandbox.- An internal gameplay testing white room for testing out various gameplay mechanics, and game feel. (how a car drives, shooting enemies, etc) "the debug engine essentially". - A sound engine / branch. Here the foley effects will be placed into the world, tested, along with sound effects, and music. - A sound system for voice actors. -  Story tree engine / narrative engine. - Multiplayer sandbox along with its network testing counterparts (pay loading, smoke tests, etc) - They're going to be using a ton of mathematical computations that predict what a player will do against the AI, an objective, or whether or not a player has met a certain criteria for X.- Most of it will be behavioral AI algorithms. - A lot of will also be 3D rendering. - Rendering assets will also be done with an algorithm to utilize the most memory efficient usage of the game so that the console / pc is not being over-clocked. With that being said, they'll probably use a 3rd party tool to help condense assets.- Calculating objects with objects inside the game world.- Running searches in the background to see what x player is doing and how to predict the next outcome.They'll be using some sort of system to manage things.Inside they're also going to be using AlienBrain / Perforce or some sort of equivalent system (most likely a private enterprise system) to house builds and backup all assets, for collaboration. This is used for "source control" on a larger scale. AAA studios have millions of files to manage, and in the event that the game breaks during development, the technical team can rollback. Though costly, to rollback two-three days work, is much easier, than losing an entire projects length of work if shit really hits the fan. - Systems:-  Perforce: Or a private enterprise software (most likely this).- An enterprise task software - Server storage for housing builds, and backing stuff up.- Game analytics system (they track what you do in the game). Services such as Kontagent which is very pricey.- Custom scripting language built on top of a pre-existing system (mostly used for gameplay scripting, hotlinking objects, think LUA on top of C++)- Some sort of enterprise employee system for inhouse purposesFor managing the design of the game and so that milestones are met, Rockstar is either using trickle down SCRUM or AGILE SCRUM with SCRUM masters. They are also probably taking advantage of using working methodologies such as MoScOw and SWAT to make decisions. For the art tools:More than likely, they're going to be using Zbrush, Maya, or Mudbox for 3d modeling. The artists are then going to be getting their hands dirty with a variety of tools including, Photoshop, Sketchbook Pro, Illustrator, After Effects, and what not. For the engineers: For coding, it's going to be a mix of Visual Studio, and or some other SDK + IDE that isn't available on the market. There's also going to be a version control system (VCS) in place and a chain of senior engineers that oversee the code from junior engineers before it goes into the release branch. Here juniors and non-senior engineers will work on forked branches that they checkout before submitting them for a vetting process before integration. Rockstar also leverages Autodesks new game development tools such as Scaleform, Beast, Kynapse, HumanIK. Sound is going to be using either Logic Pro, or Pro Tools, Ableton live, and possibly AVID. They're also going to be shelling out a lot for analytics measurement for seeing what players are doing in the game with a lot of telemetry. Still reading? One person, yet alone 20 people can't build GTA:V.There's going to be a lot of math involved in GTA:V.There's probably a whole team just of programmers responsible for handling the physics of the game. Geometric meshing, physics, handling vectors, the friction of a car against the slope of the road in the Hollywood hills, the force of a car running into an object, etc. Just calculating the math on paper is difficult enough, having to program it in is even more so! However, a lot of this math will be handled by the engine itself at runtime; math is still a crucial component. There's going to be a lot of animation involved in GTA:V.Along with all the physics, there is going to be a lot of animators, riggers, and programmers working in tandem so that the games animations look fluid and play well. This being calculating the frames for managing when an animation plays, handling cutscene animation, rigging the bones and steps to the game with controller input. The list goes on and on. There's going to be a lot of gameplay scripters.Someone is going to have to write the gameplay scripting. So that when you press fire on say an Xbox One controller, it fires back and shoots. Along with all the other actions needed for a games mechanics / actions. There's going to be a dedicated team of AI scripters.Someone has to write the path finding and math behind what an NPC does against a player. The projectiles fired at a player and X, and what it should do if the actions are met and or not. This involves a lot of math, trial and error, and solid programming skills. Here's a great book on writing AI. Behavioral Mathematics for Game AI: Dave Mark: 9781584506843: Amazon.com: Books There's going to be that team of producers, senior devs, senior designers, etc.With all thats going on someone is going to have to oversee the production of GTA:V. To make sure that it is up to par and that they can report back to the people funding the project with a product that is up to quality. Remember, someone has to shell out around a hundred million or more to make this game work. These people are responsible for ensuring that the game comes to fruition, meets milestones, and ships. There's also going to be a team of marketers!Someone has to make sure we hear about GTA:V! This can be both internal and out sourced to agencies who build advertising campaigns for the game.There's also going to be a team of tools developers!From building the internal asset pipeline, to ensuring that the assets are loaded into the engine properly, there will be someone dedicated to keeping the engine and tools greased up and oiled. There's also going to be a team of network developers!Someone has to develop a system to handle packets, make sure the servers work, and that the multiplayer functions. There's also going to be a team of game designers, writers, etc!Who comes up with the story? Who builds the game mechanics? Who comes up with the missions? Who writes the narrative? There's also going to be a team of artists, animators, ui designers!Someone has to make the art for the game?There's going to be the legal department.Everything has to be analyzed by a legal department to make sure that GTA:V doesn't come under suit for bsignNowing something that was unintentional. There's also going to be a team of voice over actors, sound designers, and sound developers!Get that sound in the game! Someone is going to have to produce the music, foley effects for the game, and then someone is going to have to handle coding those sounds into the game.There's also going to be a team of mocap'rs, and other people too!Time for the green screen action in Hollywood. People are going to have to dress up in Skeltor suits with balls stuck all over them to get the most realistic rendering and capture of walking animations, combat punches, and what not. There's also going to be someone at Sony, Microsoft, ESRB.Someone has to make sure the game is up to compliance with their next gen and current gen software. That Rockstar has met there guidelines for mastering the game. For every infraction made against compliance, Rockstar can be fined by ESRB, and or Microsoft. During this period, mastering falls to the lead producers. There's also going to be a team of Quality Assurance testers!It's time for a bughunt! Typo spotted in the French translation of the game? Game stops loading after Xbox One's middle button is pressed and switched to profile 2? I fell through the worlds geometry and am now floating in space. There is going to be a large team of QA tester and several QA leads who will ensure that severe bugs are not shipped when the game hits release. There's also going to be a team of Translators, ESRB compliance testers, etc. Since the game is going to be distributed worldwide there's going to have to be a team for translators, voice actors who speak in different languages, and localization personal. There will be people responsible for the compliance testing for signNowing the game in certain regions.There's going to be a team for something I missed. If you've got the gist of all "There's going to be a team of______". There's a lot of people and teams who have to work together to make something this big. Teams that specialize in coding, tools coding, art, concept art, sound, localization, ui, ux, game design, etc. In conclusion.As you can see there's a lot that goes into producing a game. Whether you're making a small game, or large game such as GTA. There's a lot involved from handling code, to visual design, all the way to good UX through game feel, emotioneering, etc. There's a lot that goes into producing games. With a plethora of teams in which I'm positive I've probably didn't mention above, along with some other resources that I've skirted around. Building a game the scale of this magnitude is no easy task. Plenty of teams and a collective hundreds of thousands of man hours just to make a game for our enjoyment is what goes into building a game this large. So, the next time the credits roll up in any game you're playing, -please don't skip them-, take a moment to thank the people that made that said game possible and just remember how hard it is to make any game whether small or large.

I think that we all agree that the days of manual prospecting are long gone. If you automate your prospecting efforts you can save a lot of time and money, and streamline your whole sales process. But, since there are lots of prospecting tools in the market, it can be hard to figure out which ones are good and which ones you should avoid.I’ll give you a couple of suggestions based on the tools I used.Email Hunter is a decent little program that can extract a list of every single one company email. All you need to enter is a company domain, and you will soon be able to email any person from a company. You can use either its dedicated Chrome plugin, or you can do your search by means of their browser version. This program can come in really handy if you want to find the email of a particular decision maker and get in touch with them directly.HeadsignNow is another interesting tool that offers more options than Email Hunter as it has some advanced search features. This means that you can search prospects based on various criteria such as name, company, title, or website. You can also expect to find your prospects’ social media handles and memorize your search logs.Autoklose isn’t your average prospecting tool, mainly because it offers much more. It’s actually a sales automation platform that can dramatically speed up your sales cycle, and prospecting is just one of the weapons in its arsenal. Apart from automating your prospecting efforts and saving you a tremendous amount of time, Autoklose will make your job and life easier by automating your email marketing efforts, amplifying your follow-ups, providing you with detailed campaign stats and metrics, and streamlining numerous dull, repetitive tasks that have to be done during the sales process.When it comes to prospecting, Autoklose allows you several powerful methods of filling your funnel with quality leads.Upload your own reliable contacts from .CSV files and Autoklose will import the information in the database so that you can make lists according to various parameters, and additionally segment them in order to create customized outsignNow campaigns and improve your open and click-through rates;Connect your Salesforce account and sync the data with Autoklose thus growing your internal database. What’s great about this platform is that it prevents you from sending the same email to the same person twice;Gain access to a huge B2B leads database and find prospects from virtually any industry. I was impressed with the abundance of prospects that I could actually contact. This database is managed by Autoklose’s reliable third-party providers, and it’s absolutely clean and packed with verified, complete, and updated contact information.It’s clear that Autoklose gives you a plenty of prospecting options, and the fact that you can search for your potential customers by using different parameters makes it in a way similar to HeadsignNow, but one of the main and most important differences is that Autoklose provides you with validated data which undergoes a meticulous 50-point data-scrub, meaning that every missing field is filled in, and every email, phone number, address, and job title is checked both manually and through the proprietary technology. To cut the long story short, Autoklose keeps you covered and gives your prospecting a big boost.

NiramaiCo-Founders, NiramaiThis Bengaluru-based deep tech startup provides breast cancer screening solution using AI. It is a non-contact, non-invasive, radiation-free method of detecting early stage breast cancer in women of all age groups. The core technology by the company called Thermalytix is a fusion of sophisticated ML algorithms over thermal images. The patented algorithms automate the process of analysing the 400,000 temperature values measured per person. Unique thermal patterns and image characteristics that are typically used by medical professionals while detecting cancer in other modalities like XRay or Ultrasound are also used to make the report accurate as well as understandable by the radiologist.The Founding Team: It was founded by Geetha Manjunatha (CEO) and Nidhi Mathur (COO), after they saw their loved ones suffering with cancer in their family and felt deeply about solving this problem. This led to the creation of NIRAMAI, which in Sanskrit means being without diseases. It also expands to “Non-Invasive Risk Assessment through Machine Intelligence”.They build fully automated website chatbots, mobile chat applications and RPA( Robotic process automation) tools for internal business processess for clients across e-commerce, travel, media and fintech. Flipkart, ESPN and MSIG insurance are some of their clients.Supertext AICo-Founders, Supertext AIAt Supertext, they believe that communicating with a business or service can be and should be as easy as chatting with a friend — personalised, contextual and fun. Therefore they primarily focus to offer their clients the ability to integrate and add conversational intelligence to answer queries and build persona based virtual agents for Internal business processs automation and Automated front desk customer engagement . The chatbots are designed and developed on their custom AI platform with real-time data analytics, where they have the ability to create and pass tickets via ITSM to support team, have full visibility on bot responses, NLP (natural language processing) training and user interaction historThe Founding Team: It was founded in December 2015 by Avinash Hegde (director), Mathew J Padayatty (director) and Kamalkamman J. The founders realised that though local vendors were building entire businesses by merely chatting with their potential customers over WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger but struggled to scale as they were unable to continue servicing them or build required internal business processes. They wanted to try and solve this by automating business processes at a scale using forward-leaning technologies like Natural language processing and ML. They raised an angel funding from investors in Bengaluru and Singapore.Netradyne co-founder Avneesh Agrawal. Photo: Hemant Mishra/Mint.Netradyne, Bengaluru and San Diego, USInvestment: Raised $16 million (around Rs102.8 crore) from Reliance Industries Ltd in June 2016.The team: Founded by Avneesh Agrawal, a former Qualcomm Inc. president for India and South Asia, and David Julian, a former principal engineer at the US-based chip-maker.Intelligence factor: Netradyne’s Driveri, a powerful camera that analyses driving patterns and can help determine the cause of an accident. The soap-bar-sized device is attached to a vehicle’s rear-view mirror and rests on the inside of the windscreen, pointing towards the road.In July 2015, Agrawal, along with his long-time friend and colleague Julian, set up Netradyne, wanting to tackle that intractable problem of the modern world—road accidents.Netradyne’s main product is Driveri, which packs in four high-definition cameras generating 360-degree footage of the vehicle’s path (transmitted on a real-time LTE network), has a global positioning system, gyroscope sensors and accelerometer, and a Nvidia processor, the same one that is used in the iPhone 5. The unit captures visuals of the car’s surroundings, analyses driving patterns and stores the data on a cloud platform.It uses machine learning and deep-learning systems to analyse the entire scene in front of the car: traffic lights, stop signs, objects in its course, distance to every other vehicle, relative speeds and direction.The data generated enables the platform to determine whether the driver is overspeeding or driving rashly, adhering to traffic rules, is potentially drowsy or drunk, or taking multiple halts along the route. In the event of an accident, it also sends real-time alerts to the fleet operator.According to Agrawal, similar technology is used to power autonomous car projects across the world, such as those being developed by Google (Alphabet Inc.), Uber Inc., Robert Bosch GmbH and large car-makers like Toyota, Volkswagen Group and Daimler AG.After testing the product for over 750,000 miles (around 1.2 million kilometres), Netradyne launched Driveri in the US market in March and plans to launch it in India by June-July. It recently signed its first US client, Load One, a mid-sized cargo company that operates a fleet of 350 trucks. The solution is also useful for retail customers like parents of first-time teenage drivers.Agrawal says Netradyne’s main focus currently is to ensure driver safety. The product is being marketed to commercial fleet operators to enable them to monitor drivers and enhance the safety of cargo.“Using the solution, fleet managers can train drivers on safe driving practices, besides maintaining a close check on valuable cargo.... They can also create a scorecard for drivers and incentivize them on safe driving,” says Agrawal.Agrawal, whose company employs around 60 people, expects Driveri customers to see a signNow reduction in the number of traffic violations and accidents; in turn, safer driving would result in greater fuel efficiency and lower maintenance costs.The other big market is insurance.“What we are essentially doing is quantifying risk,” Agrawal says. His plan is to bring Driveri to every car in the world with insurance partners who agree to use its data for investigating accidents and deciding on a more accurate premium amountEmbibe founder Aditi AvasthiEmbibe, BengaluruInvestment: $9 million from venture capital investors such as Kalaari Capital and Lightbox.The team: Founded by Aditi Avasthi, a former Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Barclays executive.Intelligence factor: In a country where the overall quality of education consistently lags behind those in developed nations, Embibe’s core AI product can be a game changer.In the book (and movie) Moneyball, a baseball coach and an economics graduate from Harvard use an analytics engine to ditch decades of baseball practice and identify a world-class team that ends up breaking numerous Major League Baseball records. Major teams end up adopting the model.Embibe is hoping to create a similar impact in the world of education.Its learning platform is being used by thousands of students and the start-up is in talks to ally with educational training centres. Embibe, which runs a website and a mobile app, collects data from students, charging only for advanced analysis and personalized learning recommendations. Students can actually improve test scores by fixing basic mistakes using its AI platform.For instance, Embibe’s First Look Accuracy metric trains students to maximize scores in a given test by first answering the questions they can attempt confidently and then moving on to the tougher ones.Another metric, “‘Time Spent On Questions Not Answered’, indicates no confidence, an inability to know what you know yourself. You’re unsure of your ability. This value is actually 41 minutes for Indian kids for the IIT exams out of 180 minutes—in an exam where 1 mark is almost equivalent to 10,000 ranks. So, think about it—if you’re able to bring this value down by 50%, the scores automatically trend up,” explains Avasthi.The company says it has identified 27 parameters that can, for instance, predict scores in an IIT entrance exam with 93% accuracy.To get the bulk of data that its core cloud-based platform crunches, the start-up bought 100Marks, another ed-tech start-up, in 2015.Embibe uses advanced-level analytics besides its core AI engine, including self-learning algorithms, machine learning and cognitive computing akin to IBM’s Watson. It started out as an analytics company in 2012 and began using AI and machine learning tools in 2014 in an effort to create personalized solutions for individual students.Embibe started with a 40-member team that was primarily responsible for content creation; now it’s down to just three. The cost of creating content is down “from the high hundreds to Rs20 per unit of content through automation,” says Avasthi, who has hired three machine learning and AI experts from top companies, including IBM.Tricog Health Services co-founder Charit Bhograj.Tricog Health Services PVT. LTD, BengaluruInvestment: $2 million from Inventus Capital Partners, Blume Ventures and angel investors.The team: Charit Bhograj, a cardiologist; Zainul Charbiwala, who worked at IBM India and Qualcomm; Udayan Dasgupta, who worked at Texas Instruments; and Abhinav Gujjar, who worked at Thomson Reuters and Microsoft.Intelligence factor: What can take up to 6 hours before treatment starts, Tricog accomplishes in a few minutes.Nearly 7.5 million people die every year of heart disease. Around 1.5-3 million of them are in India; half of them can be saved by early diagnosis, according to Bhograj.“Yet almost 70% of the general physicians do not have an ECG (electrocardiography) machine,” he adds.ECG—a heart health test—is conducted through a machine which records the heart’s electrical movement. These machines are not widely available in India, nor are there enough cardiologists to interpret ECG data. And it can take up to 6 hours before a patient is diagnosed and sent for treatment, says Bhograj.So Tricog set out to help doctors make instant diagnoses of heart attacks and ensure treatment is not delayed.While Tricog sources ECG machines from General Electric Healthcare, it has built its own sensory device and fits it on the machines. It gives these devices to general physicians, clinics and nursing homes on a subscription basis. Through the Internet, this device sends the ECG or recorded heart movement to a set of algorithms, which then generates a report. Before the report is sent, a specialist doctor verifies it.In 2016, Tricog processed the ECG reports of 200,000 patients; about 11,000 of them were diagnosed with a heart attack. The company claims it has never reported false results.Yet, given the stakes, Bhograj reasons that “no matter how accurate the algorithm gets, there will always be a specialist (cardiologist) to verify the report churned out by it.”Founded in 2011, the company spent close to four years putting the technology together and launched the product in February 2015. As of April, Tricog had 600 clients (general physicians, clinics and nursing homes) across 178 cities and towns, and 20 specialist doctors, including clinical cardiologists, who study the reports. In the next five years, Tricog aims to be present in 100,000 locations—it claims that though such a scale would ordinarily require around 700 doctors, it would be able to deliver comparable service with only 50 doctors.Tricog Health Services co-founder Charit Bhograj.Tricog Health Services PVT.

The two had co-founded PinChat, a location-based conversational platform, in August 2014.Intelligence factor: Locus has developed route-planning algorithms so companies can chart the best possible route to deliver an order and allow a salesperson to cover the maximum number of points in the shortest time possible.Locus aims to automate all the human decisions involved in sending a package. With clients such as Hindustan Unilever, Quikr, Urban Ladder and Lenskart, it has a lot on its hands.The company, which says it has more than 25 clients, has developed a route-planning engine, its core business, apart from a 3D packing engine that provides configurations for loading cargo into containers. Locus also offers companies a weekly schedule of the most efficient routes and outlets for their sales teams.Rastogi says each schedule planned by their routing engine takes 5-10 minutes, whereas a skilled human being would take 1-4 hours to process the same data. The company says it helps its clients reduce their logistics costs by at least 25%.Locus offers solutions for both intracity and intercity operations. It estimates the domestic freight industry is around $100 billion; a bulk of this is intercity logistics.Planning the best possible route is not as easy as it sounds. “In many cases, we will have a landmark and street name with a wrong pin code. We have to convert this information into latitude and longitude. For this, our systems need to understand and interpret the English language and build natural language processing systems,” says Rastogi.“Let us say you have to deliver a package before hitting the gym at 6pm. But if you signNow the gym 5 minutes late, that is also fine. How do I make the system understand that it is better to signNow the gym by 6.05pm instead of not delivering the package at all? In the real world, if a truck is full, the driver can keep one package next to his seat. It is important in the real world to understand what that soft threshold is. It is important for the system to understand this world fuzziness,” explains Rastogi.Companies provide Locus the origin of the package, destination and expected time of delivery. Locus sources all the possible routes from Google Maps or sifts through data on past deliveries. This data is then processed, factoring in weather information, traffic, historical data on time taken to cover the distance, etc. to arrive at a few best routes. If the client is new, logistics solutions take about three months.Are the companies willing to wait? “We haven’t lost a single client yet,” says RastogiNiki - India's Own Chatbot For Online Transactions | Making It As Simple As Talking To A Friend’s founders (from left) Sachin Jaiswal, Nitin Babel, Keshav Prawasi and Shishir Modi.

LTD), BengaluruInvestment: Niki - India's Own Chatbot For Online Transactions | Making It As Simple As Talking To A Friend raised undisclosed seed investments from Ronnie Screwvala’s Unilazer Ventures, Tata Sons chairman emeritus Ratan Tata and Haresh Chawla of True North between October 2015 and December 2016. Niki - India's Own Chatbot For Online Transactions | Making It As Simple As Talking To A Friend declined to disclose the quantum of funds raised.The team: Founded by four Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, alumni. Before starting the venture, Sachin Jaiswal, chief executive officer at Niki - India's Own Chatbot For Online Transactions | Making It As Simple As Talking To A Friend, had co-founded InnovAccer Inc., a healthcare analytics company in the US. Technology head Keshav Prawasi was a software engineer at Amazon; Nitin Babel, who looks after support and marketing, worked for Ipsos, a global market and opinion research firm; and business head Shishir Modi came from a stint at a multinational energy distribution company.Intelligence factor: Niki is used for over 20 services, including hotel, cab and movie ticket bookings, ordering food and paying bills. If you’re rude, it will reprimand you and can even block you.Chatbots—like Apple’s Siri and Google’s Allo—are essentially computer programs that make human-like conversation with users.Banks, retailers and others use chatbots to answer basic customer queries and help users navigate their websites.Niki, one of the early chatbots developed in India, is designed to serve as a virtual shopkeeper that assists in the purchase of products and services. It can help you book a cab, order food from the nearest restaurant, book tickets for movies and events, and pay general utility bills. Flight bookings, payments for insurance and courier services will be introduced soon.Niki was conceived in early 2015 and rolled out to customers in October that year.It works on a series of sophisticated algorithms that understand human language by breaking it down into structured queries that the machine can understand. Another set of codes then generates a response relevant to the query, and this goes on till the task is accomplished.The core of the platform rests on language-recognition systems. “We started with off-the-shelf solutions like Stanford CoreNLP and went on to develop our own custom models,” says Babel.These were developed by studying the interactions on Niki and constantly tweaking algorithms to accurately determine what the user is looking for.Currently, Niki has over 300,000 users; 50-60% of them are in the age group of 24-35, 20-30% in the 18-24 age group, and about 10% are over 35.“We have been collecting the conversational commerce data for Indian customers for the last two years. Close to 50 million interactions have happened on Niki and have been used to improve the accuracy from 50-60% to 90%,” says Babel.He says the company earns revenue by charging a commission on each service or product purchased on Niki.Earlier this year, the company launched a software development kit that allows other sites and apps to integrate Niki with their platforms. It is available on HDFC Bank’s OnChat, the Oxigen Wallet app and the operating system of Intex smartphones (as the LFTY feature). The company will launch 20 more partnerships soonhttp://Active.ai’s co-founder Ravi Shankar.

Narayanan and Paspulati are Singapore-based, where the company is headquartered; more than half the workforce is based in Bengaluru.Intelligence factor: Let’s say, you need to know your account balance and don’t really have the time to walk into an ATM or even look into the bank’s app. Send a message to the bank through Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp and you will get the reply. Chances are high that your bank is using http://Active.ai platform, an intelligent interface that allows banks and consumers to connect over chat.Photo: Hemant Mishra/MintShankar, Narayanan and Paspulati have all worked with banks and fintech start-ups. Perhaps naturally then, http://Active.ai wants to improve customer engagement for banks and insurance companies.“Say you type, I lost my wallet. What will the bank understand? There is no transaction for ‘lost my wallet’. The system will understand that it means all the cards are gone. The bank will say I will block your card,” says Shankar. “Now, let’s say you are at an airport. The bank will say, ‘Looks like you are at an airport and travelling. Can we help you with a (travel) insurance policy?’ The ability to hold this conversation is what we bring to banks.”According to Shankar, http://Active.ai will help banks almost halve their customer engagement costs.http://Active.ai essentially offers a platform that has chatbots through which banks can interact with customers.The more customers interact, the more the Artificial Intelligence behind http://Active.ai’s platform will learn about them and the better it will be able to offer personalized advice and service, increasing customer engagement and loyalty.Usage for consumers can range from opening an account and getting balance information, to transferring money to other accounts or paying bills. Banks, on the other hand, can push relevant products and services, drawing on the data available on customer history.The bot can be integrated via various channels, including WeChat, LINE, Kakao Talk, Facebook Messenger, Amazon Echo and Siri. Largely, the company sources data from banks and other partner financial institutions, apart from Envestnet | Yodlee, a data aggregation and analytics platform.http://Active.ai has developed algorithms that can convert unstructured messages, i.e. input by consumers, into structured instructions for banks using natural language processing and machine learning.“Say you are typing on Facebook. This is unstructured messaging. We convert that into entities and intent. For instance, you type, ‘I want to know what is happening in my account.’ Here, entity is the account and intent is ‘I want to know’. Our algorithm captures this and it then figures out the context. That is the third component. So the system will think this guy has an account and wants to know what is happening there, I should get his balance,” explains Shankar.In India, the company counts Axis Bank as a client; deals with several others are in the pipeline. It says it has already signed up with banks in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. Discussions with banks in North America are under way, says Shankar.“Apart from reducing the costs of customer engagement, banks can cross-sell or upsell. It helps them retain customers with higher engagement and client service levels. It also helps banks signNow out to new consumers, especially the youth, via chat,” he adds.Having started with the banking sector, http://Active.ai now plans to work with insurance companies to boost customer engagement.SigTuple’s founding team (from left) Tathagato Rai Dastidar, Rohit Kumar Pandey and Apurv Anand.

A delay of even half an hour can result in loss of life; and a wrong diagnosis could prove tragic. SigTuple is looking to address both these issues through its AI-powered Manthana platform, which can, among other things, analyse blood samples and generate medical reports in less than 10 minutes—and with complete accuracy, according to Pandey, who is also the chief executive officer.“From the moment someone signNowes the labs and provides a blood sample, the total time taken for the generation of a report and review by a pathologist is less than 10 minutes,” says Pandey.Manthana is being used by a number of mid- to large-sized hospitals, diagnostics labs, and eyecare and healthcare chains. Among their prominent clients is Anand Diagnostic Labs, one of Bengaluru’s biggest chains, which uses one of SigTuple’s digitization tools to analyse blood samples.Now the team is working towards making Manthana available for a complete diagnosis.Photo: Hemant Mishra/MintAt present, Manthana can analyse blood, semen and urine samples—Pandey says the platform is capable of generating complete blood reports, which typically analyse 21 different parameters, including red and white blood cell count and platelets. For example, SigTuple has used the AI-powered platform to analyse a blood sample to catch a malarial parasite, says Pandey.Accuracy is another area that the team hopes to improve on—currently, SigTuple’s accuracy rates differ for different solutions. For instance, accuracy rates for urine samples stand at around 85-88%.For SigTuple, evolving from traditional analytics to machine learning was a crucial pivot, since it wanted to create tools that could analyse medical cases, just like a doctor would.“Earlier, the algorithms that were being used, as soon as they saw new data, the results used to get skewed. With the advancement of AI, as more and more new data keeps coming in, the machine continues to learn—like humans. And it starts generating solutions, which was not possible with traditional algorithms,” says Pandey.The limitations of traditional algorithms were addressed by machine learning, where a machine is trained to mimic a human brain—somewhat like IBM’s Watson.For example, a hospital chain which wants to open a lab in a tier-II or tier-III city usually has to spend hundreds of crores of rupees on hardware, equipment and medical experts.With SigTuple’s platforms such as Manthana, hospitals can scale up in smaller cities and towns. Since it also eliminates the need for labs to ship blood samples to different locations, it helps diagnostic chains save on logistical costs and, more crucially, time.“There is no need for a manual review by a pathologist by putting a slide under a microscope. Second, remote diagnosis is made possible, because the pathologist need not be sitting next to the microscope or blood slide. No shipping is required—the pathologist can be anywhere,” says Pandey.SigTuple gets most of its data from the labs and hospitals that it works with. Over the next year, a top priority for the company is to gather more data through more such partnerships to improve the accuracy of Manthana.

A lot of “marketing gurus” have been psignNowing that “blogging is dead.” The truth is that it’s not: blogging has simply morphed and changed into a much broader category. Where and how you start your blog has become very different than what it used to be.Challenges faced in bloggingThe reason why internet marketers say blogging “is dead” is because people are still spending time and energy writing blog posts on their personal website but not getting the organic traffic that they’re used to.  There’s nothing wrong with having a blog on a personal website--I have one. But the problem is that nobody knows how to drive traffic to their site to read their writing in the first place. Nobody is doing the work to master the art of SEO, or Facebook dark posts, or Pinterest, or answering questions on Quora or anything else that can drive to their personal blog or website.Social networking as a blogThink about it: Starting a blog has never been easier with Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, and Medium.Social media has become a new version of blogging. Take Twitter for example. Twitter was known flatout as a microblogging platform. Now people are using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Medium to get them more exposure than a just posting on a personal website does. As a matter of fact, I’m even asking people to write book reviews on Instagram for the #AskGaryvee Book instead of on their personal blog. My advice would be to try putting out native content on the platforms that make most sense for you and your audience. Then, start engaging with those who you think should see it.Driving Traffic to your BlogWhat has happened over the last decade is that the attention graph, the visualization of where people’s attention is right at this very moment and where can you meet them, is shifting. People’s willingness to jump somewhere to consume content is certainly not down, but their willingness to leave the platform they are already engaging on (Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat) is. To get them to click out, you have to be smart. Really smart.Jab,Jab,Jab, Right Hook - Being Smart about itSomething I’m really passionate about (and I’d like to think my book Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook helped with this) is that social shouldn’t be used purely for awareness. It’s true that that’s part of what social media is there for, and that’s great, and it’s fun to create “viral content”, but it’s massively naive for companies to ignore social’s DR and sales capabilities. I’m excited to see more and more brands throwing right hooks (which is to say going in for the ask) and treating social media as a way to funnel in viewers, and not just broad awareness platforms. It’s not about putting out as much content out there as you can. It’s about learning what drives your users. Find out what they care about and engage with them.Remember: Just because you jab and jab and jab, doesn’t mean you’re automatically going to drive audience members to your blog. It just allows you to have the audacity to drive them there. Putting out great content and see what resonates with your audience.To Sum it all up, while the term “blogging” has evolved to become more than just having a personal blog or website, don’t feel like you need to abandon traditional blogging. Instead, learn how you can use these social media to drive traffic to your site. Try engaging your audience using social media to really understand what drives your users. Start by putting out great content nuggets on the platforms that make the most sense for you and your audience. Test headlines, test out different syndication platforms. The bottom line is that you can’t just blog and expect people to come to you. The key is that you need to start engaging with those who you think should see it.
