Sramana Mitra: Let’s double-click down on a number of things. Where in the workflow are you really adding value with artificial intelligence? You may have read my interview with Ashu Garg from Eightfold, which is also an HR tech AI solution. Where is your value-add and how?
Sanjoe Tom Jose: Our focus is on helping customers bring down time-to-hire in the screening and selection process. We focus on customers in two segments.
>>>We’ve been covering AI in the HR tech space. You may have read our Eightfold AI story. Talview is another application in the same space. Sanjoe also points to possible white spaces you can look into.
Sramana Mitra: Let’s start by having you introduce yourself and Talview to our audience.
Sanjoe Tom Jose: I’m one of the co-founders and also the CEO of Talview. Talview is headquartered in Palo Alto. We are trying to build a new category in the recruitment tech space. Talview is my third startup and my second startup in the space.

>>>Virtual reality wunderkind Palmer Luckey has had a checkered past. He was responsible for setting up Oculus and selling it to Facebook. But soon after, he was involved in the controversy involving trade secret violations surrounding the development of Oculus. That was soon followed by news of his political donations for anti-Hilary campaigns. While there is no confirmation, there is strong belief that his political beliefs were the cause for his exit from Facebook.

Florian Quarre: The final use case is automated decision making. We’ve gone through defining the data meaning and dictionaries. We’ve gone through digitizing data.
The last stage is executing on the data and start making decisions. One of the use cases that we help enable is making decisions on whether a claim should be paid or rejected.
>>>Florian Quarre: We do have affinity to healthcare, finance, and retail primarily because we try to mix together the techno-functional aspects. On the functional side, quite a few of us either have past experience in healthcare, finance, or retail.
That allows us to understand the problem. It’s easy for us to relate to the problems and bring solutions we wish we had in the past or we know are going to be relevant to them in the future.
>>>In this segment of TLAI, we discuss use cases in life sciences, healthcare, and retail.
Sramana Mitra: Let’s start by introducing our audience to yourself as well as to Exponential Machines.
Florian Quarre: I operate primarily in the field of healthcare technology. I have quite recently joined Exponential AI. Exponential AI is an AI platform focused on accompanying our clients through their digital transformation journey.
