Online video calls are a staple in today’s working world. As society progresses towards a new normal, where remote and hybrid roles are more prevalent, businesses are leveraging AI to enhance the online meeting experience. Since we must accept remote work as a new reality in our lives (in fact, a study done by Upwork projects that over 20% of jobs will be fully remote by 2025), we ought to look towards the future with an eye for what is possible.

Defined.ai offers AI developers hours of video call data, ready for your models, along with thousands of hours of other types of training data. Check out our Marketplace today.

Remote and Hybrid Work Models: an opportunity for technology

While some see remote and hybrid work models as a reduction in organizational efficiency and a fracturing of office camaraderie, it also represents a huge opportunity. Technology can be built on top of this partially untapped data source to free up workers’ time that could otherwise be directed toward core responsibilities or maintaining work-life balance.

2. “Vibe Check!” — Sentiment Analysis: Want to know the overall mood during your team’s video calls? Voci Technologies provides AI that can analyze meeting transcriptions and give you a sentiment report, helping you improve team dynamics and boost morale. This has been a longstanding concern for large companies with distributed workforces, with companies like Apple acquiring startups like Emotient all the way back in 2016.

3. “Let’s all Optimize!” — Meeting Efficiency Optimization: Companies like Klaxoon make AI systems that can analyze the length of meetings, identify how much time is spent on each topic, and suggest ways to streamline meetings to minimize wasted time. Additionally, it can analyze meeting agendas, identify areas where more time could be allocated to certain topics, and suggest changes to make the agenda more effective.

4. “Personalized Pronunciation, Please!” — Personalized Speech Recognition: Tired of speech recognition software misinterpreting your accent? SoundHound’s Houndify is a speech recognition platform that can improve transcription accuracy in online meetings through its personalized approach. It adapts to each user’s voice and speech patterns, making it possible to transcribe speech correctly even in noisy environments, and offers natural language understanding capabilities for more seamless communication.
