🧑‍💻 What are we doing?

At Kaizo, we're not just building a platform - we're creating a dynamic ecosystem that actively guides employees to achieve their goals and make a lasting impact on their organizations. Our focus is on revolutionizing the daily work experience for customer support teams through a performance development and compliance platform that combines cutting-edge AI technologies with gamification.

• AI-Powered Engagement: We're leveraging cutting-edge AI technologies to improve operational efficiency, enhance team performance, and provide unparalleled performance visibility. Our goal is to make the daily work experience more engaging, fun, and productive for customer support agents, quality assurance professionals, and team leaders.
• Stream Processing Excellence: Built on a microservices-based stream processing platform, we process over 200 million events per day using cutting-edge technologies such as Akka Streams and Kafka. Our services, deployed on Kubernetes in Google Cloud, seamlessly feed data into ElasticSearch, MongoDB, and Google BigQuery.
• Developing the Future: Our team is at the forefront of developing AI systems that are not only scalable, affordable, and interpretable but also flexible and empowering. We're pursuing real-time solutions that redefine the way compliance monitoring is done.
• Our journey is not without its challenges, and we embrace them as opportunities for innovation:
  • Scalability Quest: Processing approximately 10 tickets per second requires solutions with lightning-fast inference speeds. We're working on LLMs that match GPT's accuracy but operate at an unparalleled speed.
  • Cost Efficiency Mandate: Dealing with large ticket volumes requires economically feasible solutions that do not scale linearly in terms of cost with the expected volume. We're on a mission to optimize efficiency and resource utilization.
  • Accuracy Triumph: Our compliance engine aims for maximum accuracy while maintaining a conservative approach to predictions. 
  • Data Privacy Conundrum: The presence of sensitive PII in our customers' data adds a layer of complexity. We're addressing the challenge of fine-tuning models on raw data while upholding the highest standards of data privacy and security.
  • Data Diversity Voyage: Dealing with diverse data formats, from text and raw speech to metadata and tabular data, presents its own set of challenges. We navigate this diversity to ensure our solutions are adaptable and comprehensive.
