What part of it is AI?

From a team meeting

When we think about Vetted and what we do as a business, what part of it is AI? Sure, we're using AI to build; that is guaranteed.

When you say your product is an AI product, what exactly are you saying is AI? What is the AI doing in terms of delivering value to your customers?

In reality, Vetted is maybe AI, but the AI is not the real part of what we do. The workflows and the way we built everything is what the product is. AI is just part of it.

Because if you think about it, when candidates record a voice note and we transcribe, sure, we're using AI to transcribe that. But speech to text has existed for ages. The AI part of it is just a simpler way to do it, as opposed to having to build a speech to text engine. So that really isn't the core AI feature.

We're using AI to build, and build quickly and go out to the market quickly. But we're not necessarily shoving AI down the throats of our customers, because really what they care about is the value, not that it's AI.
