Creating Customer Experience With AI - Lamees Butt

In this episode of Behind The Numbers, Dave is joined by Lamees Butt, the Senior Vice President of Global Alliances and Channels at Zoovu. Lamees joins us all the way from the UK to delve into the fascinating world of AI-driven product discovery.
With over 15 years in the tech industry, Lamees brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from both the corporate and startup worlds. She introduces us to Zoovu, an AI product discovery company that she joined in 2017. Zoovu’s mission is to connect customers with the products they need in the most seamless way possible, translating complex technical specifications into simple, human-friendly language.
Throughout the episode, Lamees provides a deeper understanding of what a product discovery company does. She uses relatable examples, such as shopping for a laptop, to explain how Zoovu’s technology simplifies the online shopping experience. Instead of being overwhelmed by endless product specifications, Zoovu helps customers find the right product through a digital conversation that mimics the experience of talking to a knowledgeable salesperson.
Lamees also discusses the technical aspects of Zoovu’s platform, including their use of ontologies to provide context and understand technical specifications. She highlights the company's partnerships, particularly with SAP, to help B2B customers streamline their complex product sales processes.
The conversation explores the importance of customer engagement and how both B2B and B2C companies use AI to enhance the customer journey. Lamise emphasizes the role of AI in capturing and optimizing sales conversations, ultimately driving better results and customer satisfaction.
The episode also features a deep dive into a case study with Draeger, a medical device manufacturer. Lamise explains how Zoovu helped Draeger digitize their complex product sales process, empowering their customers to make purchases online and unlocking new revenue channels.
In addition to discussing the technical and business aspects, Lamise shares her entrepreneurial journey, from her early days in the fashion tech space to her current role at Zoovu. She provides valuable insights into the importance of innovation and efficiency in doing more with less.
As the episode concludes, Lamees offers her perspective on the future of artificial intelligence and its potential to transform business processes. She encourages listeners to embrace AI as a tool to optimize and improve their operations.
