Why do specialized AI models win in CX?

Many AI models today are designed as generalists. But in customer experience, that approach often falls short.

In this episode of Deep Learning with PolyAI, Nikola Mrkšić sits down with Matt Henderson, VP of Research at PolyAI, to unpack why specialized AI models outperform general-purpose ones in real-world CX environments.

They explore the tradeoffs between speed, accuracy, and reasoning, why voice AI requires fundamentally different design decisions, and what makes PolyAI’s Raven 3.5 a step forward. The conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to build AI that works in production, not just in demos.
