Topic/ Title: The Future of Public Speaking with A.I.

Description: The public release of generative A.I. tools such as ChatGPT and Midjourney has sparked our imagination on the applications of A.I. in our daily lives. A.I. tools are now widely available that can create stories, generate images, clone our voices and much more.

What does this mean for human interactions? We still need to communicate to convey our thoughts and ideas. Effective communication requires us to develop our public speaking skills which requires practice and feedback. Without effective (and immediate) feedback, we can never understand if our speech will create the impact we desire.

With Yoodli (app.yoodli.ai), you have a judgement-free speech coach by your side, highlighting things you did well and suggesting areas of improvement.

Top 3 Takeaways:

1. The significant impact of A.I. on our daily lives
2. Application of A.I. for improving communication skills
3. The future of A.I. is still being written, presenting challenges and opportunities ahead.
