Angel.ai: Natural language search for commerce (formerly GoButler)

What, this is interesting. GoButler is now Angel.ai and is opening up its technology and "can process conversational requests across 40-plus commercial domains out of the box, providing businesses with an off-the-shelf solution to facilitate natural language-powered transactions." “The objective with GoButler as a product was to figure out how people interact through conversational commerce, gathering millions of examples of how people express intent in a natural language message. From there, we used our human-assisted concierge to develop our AI and help train our models, aggregating the data from conversations to build out our data set,” Navid Hadzaad, CEO and co-founder of Angel.ai, tells TechCrunch. I'll be diving into this (and related topics) with Navid tomorrow at the M1 Summit in New York, along with Thomas Smyth (Co-Founder & CEO of Trim), Thomas Hadfield (CEO of Prompt), Marah Lidey (Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Shine Text) mad Matthew Hartman (Director of Seed Investments at Betaworks)!

Love their mission but as an end customer it was disappointing. I tried their flight search feature and it didn't add any value. Doing the search on Kayak would have been more efficient.

@parisivy00 We don't have any consumer facing product implemented yet, so I'm wondering what you are comparing the Kayak experience to - if you are comparing it to the demo, it's really comparing Apples to Bananas as our demo is a pure demonstration of our NLP capabilities. I can guarantee, however, that there are many, many use cases where typing your intent out in natural language is going to be faster and simpler than translating that intent into a GUI.
