PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT: Ida Digital Assistant Release 22.01

Ida Logo

The next release of Ida, our digital assistant, will be available April, 2022. Clients can talk to their account teams about a deployment schedule that works for you.

22.01 in Summary

There are two big, new features in this release of Ida. The first is called Ida Suggestions. Users of digital assistants tend to ask questions only when they have a problem. It is a very reactive pattern that is hard to break. This behavioral trend can be a barrier to discovering new ways the digital assistant can help you. We are focused on flipping this dynamic to a more proactive model where Ida routinely adds value to your user’s days. Ida Suggestions is a new, proactive feature which will suggest to users ways in which Ida can help. Whether it is what is popular lately to what is seasonally relevant, Ida will give you that little nudge to solve your issue before you even know you have a question.

The second feature of note is a new Feedback Loop mode called, High Value Mode. When High Value Mode is enabled, Ida will algorithmically target certain interactions where you can focus ratings/annotations for maximum value to the machine learning. We expect this mode to provide 10x more value per hour spent rating which ultimately will save our clients a ton of time while keeping the accuracy very high.

The release also includes routine fixes, new reports, training materials and catalog updates.
