Now, with Cuinti, Jérôme is helping sellers, customer support reps, and other customer-facing professionals train for different scenarios using AI. He emphasizes the importance of keeping code modular and adaptable to future changes in the AI landscape. Jérôme also discusses the potential future impact of AI on various industries and the need to focus on generating value beyond just the technology itself.
