Cisco unveils new AI strategy for its Webex videoconference platform
Summary
Users will be able to prompt the Webex AI Assistant with natural language questions and have the tool generate answers in real time. The new tool can also recommend changes to tone, format, phrasing in Webex Messaging and Slido, and suggest responses that are informed by the context of the conversation. Webex and has built-in speech enhancement functions like noise removal, de-reverberation and bandwidth extension, to deliver what the company says is unprecedented audio clarity. Finally, the introduction of Cisco-developed Real-Time Media Models (RMMs) will further enhance the audio and video quality users experience on calls. These RMMs will also allow audio and video channels to be used as signals of context in traditional text-based capabilities, like meeting summaries and highlights.
