Improve tool-calling accuracy, response consistency, and the reliability of multi-step conversational workflows.
Experiment with model fine-tuning and other optimisation techniques to enhance performance.
Conversation Design and Workflow Development
Design conversational workflows, dialogue systems, intents, and interaction patterns for voice-based applications.
Improve conversation handling, context retention, error recovery, and response relevance.
Develop tool-augmented LLM applications and agentic workflows that can execute tasks and interact with external systems.
Analyse conversation outcomes and user interactions to identify opportunities for improvement.
Data Processing and Model Evaluation
Work with large-scale conversational datasets, including text, call transcripts, and audio data.
Develop data processing, cleaning, preparation, and evaluation pipelines for AI model development.
Establish evaluation frameworks to measure response quality, relevance, latency, accuracy, and task completion.
Conduct experiments and analyse model outputs to identify performance gaps and validate improvements.
AI Safety, Reliability, and Production Deployment
Implement strategies to mitigate hallucinations, bias, unsafe responses, and privacy risks.
Improve the reliability, robustness, and consistency of AI-powered conversational systems.
Collaborate with Product, ML Engineering, and Platform teams to deploy and maintain AI solutions in production.
Monitor system performance and continuously improve models, pipelines, and conversational experiences.
Explore emerging technologies, including multimodal AI models and advanced agentic systems.
