Challenges

The development presented several challenges that the MDS team had to overcome to meet the project’s requirements. One major challenge was ensuring that the AI sounded and acted as human-like as possible. To achieve this, the team utilized a large bank of pre-recorded answers and developed custom machine learning algorithms and AI models to provide accurate responses in real-time. Another significant challenge was implementing live AI coaching, where the AI needed to give real-time feedback on user calls, suggest best practices, and provide corrective feedback. This was successfully addressed through the creation of custom AI models and machine learning algorithms, enabling the AI to deliver effective, real-time coaching to users.

Solution Scope and Services

To ensure success, the application needed to be secure, robust, intuitive and able to handle a high volume of users. This is in addition to the requirement for the platform to be AI driven which would give the users the impression they are communicating with a real person, both verbally and via text. The platform enables administrators/managers to set assignments for their subordinates and be notified of their progress.


Assignments were of two types:

  • Practice

Via email, a trainee is assigned a practice video to watch and then to create one of their own on the same topic. To complete this task, the employee must record themselves simulating a conversation with the help of an AI bot. This bot features extremely lifelike conversation skills and is able to convey situational urgency via their tone of voice.

 

  • View Type

The trainee is asked to view a training video and then answer a survey which would then quiz their understanding of that video.

In both cases, it is possible to detect if the trainee skipped any part of the video. The survey would only be provided to the trainee if they view 100% of the video assigned to them.

Front-End Development

MDS developed an intuitive Front-end experience for the proposed platform primarily using JavaScript and JQuery. HTML5 was used to integrate multimedia recording and screen capturing facilities.

02

Back-End Development

To facilitate all the functions required by our client, a capable and robust backend was created which could sustain the platform and scale according to demand.

 

The BE web platform/site is primarily based on PHP integrated seamlessly with MySQL.

 

A combo of AWS Lambda and NodeJS are used for scheduling services as well as Video Analytics. The backbone of the AI Features is created using MS Cognitive Services.

 

To ensure robust security for the platform, personalized Amazon services were utilized to encrypt all data.

 

In addition to HTML5, Webrtc, Wowza engine was utilized for multimedia recording.
