AI and tech business always seem to be data-driven. Wrong, yesterday I was interviewed by an AI Biz co-founder. It was 8pm sharp when the meeting started and Alec Nguyen waved at me. He is the co-founder of Afforai, an AI research tool that emphasizes privacy. Aside from the fact that I love the product and use it multiple times every day, the company has done some things right: - Innovative - Data privacy - Customer-centric - Awesome community Alec was professional and caring. He asked me a few questions about how I use the product, what challenges I have and what I think could improve the experience. Building a customer-centric business is a decision. Dare to ask your customers and users and henlisten. They will tell you everything you want to know. Sometime you need to listen a more carefully. Do you have an other example?
