8 01732 759725 INNOVATIONS Intuit is building on last year’s launch of Intuit Assist for Mailchimp, an AI-powered tool designed to help marketers send more effective marketing campaigns, with the development of a revenue intelligence (RI) system that uses AI and automation tools to help Mailchimp customers identify untapped revenue. The AI-powered RI system draws on 60+ petabytes of data from 100 million users of Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks and Mailchimp to benchmark customers’ marketing performance, identify where they’re missing opportunities, recommend optimum times to target customers and generate personalised action plans and branded email and SMS content to win more business and boost revenue. Mailchimp is also bringing SMS functionality to customers in the UK, enabling them to reach target audiences through a combination of SMS and email marketing. https://mailchimp.com Revenue boost A wise choice The Meeting Owl 4+ is an all-in-one, standalone device featuring smart mics, speakers and a 360-degree camera capable of streaming 4K Ultra HD video. The ability to wirelessly connect three units makes the Meeting Owl 4+ suitable for use in conference rooms as well as meeting rooms and home offices. Featuring the latest AI-powered Owl Intelligence System (OIS) software, the Meeting Owl 4+ pairs with Owl Labs’ ecosystem of devices (including Meeting Owls, Owl Bars and Expansion Mics), automatically switching between cameras to capture the best view of in-room attendees. Meeting Owl 4+ can be managed remotely using the Nest management tool. OwlLabs.co.uk Easy set-up Nureva is easing the set-up and management of its Zoom and Microsoft Teams Rooms-certified HDL pro series audio systems (HDL310/410) with the introduction of a new web-based tool. Available from a PC, tablet or smartphone, the Nureva App can be accessed through a local area network and does not require a continuous internet connection, software download or account creation. Nureva CEO Nancy Knowlton said: “The Nureva App makes it easier than ever to deploy and optimise HDL pro series systems for effective collaboration in larger meeting rooms and classrooms. Not only can IT managers and integrators connect to these devices directly from any mobile device or browser, but our customers will continue to avoid the cost and complexity associated with traditional pro AV solutions.” www.nureva.com Canary in a goldmine Meeting Canary is a new app that uses AI to assess the effectiveness of online meetings. In collaboration with Professor Chris Reed from the University of Dundee and Professor Michael Dickmann of Cranfield School of Management, Meeting Canary has developed a formula for calculating meeting effectiveness. The FIRE metric, standing for Focus, Inclusion, Respect and Energy, enables Meeting Canary to identify and warn when a meeting is losing energy and focus or when interruptions and cross-talking are taking their toll. It also provides insights into meeting costs, meeting productivity, meeting inclusivity, top talkers and meeting sentiment. Meeting Canary is available as an app for Microsoft Teams and will soon be provided for other platforms.
