Development and testing of a business development strategy for the world’s first and only ubiquitous edge voice AI platform

Picovoice is the first and only ubiquitous edge voice AI platform. The world’s first production-grade local Speech-to-Text technology has been recently added to its portfolio. Currently, there is no direct competition on the market, but alternatives. The intern will be responsible for developing and testing business development and go-to-market strategy with vertical-specific value propositions and communications.
Voice AI is a big market mainly dominated by big players such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and IBM. Those offerings are all cloud-based. Picovoice differentiates itself with its easy-to-train developer console and its superior speech recognition technology that achieves higher accuracy than the cloud-based alternatives with the benefits of edge computing: up to 100x cost-effectiveness, privacy, and zero-latency.

Finding the niche for on-device, private and high volume use cases and the correct positioning of Picovoice technology within this crowded market will contribute to the success of Picovoice. The project will include crafting the strategy and also execution to test whether the strategy works and iterate accordingly when needed.
