Hicham Tahiri is a French software engineer with extensive professional experience in voice interfaces in both the automotive and the robotics industries.
In 2012, Hicham launched Smartly.ai, a startup that provided voice-based interfaces for PSA Group, SEB Group and several robotics startups such as BlueFrog Robotics. In the process, his team created a framework to quickly create voice assistants. When the Alexa Skills Kit arrived in 2015, he started to craft a developer toolbox that offered a visual conversation design tool with automatic code generation, a community-generated intents library and a voice simulator.
Today at Smartly.ai, Hicham and his team are helping European companies in Banking, Insurance, E-Commerce and Health verticals realize their Bot Strategy via voice interfaces.
