My dear friend Laurent Dunys joined us to talk about his Bot Studio. During the past year Laurent managed to launch his startup in Paris and secure the deal with one of the largest automobile manufacturers in France, Renault. His product, Talk To My Car, enables users to interact with their cars using both smartphone chatbots as well as voice interaction via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

I am very impressed with the unprecedented trailblazing success that Laurent accomplished in such a short period. As you will hear, Laurent is a very articulate and well spoken entrepreneur. He is making huge inroads in the brave new world of IoT, chatbots, and artificial intelligence. I left the conversation with my friend emboldened, with a renewed faith in the endless possibilities that the emerging technologies can bring. I am sure you'll experience the same surge of enthusiasm after spending an enlightening hour listening to Laurent's expose. Thank you for sharing the good news, Laurent!
