✨ I'm thrilled to announce that I've joined Media Lab Bayern's MEDIA TECH Lab's Batch 5 🤩 I’m developing a browser extension tailored for editors and professionals involved in text-related research, writing, and editorial reviewing. This MIT licensed open-source "AI toolbox" enables direct interaction with any website's content for tasks such as extraction (and Markdown conversion), audio transcription, translation, summarization, re-phrasing and more. It supports all major open-source and commercial AI models (OpenAI, Anthropics, Google, Cohere, Meta, etc. pp.), whether cloud-based, deployed on-premise, or locally. A pivotal goal is to foster a community that collaboratively creates and refines the open-sourced, high-quality dynamic prompts that drive the AI models within a professional, journalistic context. One technical challenge I'm tackling here is to minimize costs and enhance privacy by ensuring that AI tasks are processed locally whenever possible. This includes demonstrating how to implement vector embedding, indexing, and search in-browser using HNSW and cosine similarity algorithms, accelerated by WebAssembly and WebGPU. 🚀 This journey began last week at Media Lab Bayern with an exceptional group of fellows including Dr. Mirza Klimenta, Tobias Sterbak, and Sabine Wieluch, who also secured funding for their impressive projects 🙌 — definitely worth checking out! Special thanks to Jason Shen and Erkan Kasap from Media Lab Bayern for this amazing opportunity and their amazing support and guidance! 🙏💚 Stay tuned for regular updates, tech insights, and research results from this project right here on LinkedIn. And what's going to be the first content created with the help of FTR: KI-Tools? Well, that'll probably ftr.news, a Newsletter that Ute Muendlein and I plan to publish by Q3 2024 -- hence the project name. Well, there's so much to come, just stay tuned! ☺️ #Innovation #AI #Tech #vectorembedding #vectorstore #browserextension #llms #bayern #technologieland #innovationsland_bayern

I can't believe it, but it’s already been more than three years since Rolf Hermann 🤘🏻 asked me to participate in a podcast episode about Data Segmentation in Email Marketing. Listen to the episode 🎧: https://lnkd.in/eZ7q79Tg (German only). While we’re not in the midst of COVID anymore, many of the topics we discussed back in 2020 remain relevant when it comes to data management and segmentation to enhance email marketing. Agree or disagree? Also, it might have been three years already, but I remember like it was yesterday how nervous I was to speak and afraid of blurting out nonsense. It was, I believe, only the second podcast episode I ever recorded. #emailmarketing #emailstrategy #clv #segmentation #podcast #omr

Lieber besser vorher die #User #Community fragen, bevor man #große #Deals abschließt, um mit ihren Daten #AI zu trainieren: "#Stack #Overflow users sabotage their posts after #OpenAI deal Anti-AI users who change or delete answers in protest are being punished." "I hate this. I'm just going to delete/deface my answers one by one," wrote one user on sister site Stack Exchange. "I don't care if this is against your silly policies, because as this announcement shows, your policies can change at a whim without prior consultation of your stakeholders. You don't care about your users, I don't care about you." https://lnkd.in/emqQSkk9

It is ironic that the US ruling that Google prevents diversity in search engines will hurt diversity in browsers. At least in Europe Firefox is still used by many. But Firefox depends on the payment by Google. Privacy regulations in Europe also already start to hurt the choice of users. Instead of making sure the user can choose, regulations like DMA make companies like Meta or Apple not giving us the option at all. We could not, even if we wanted to. Regulations should empower the user, not undermine the freedom of choice. https://lnkd.in/eDYMUtFp

Dear MüWü Dr. Michael Müller-Wünsch, fellow 𝐂𝐈𝐎s. First of all, I wish everyone impacted a speedy restoration of operational capabilities. I do disagree with the below post. Discussions we must have now are around 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 and 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞. Technology is ubiquitous, and 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is not really of relevance here. A server in Germany (pick your layer and location!) will not protect any of us from outages nor from disruptions. ⚡️Lest not forget. No tech is infallible, and it is in our power to facilitate informed decisions around 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞, 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 and 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 related to 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲.

Insta payments and economy of scale in practice. Additional cost of implementation plus having a second payment channel. Business will benefit from the instant cash flow while customer will pay the fees. At UBS payment will cost you a whooping CHF 5 💸 . At Raiffeisen Switzerland less than half of that, with the first 12 payments for free after that CHF 2 per payment.

Good advice for all consultants by Jürgen Kalkbrenner (translated with LinkedIn Ai) : "A good salesman must be able to sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo," is a common motto in sales. Although this ensures sales, it is not my understanding of good advice. 🫷 You are probably familiar with this: You are looking for a partner for a project who will help with the implementation. You have found a company that makes a competent impression. Even in the first conversation, your counterpart knows very well what the solution looks like. Of course, there may be cases where it is so easy – for example, with the tax return. ✅ But everyday business life usually looks different: The need for support is not yet so clearly defined. Or there may be a clear goal and multiple ways to achieve it. Consultants who present the finished solution in such situations in the first conversation are either brilliant. Or they simply want to make any solution palatable to the customer. My philosophy, on the other hand, is different: 👂Active listening: Instead of explaining to the customer what he (supposedly) needs, I explore with him what really helps him move forward. This requires active listening – a skill that is underestimated today. Only those who listen intensively and ask the right questions will really find suitable solutions. 🤝 Refraining from a flood of foils: What I can't stand at all are excessive self-portrayals by service providers. That's why I refrain from time-consuming descriptions of what metafinanz does and can do in customer meetings. Because for me, a consultation is a dialogue at eye level. 💪Lean strategy: Depending on the order, a strategic foundation is first required. However, a strategy is not an end in itself. At metafinanz, we don't want to get lost in theoretical constructs, but focus on practical implementation. Probably 99 percent of consultants in Germany would claim to do just that. From my own experience and from the feedback from our customers, I know: Unfortunately, this is often not the case. However, this does not help SMEs to master their challenges. I therefore wish that the consulting industry will take the term "customer proximity" more seriously again! hashtag #Mittelstand #Zukunft #Kundennähe #Zuhören #Partnerschaft #consulting #sales #SME #Future #CRM #CustomerOrientation #ActiveListening
