And the shifting ahead piece was actually, actually fascinating to listen to Adam’s ideas there. Anyway, it was a captivating dialogue. Hope you benefit from the present.

Peter Renton  02:04

Welcome to the podcast, Adam.

Adam Famularo  02:06

Thanks for having me, Peter.

Peter Renton  02:07

My pleasure. So let’s kick it off by giving the listeners a little bit little bit of background about your self, when you might simply hit on among the excessive factors of your profession earlier than WorkFusion.

Adam Famularo  02:19

Earlier than WorkFusion, I based a knowledge governance software program firm named erwin. And, you recognize, we we obtained large into information as there’s this large proliferation of information within the market, from IoT units and others, and authorities laws coming down on that business or like issues like GDPR, required folks to determine how they have been going to manipulate and handle their information. So we constructed a really profitable firm over a 5 12 months interval, till we have been bought by Quest Software program again ultimately of 2020, actually the final day of 2020. After which earlier than that I used to be an government at Verizon for just a few years. After which I spent a big a part of my profession at CA Applied sciences as a basic supervisor in a number of enterprise strains from cloud computing to storage to safety software program.

Peter Renton  03:14

Okay, so then so effectively, what attracted you to the CEO position at WorkFusion? Such as you’re not a founding father of the corporate, proper?

Adam Famularo  03:20

No, no, I’m not a founder. I do know what it’s wish to discovered corporations. And it’s not straightforward. And I spend money on founders as effectively, I do know-how investing on the aspect. However this firm, after I was technically taking a while off and having fun with time with the household, I used to be approached by a great pal and colleague who additionally went by means of the corporate. And after I regarded on the know-how, it was superb. And it positively was a kind of Peter your eyes vast open experiences the place I used to be like, boy, what this know-how might do to actually change the business within the market is one thing actually thrilling, and one thing that I ought to take a tough take a look at. And the additional I obtained into it from the buyers and the board, to then peeling again the folks, and the staff, and the purchasers, I obtained increasingly excited to a degree the place I joined in September of 2021.

Peter Renton  03:38

You didn’t have a very long time off, then it appears like.

Adam Famularo  04:15

No, not too lengthy. I had a few strong six months, I had three extra months that I used to assist type of all the mixing work between our two corporations.

Peter Renton  04:24

Okay, so then let’s speak about what WorkFusion does precisely. How do you describe it?

Adam Famularo  04:30

So how I describe WorkFusion is we’re at our core an AI firm that makes use of IDP know-how. And we’re the chief in one thing referred to as IDP, which stands for clever doc processing. So we are able to learn and decipher any type of information enter. After which we’ve our AI engine that permits us to place a workflow on prime of it that may then do work. That’s the cornerstone for who we’re as a know-how. What we’ve performed as an organization is we’ve centered in on a selected use case, which is monetary crimes. So our purpose is to cease the unhealthy guys. And that’s what we’ve been doing. So after I joined in September of ’21, I went on the market on a roadshow, I met with about 60 clients, I discovered the perfect use circumstances of our know-how. And so they have been simply on this match, which was round monetary crimes. And the extra I peeled it again, essentially the most profitable clients that we had, have been those that took the time to take our software program and deal with it as a part of their firm. So that you’ll see that they’ve given them type of names and roles and tasks. And so they’ve actually handled our software program as type of a part of a crew. And that’s what sort of gave me the concept of going the subsequent stage with our know-how. And what we did was we truly took our know-how, we gave all of them particular job roles and job tasks in monetary crimes, we gave them names and faces, as you see on our web site, we employed actors and actresses to painting them, in order that it could make it simpler for our clients to onboard our know-how and deal with them as a part of their monetary crimes crew.

Peter Renton  06:15

Proper.

Adam Famularo  06:16

That’s what we did. We launched it again in February 2, 2022. And that was type of the beginning of our digital staff technique.

Peter Renton  06:24

Proper, proper. So I wish to dig into this, as a result of I gotta let you know when, I get quite a lot of pitches for folks being on my podcast, and most of them don’t make the minimize. However when your PR folks pitched me in your firm and I went to your web site, and I checked out these AI digital staff, and I’m like, pondering are these folks actual? I imply, I couldn’t, I couldn’t determine it out, as a result of it appears to be like actual. However then it’s type of like an AI digital assistant. And so they appear to be people. So such as you mentioned, you employed actors. So perhaps these are all based mostly on actual folks. However they’re if you see these AI digital staff speaking, who’re they?

Adam Famularo  07:05

So nice query, Peter. And it does get very fascinating for our clients. As a result of what occurs is, our viewpoint is you rent our digital staff to return to work so that you can do a job position. So for instance, you’d rent Tara. Tara does transaction screening. So she appears to be like in any respect the transactions that come within the financial institution, and she is going to let you recognize which of them are false positives and which of them needs to be allowed by means of. That’s her job position. She’s going to work with a crew of people. And when she will get caught, she’ll have the ability to attain out to the people and say, Pay attention, John, or Jane, I’m caught with this downside. I consider the reply is that this, this, or this? John or Jane will log in, they’ll say Tara, the reply is that this after which Tara goes again to doing her job. That assemble in itself, Peter, is the explanation why we gave them names, and job roles, and particular job tasks, as a result of it truly is. You’re hiring them to return to work for the financial institution and play a selected job position. And if you peel again that job position, these are job roles that the majority people don’t wish to do. It’s very tedious work. It’s very guide, it is extremely labor intensive. And you’ve got the regulators on you. So very error susceptible work. In order that’s why we type of honed in on these particular use circumstances. And we actually gave them a persona in order that they’re considered as a part of the corporate.

Adam Famularo  07:06

Proper. Had been they based mostly on somebody like an actor that got here in and did this, or are they purely AI generated?

Adam Famularo  08:38

No, they’re actors and actresses that portrayed these roles.

Peter Renton  08:44

Okay, so they’re actual folks. However if you work together with them, you’re not interacting with clearly, the actor, you’re interacting with the AI.

Adam Famularo  08:52

And we’re getting nearer and nearer to you interacting them like that, like we’re engaged on issues that can you recognize, Tara will have the ability to name you on Groups and also you’ll truly see her face and he or she’ll speak to you in regards to the problem that she’s having. So we’re taking this so far as we presumably can to be sure that the groups really feel like Tara actually is part of their crew.

Peter Renton  09:15

Okay, so then, clearly, they’re digital, they will, they work 24/7, proper, they don’t have to interrupt, how are folks utilizing them? Are they utilizing them in that approach the place there’s 1,000,000 paperwork that must be analyzed, go off and try this. I imply, how, perhaps give us some examples of how they’re utilizing various kinds of digital works, perhaps describe the different sorts that you’ve got and the way they’re getting used.

Adam Famularo  09:38

And that’s a extremely necessary a part of giving every one a selected job position and job accountability, as a result of the place you’re going, Peter is that you possibly can actually do something with these digital staff, proper? You simply say, Okay, go concentrate on now studying and deciphering this information, after which you’ll be able to create a studying algorithm behind it. What we’ve performed is with intent, so with intent we’ve mentioned okay, Evelyn, you’re going to concentrate on antagonistic media. So that you’re gonna search for all the present unhealthy folks and new unhealthy folks and be sure that we stopped doing enterprise with them. And that’s your one particular job, and Tara you’re doing transaction screening. Kendrick, you’re gonna take a look at all the client IDs and be certain that it’s a legitimate ID. Darryl, you’re going to learn the paperwork related to the KYC course of. So every one has a selected job position and accountability. And they’ll do exactly that job position. So what we discover is that different corporations that attempted to do one thing like this, they go the extra type of broad method the place we might do something for anyone. However then it takes quite a lot of time, cash and energy in doing all of the coaching. Our largest differentiation is our fashions come pre-trained. So this can be a, you recognize, one, two, generally three years of coaching that’s gone into these fashions. So our viewpoint is if you’re hiring a Tara or an Evelyn to return to give you the results you want, you’re hiring any individual as in the event that they’ve been doing the job for 3 years. This isn’t any individual that’s, you recognize, out of school, and you must prepare them from scratch. That’s why we’ve given them type of the names, the faces, and particular job roles and tasks that they’re tasked to do.

Peter Renton  11:18

How have you ever skilled these assistants then?

Adam Famularo  11:21

So we’re very grateful that our current buyer base has allowed us to take the coaching fashions that we’ve performed with them, and produce it up and productize. So from there, in order that was the preliminary onset. From there, we even have all the extra Taras and Evelyns which are working on the market, their suggestions goes into the fashions, the long run fashions, we’re taking all the mannequin enhancements, placing them into new releases, after which bringing them out to {the marketplace}. In order that’s what we do. Now we do have a approach which you could opt-in as effectively, that is as much as every financial institution, the place they will truly get actual time updates with Tara and Evelyn as we make the mannequin modifications. However what we discover is most banks wish to be a little bit bit extra structured behind the modifications that they carry into their enterprise. So from that standpoint, you recognize, we are able to normally do upgrades each six months to 12 months.

Peter Renton  12:16

Proper. Okay. So are the banks that you simply’re working with, have they got, I imply, clearly, all of the belongings you’ve talked about, are issues that banks have been doing for many years. If you herald these digital staff, proper now, are they simply augmenting an current crew? How are the banks discovering it?

Adam Famularo  12:34

That’s the phrase. So augmenting the crew is absolutely the suitable phrase for use. I used to be simply with the CEO and his management crew from a financial institution final week. And he used that very same phrase as effectively, which was, look, these are augmenting our crew members. We have now so many different larger finish jobs that we are able to promote, prepare and develop folks to take, that that is augmenting the workforce that we’ve right now. And we see that for essentially the most half is that the majority of those banks are having a tough time increasing their talents to deal with the pure variety of sanctions which are coming in. For those who take a look at from the Russia, Ukraine conflict, sanctions are up over 100% since you recognize, the conflict broke out in February of 2022. And so they’re planning for extra sanctions coming from different nations. So it’s like, how can we deal with all this rising demand with a present labor power that hardly needs to even do that job? In order that’s actually the place we are available in, and we’re augmenting the roles which are there right now, and permitting others to do extra complicated larger finish work.

Peter Renton  13:39

Proper, proper. After which did your purchasers embrace this type of, I don’t know what you’d name it, humanizing approach of type of implementing your fashions, or what was the suggestions like there?

Adam Famularo  13:51

They adore it. So we’ve had a number of clients which have been doing type of their very own variants of it, as a result of what they painting to me, utilizing our software program is tradition altering. So when one thing is tradition altering, you want to make it simpler for folks to adapt to it. They themselves have been, earlier than we took this tact, you recognize, I had one firm was creating little robotic figures and naming them. I had one other firm has actually a cardboard cutout, named her Sarah, and sat her at a desk. And that was the individual that was doing transaction screening. So I had every kind of various variances. So they really cherished the truth that I made it actually easy to grasp what the job position every one was going to do, that I gave them a selected title and a face that really made it simpler for them to plug them into their groups. And so they have been in a position to deal with them as if we’re now hiring Tara to tackle this particular work. And oh, John, you’re gonna must work with Tara to assist her when she will get caught. That made every thing very straightforward for them to have the ability to digest and use, after which the opposite large factor that we did exterior of simply giving them names and faces, is that we constructed all these partnerships. So we in-built all of the integrations. So it made it very easy so that you can onboard Tara or Evelyn, the place again within the day, it might need taken you six months to deploy it. Now we are able to go reside in weeks, three weeks, 4 weeks, and you’ll be up and operating and begin utilizing Tara in manufacturing.

Peter Renton  15:19

Okay, let’s speak in regards to the onboarding course of there, what’s concerned like, notably, you get a brand new consumer, proper, that you simply’ve by no means labored with earlier than, they wish to deliver your software program in home. What’s concerned within the onboarding course of?

Adam Famularo  15:31

So now, as I discussed, the mixing half is primary, proper? So we take a look at what monetary methods are they utilizing round sanction screenings, like issues like Firco, or Clear, various kinds of corporations on the market that we have to combine with. So consider the instruments that the people have been utilizing, our AI software program must interoperate with. So we’ve constructed all of the partnerships with all these instruments, and we’ve out of the field integrations constructed. If there’s any others that we have to type of combine into, we are able to try this. That’s a part of the type of onboarding course of. And out of doors of that, our machine mannequin is able to go. And normally, you recognize, from going from simply doing proof of idea we’ll normally be about 50/55% automation charges. After which once we plug them into the group, so now we assign an individual of the crew to work with Tara or Evelyn. And now that individual will log into the system as soon as a day, twice a day and make any updates or, you recognize, deal with any of the problems the place Tara or Evelyn obtained caught. After which from there, it would proceed to enhance and enhance and enhance till it hits 60%, then 70%, then 80% automation, and Tara and Evelyn is simply doing increasingly of the work.

Peter Renton  16:45

You recognize, I’m interested in how they really do the work. Are they, I imply your software program should exit to love sanctions lists, lists are being up to date on a regular basis, there’s extra unhealthy guys that get came upon. I imply, are they simply going out and monitoring totally different databases in actual time? How are they doing this work?

Adam Famularo  17:06

Yeah, that’s one of many jobs like Evelyn that’s doing antagonistic media. She’s tapping into all of these totally different databases, each exterior and inner, utilizing web sites, and understanding type of how that’s altering. After which because it modifications, then she’ll roll that again by means of to her human crew to then implement any of the modifications inside the group from what she’s discovering.

Peter Renton  17:29

So then, is that this simply a part of what WorkFusion supplies now? Or is that this actually what we’ve been speaking about for the final quarter-hour, is that this actually the product now?

Adam Famularo  17:38

That is the core perform. So if I simply categorize it, we’ve what we name our Work.ai platform. Our platform is the business main IDP know-how with our AI engine, proper. That’s the core assemble of who we’re as an organization. Then on prime of that, we constructed out our instantiation, which is these eight digital staff that simply do monetary crimes. That’s it. After which what we’re doing with partnerships, like we inked a partnership with an organization referred to as Epic, we inked one other partnership with an organization referred to as Emphasis. However we’re enabling these corporations to construct and develop their very own digital staff for various industries. Like we’re by no means by ourselves going to enter the authorized business. Epic is without doubt one of the leaders in authorized software program and providers. So we’re going to empower them to take our software program, construct digital staff for authorized, and produce these to market, after which simply give us a small royalty.

Peter Renton  18:36

Fascinating, fascinating. So I imply, you’re centered on monetary providers, although, proper?

Adam Famularo  18:41

Yeah.

Peter Renton  18:41

So far as the core of what you’ve been doing, who’s the goal market, precisely? Do you want to be a sure measurement earlier than you’ll be able to deliver WorkFusion in? Who’re you working with?

Adam Famularo  18:53

Yeah, that’s a great query. So we do minimize throughout from fintechs to regional banks to massive banks. We do cowl banks, you recognize, all all through North America, from US to Canada, in addition to by means of Europe. These are type of our main markets. The who we promote to, what we promote primarily to your chief threat officers, or chief compliance officers. So the folks which are chargeable for looking for and defending the businesses towards the unhealthy guys, these are, you recognize, our core customers and use circumstances that we work with.

Peter Renton  19:28

May you present perhaps a case examine on one or two of the banks that you simply’ve labored with which are partaking with these AI digital staff?

Adam Famularo  19:40

Yeah, so exterior of this, Jess Casssdy, our head of PR, can truly offer you case research that we are able to put together with the interview.

Peter Renton  19:49

Okay.

Adam Famularo  19:50

We even have stuff on our web site that we are able to use. I all the time must be a little bit bit cautious as a result of quite a lot of the banks don’t need their names getting used and I don’t wish to step on their toes, however we might positively offer you a number of…

Peter Renton  20:03

That’d be nice. For those who might present that once we publish the podcast, I’ll hyperlink to it within the present notes.

Adam Famularo  20:07

Good.

Peter Renton  20:08

So then, let’s speak generative AI for a minute, as a result of it’s been a sizzling matter now for over a 12 months with Open AI and type of ChatGPT journey that that’s on, I’m interested in how a lot of what you’ve performed is taking a few of these components of the generative AI know-how, and huge language fashions. I imply, how a lot of what your you have got produced right now is reliant on a few of this new know-how?

Adam Famularo  20:37

Lots, truly. So we’re gone fairly deep with LLMs. And we began very early on each with ChatGPT in addition to with Google, with Bard, and now the brand new new product off of Bard. We consider that the LLMs are this nice type of horizontal play on understanding information and data. However what they don’t have is that deep vertical presence, and that’s the place we are available in. So we’ve, the know-how I used to be alluding to earlier than, we name it human within the loop, the place we plug in people into our know-how to assist improve our fashions. Effectively, we’ve the identical factor with LLMs, the place we plug LLMs into our fashions to assist improve our fashions and do work that’s higher served by them, after which feed it into ours. And on the finish of the day, we’ve been in a position to see automation charge enhancements from I imply, shoot, we took Tara inside one firm from 80% automation to 92% automation by integrating LLMs in. So there’s a pleasant slot in there, the place we use LLMs together with people within the loop to assist create a greater employee that we ship into {the marketplace}.

Peter Renton  21:54

Okay, and also you’re in an space that’s the place you actually can’t make errors, proper? You’ve obtained a, that is critical enterprise that you simply’re in, you’re not speaking about, you recognize, films or TV or something like that. You’re speaking about finance and extremely, extremely regulated corporations. And with you bringing a few of that in like the big language fashions, how are you lowering the danger of hallucinations or errors of any sort?

Adam Famularo  22:21

Yeah, effectively, there’s a few good factors in there, Peter. The primary level is LLMs are usually not welcome at each financial institution, proper. And that’s duly famous by every financial institution. And those which are leaping in are leaping in with with bated breath, proper. So that they’re placing a field round it, they’re watching and monitoring and ensuring that they’re not harming themselves. From our standpoint, we view it in a really related approach, which is we’ve core underpinning info and information that we’re taking out of the LLMs, we’re documenting any choices that we use the LLMs to make. We aren’t a black field, we’re very a lot a white field, and to your level, regulators want to return in and like what they see with us. And so they do, proper. In the present day regulators are available in and so they see that our product’s put in and getting used, and so they can simply click on on and have the ability to see all the choices that we made and why we made them. That’s a really, essential piece to us is that we’re very a lot a white field. It’s open, proper? It’s an open ecosystem that folks can perceive what resolution we made, why we made it, and may show that this resolution was the suitable resolution at that cut-off date. So from our standpoint, we allow our banks to be a little bit bit higher served and higher protected, as a result of our software program is using on prime of the LLMs, not simply utilizing the LLMs to make choices, however utilizing their information. After which we’re those which are in the end making the choices on the finish of the day.

Peter Renton  23:49

So if there’s a hallucination from the LLM, you’re catching it earlier than it actually will get will get on the market into the wild.

Adam Famularo  23:57

Appropriate.

Peter Renton  23:58

Okay. Okay. So the final a part of our interview right here, I wish to speak in regards to the future as a result of I believe you’re in an fascinating place, sitting the place you’re with these, you’ve actually gone all in, let’s assume, on having type of AI digital staff be part of the way forward for work, let’s assume. So my first query right here, then is if you take a look at the state of the place we’re right now, I imply, I think about we’ll look again in 10 years and assume this was 1.0. And we have been fairly rudimentary, proper?

Adam Famularo  24:31

Rudimentary. Very a lot so.

Peter Renton  24:33

Effectively, the place are we going? How’s this gonna look in simply in your area of interest of like monetary crime and all of the issues we talked about? What’s it going to look inside a financial institution in perhaps, even in 5 years?

Adam Famularo  24:45

It’s going to be a lot extra superior than it’s now. I began supplying you with a sneak peek of it earlier within the dialog. However like proper now the interplay is, you recognize, inside a portal that you simply log into, and also you see all these information feeds, and then you definately make, you assist improve the fashions based mostly upon these information feeds. You recognize, we’re taking a look at taking, you recognize, the faces from the actors and actresses, and allow them to have the ability to converse with you, identical to I’m conversing with you, Peter proper now. You’re,  gonna have the ability to converse with Tara, identical to this. We’re gonna have the ability to have a dialog, Tara’s going to have the ability to study from you on this dialog mode, and have the ability to return to work. That isn’t too far out both. That’s like 12 months, 24 months, you’re going to have the ability to converse with AI as when you’re conversing with a colleague. And and that’s going to type of change every thing, as a result of the nearer that the AI know-how will come to feeling and performing like a human, the extra work that’s going to be susceptible to go over to the AI aspect, and make it that a lot simpler and quicker for others to study from them as effectively.

Peter Renton  25:54

What about like, are you involved about like deep fakes and totally different ways in which the speak in regards to the future, and it’s already now you’ll be able to have, you’ll be able to principally create a video of anybody saying something.

Adam Famularo  26:04

Appropriate.

Peter Renton  26:05

In the present day that know-how exists. So how is that type of, how are you serious about that going ahead?

Adam Famularo  26:11

We’re truly taking a look at utilizing a few of that know-how in order that we are able to truly painting our AI as people, proper. In order that’s truly how we’re engaged on doing that. And making it in order that it’s extra conversational AI, that’s type of the subsequent, the subsequent world in that is getting taken to a conversational level, proper? You recognize, I’m not as apprehensive about it, I type of really feel like governments and governments all over the world are trying very laborious on this, I believe that there shall be issues in there to be sure that we all know that it’s an AI versus it’s a human, I believe that’s what must be type of a part of the dialogue. However I do really feel like there would be the proper guidelines to and protections in place to assist cease the impersonation. The impersonation half is absolutely the place it will get harmful, if it’s impersonating, you recognize, a president, and it’s saying one thing, after which individuals are performing upon it. Nevertheless it wasn’t the president that mentioned it, proper. That’s the place it will get actually harmful. And I’m hopeful that the suitable guidelines and laws shall be put in place to assist us, you recognize, cease that from getting uncontrolled.

Peter Renton  27:21

So then what about when, as banks get bigger, and your know-how will get higher? You probably did say earlier that that is actually augmenting staff right now. 5 to 10 years time, if you wish to, if you wish to actually ramp up your Monetary Crimes Unit in your financial institution, are you going to be hiring folks? Or are you going to be hiring, you recognize, AI, digital staff from WorkFusion?
