This unique approach advances the abilities of a multi-modal virtual agent to engage in human-like dialogue with users, improves the quality of the Customer Experience (CX) and provides enterprises with deep insights about their customers across multiple use-cases.

Openstream.ai's latest patent represents a significant advancement in the field of conversational analysis and AI-driven interactions. The techniques presented uniquely identify important aspects of conversations and create hierarchical models that can lead to more effective and contextually aware question-and-answer systems, improving how people interact with AI and enhancing the overall user experience.

"This patent adds to our expansive portfolio of intellectual capital and provides the best Conversational AI platform and capabilities for our clients," said Openstream.ai CEO Raj Tumuluri. "By combining various sensory inputs such as speech, gesture, vision, and touch while leveraging the latest advances in artificial intelligence disciplines and finely tuned AI capabilities, Openstream.ai's Eva^™ (Enterprise Virtual Assistant) enabled applications excel at delivering natural human-like interaction."

According to the 2023 Gartner ® Emerging Technologies: Tech Innovators in Advanced Virtual Assistants research report, by 2025, multimodal interactions will be a standard feature for VAs, up from less than 2% in 2021. Enterprises need to evolve from using basic chatbots to plan-based multimodal Conversational AI-enabled agents that provide superior customer and employee experiences. This latest breakthrough is already embedded in Openstream.ai's Eva^™ platform and enables superior customer and employee dialogue with personalized, fluid human-like conversations at scale.

Creating a comprehensive Conversational AI (CAI) platform for Visionary Enterprises involves integrating various cutting-edge capabilities to provide a robust and versatile solution. "This patent deftly combines conversational multimodal interaction and neural architectures by integrating multimodal fusion with neural attention," said Dr. Phil Cohen, Chief Scientist, Openstream.ai. "This versatility allows users to engage in conversations using their preferred communication methods."

Openstream.ai's visionary clients benefit from our feature-rich offering underscored by:

The Easiest, Most Affordable, and Most Secure Way to Make Meetings and Events Language Inclusive

Wordly, the leading provider of live AI Translation and captions, announced the launch of Trusted AI Translation, the easiest, most affordable, and most secure way to make meetings and events more language inclusive and accessible. Wordly Trusted AI Translation enables organizations to leverage the benefits of AI while meeting their enterprise security and compliance requirements. The announcement reinforces the company's mission to make live translation and captions available to everyone.

Since launching in 2019, Wordly has set the standard for AI translation and AI captioning solutions in the EventTech industry. In addition to powerful product features, high scalability, and ease of use, Wordly has built strong security and privacy protections into their products and processes. The solution has been continuously optimized through hundreds of millions of live translation minutes to ensure high speed and accuracy.

Wordly Trusted AI Translation

The Wordly Trusted AI Translation framework consists of three components:

1. Comprehensive Data Control

Customers own and maintain complete control of their data when using Wordly. Wordly does not use data from customer meetings and events to train speech recognition and translation models. Customers have the option to create text transcripts of sessions and control how that information is stored and shared.

Customers can tune translation output to meet their brand and compliance standards. Wordly provides custom glossaries to increase translation accuracy for industry and company specific terminology, including people, product, and brand names. The glossaries also provide controls to prevent inappropriate or offensive content from appearing in results to meet company and geographic requirements.

Session attendees do not need to create an account, download anything, or share personal information to use Wordly. This reduces data privacy concerns and also makes the user experience easier.

2. High Compliance Standards

Wordly meets the strict security requirements of SOC 2 Type 2. The internationally recognized compliance standard provides assurances that a company's internal controls and systems related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of data meet the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Trust Service Criteria. Wordly follows a comprehensive set of privacy and security processes to ensure customer data is safe.

3. Flexible Security Controls

In addition to encrypting all data in transit and at rest, Wordly offers additional features to enhance security, including Single Sign On (SSO), Secure Session IDs, and Secure Transcripts. Customers can choose which security add-on features they want to deploy.

"AI is a powerful technology and is revolutionizing all aspects of business, but organizations are starting to wonder who has access to their data and if they can trust AI solutions," said Lakshman Rathnam, Wordly CEO. "We take security and data privacy very seriously. We built the Wordly platform with enterprise class security and privacy controls so it can work across all industries and use cases. We want to make sure that users know when they use Wordly AI translation and captioning, they can be assured their data is safe and secure."

Launched in 2019, the Wordly translation platform provides real-time translation into dozens of the top international business languages for in-person and virtual meetings and events. Attendees can listen to translated audio, read translated subtitles, or read same-language captions which increases inclusivity and accessibility.

Wordly has been used by millions of users globally and continues to scale its infrastructure to meet growing live translation demand and remain the leading provider of live AI translation for the EventTech industry.

Recent milestones include:

• 2 Million+ Translation Users
• 300 Million+ Translation Minutes
• 50 Thousand+ Translation Sessions

Digimarc Corporation, the pioneer in product digitization and leader in digital watermarking, today announced former Salesforce enterprise sales leader Tom Benton has joined the company as Chief Revenue Officer. Benton brings world-class sales leadership and hands-on experience helping large enterprises harness the power of transformational technologies.

“We are experiencing an exciting inflection point in the industry where product digitization is becoming a business imperative,” said Riley McCormack, President and CEO of Digimarc. ”Tom’s expertise in building world-class sales teams and his hands-on experience helping major enterprise customers embrace transformational technologies to achieve business goals aligns with our mission to promote a prosperous, safer, and more sustainable world.”

“It is rare to find a company with Digimarc’s unique combination of pioneering technology, proven product strength, innovative customers, and commitment to lead the way for needed change. I’m beyond thrilled to join Digimarc as we chart the way for consumer brands, retailers, content creators, and major enterprises to embrace digitization – both physical products and digital assets,” said Tom Benton, Digimarc's Chief Revenue Officer.

Benton brings 30 years of sales leadership experience to Digimarc. Building on achievements at Oracle and Salesforce, Benton assumed the role of Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at Workmarket, an ADP company, where he successfully identified the company’s product-market fit and a new business model. The result was a 53% compound annual growth rate that culminated in Workmarket’s acquisition by ADP. Most recently, Benton served as CRO of HireVue, where he built an exceptional global team and go-to-market plan, doubling annual recurring revenue in three years and expanding the enterprise client base to encompass 55% of the Fortune 100. Benton also spearheaded the launch of HireVue's FedRAMP Authorized public sector division, which grew to serve over 20 Federal Agencies within three years. Benton’s early career included leading a highly successful partner and channel business at BEA Systems (acquired by Oracle). BEA’s channel business generated over $100 million in revenue. After being acquired by Oracle, the program was expanded globally.

“I’m passionate about constructing sales teams, orchestrating targeted go-to-market initiatives, and fostering collaboration with channel partners to drive critical market growth,” said Benton. “In my new role as Digimarc CRO, I look forward to building a customer-centric sales engine to achieve repeatable, predictable, and scalable growth while staying laser-focused on helping our customers achieve their product digitization goals.”

Digimarc was recently named to Fortune’s 2023 Change the World list, a global ranking of more than 50 top companies making a positive social impact through business practices. Last month, the company introduced Digimarc Validate, including the industry’s first Secure, Automated, Fair, and Efficient (SAFE™) detection service and software to empower content owners and creators to convey copyright ownership of images and digital media assets – critical in an era of generative AI.

Magic Studio marks the latest in a series of major product milestones over the past 12 months, including the launch of Canva’s enterprise-focused Visual Suite in September 2022 and the rollout of new AI and marketer tools at Create this March. Fueled by the proliferation of visual communication at work, more than 65 million new users have started using Canva in the last year – a milestone that originally took the company eight years to achieve. Canva currently has 16 million paying subscribers and more than 150 million users worldwide. The company’s early set of AI-powered design products have been used more than 3 billion times.

Magic Studio – The AI Design Platform for the Other 99%

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence presents an extraordinary opportunity for individuals and organizations to realize their innate creative potential. Despite an onslaught of new tools, AI-powered design remains geared towards design professionals and exists in a highly complex and fragmented market, limiting the incredible potential of this technology for the 99% of workers who need to create more content than ever without advanced design skills.

Magic Studio is a first of its kind suite of AI tools built on proprietary models, in partnership with industry leaders, and through its rapidly growing app ecosystem. Magic Studio infuses the best of AI across every part of Canva as the first and only truly all-in-one and interoperable AI design offering on the market.

Canva Shield – Industry Leading Safety, Privacy and Indemnification

In addition to Magic Studio, Canva also announced the launch of Canva Shield – an industry-leading and enterprise-grade collection of robust trust, safety and privacy controls designed to provide teams and organizations with peace of mind when creating content. Team administrators have full control over how Magic Studio products are enabled and used across the workplace and can toggle these features based on employee roles at any time.

Canva Shield is the latest in the company’s substantial and ongoing investment in trust and safety following the integration of powerful automated content moderation, prompt filtering, reporting functionalities and the launch of an industry-first debiasing model ensuring Magic Studio products produce safe and inclusive results. For enterprise customers, Canva Shield also includes indemnification, providing additional peace of mind for organizations creating content with AI.

A Leading Creator Compensation Program

In recognition of the importance of creators and designers, Canva also announced a $200 million commitment in content and AI royalties to be paid to the company’s creator community over the next three years. The Creator Compensation Program will pay Canva Creators who consent to having their content used to train the company’s proprietary AI models.

Underscoring its commitment to transparency, Canva will provide creators the choice to opt out of their data being used for training purposes. Creators who opt into training AI models on their existing content will receive an initial payment followed by monthly payment for continued use.

“The future of design will be determined by human creativity but will also be fueled by unprecedented levels of AI innovation,” said Danny Wu, Head of AI, Canva. “Creators are at the heart of our community, so we fully embrace our responsibility to ensure that we’re offering them AI-powered tools that are firmly grounded in transparency, as well as ethical and fair practices every step of the way.”

Fueling Visual Communication in the Enterprise

As Canva enters its next decade, the company remains focused on democratizing design in the workplace. A year since the launch of Canva’s Visual Suite which introduced collaborative documents, websites, presentations, whiteboards, data visualization, and more – Canva is experiencing unprecedented workplace growth and adoption, adding more than 65 million new monthly active users in a year while nearly doubling paid subscribers to over 16 million.

More and more, professionals are expected to communicate visually at work. There are more than one million people now listing Canva as a core skill on their LinkedIn profile - a figure that’s surged 72% year-over-year as visual communication becomes the status quo. For this reason, Canva’s traction in the enterprise is growing rapidly with large companies like FedEx, Starbucks, Colgate-Palmolive, Zoom, Reddit, and others that rely on Canva as their visual communication tool of choice.

Canva’s all-in-one platform, now supercharged with more AI-powered design tools, is unlocking entirely new levels of creativity while empowering individuals, teams, and enterprises to create visual communication at scale like never before.

Organizations can now continuously assess user risk and automatically respond to Identity threats across their technology ecosystem

Okta, Inc., the leading independent Identity partner, announced Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI (Identity Threat Protection), a new product for Okta Workforce Identity Cloud that delivers real-time detection and response for Identity-based threats. Built with Okta AI and powered by insights pulled from an organization’s security stack, Identity Threat Protection extends security beyond initial authentication to any time a user is logged in. This allows admins and security teams to continuously assess user risk throughout active sessions, and automatically respond to Identity threats across their entire ecosystem.

Organizations are adopting an increasing number of cybersecurity tools to keep pace with evolving threats, forcing admins and security teams to sift through an overwhelming amount of granular security data to establish effective policies and detect and respond to critical threats. This fragmentation leads to navigating multiple consoles, and makes it difficult to track the risk of any given user session over time. Because Identity is uniformly deployed across an organization’s tech stack, Okta is uniquely positioned to assess risk across security domains and throughout active user sessions. This dynamic approach addresses a significant concern for businesses as, according to Gartner, “organizations that embrace a continuous adaptive trust approach by 2025 will reduce [account takeover] and other identity risks by 30%...”¹

“You can’t defend what you can’t see, and Identity is a powerful tool to connect everything,” said Sagnik Nandy, President and Chief Development Officer of Workforce Identity Cloud at Okta. “Organizations need the ability to not only bring together risk insights at the point of login, but also to re-evaluate at any point in a user’s session. Identity Threat Protection extends Okta’s adaptive risk analysis and delivers automatic remediation and response, helping businesses stop potential threats in real-time.”

While multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a mainstay for combating Identity-based attacks, its effectiveness is often limited to the point of login. The growing risk of post-authentication threats, such as session hijacking, Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM), and MFA bypass attacks via phishing, is pushing organizations to extend their Identity-powered security capabilities beyond the point of authentication.

Extending Identity to Security Response Operations

Identity Threat Protection includes integrations built in collaboration with a robust ecosystem of partners including CrowdStrike, Jamf, Material Security, Netskope, Palo Alto Networks, SGNL, Trellix, Zimperium, and Zscaler. The product leverages a standards-based event pipeline to extract insights from various security technologies. When Identity Threat Protection detects an unusual event — whether it be a change in IP address or device context — admin-configured policies and features can initiate certain actions, such as immediately ending the active user session across supported applications where the organization has the feature enabled. This rapid, coordinated response capability not only allows organizations to neutralize Identity threats more effectively, but it also positions Identity Threat Protection as the connective tissue across the tech stack.

“Before companies can embrace new technologies with confidence, they need to ensure their security strategies are designed to outpace threats,” said Meerah Rajavel, CIO at Palo Alto Networks. “Our world-class threat intelligence innovations help secure enterprises against evolving attack methods. Collaborating with Okta’s Identity Threat Protection is a great opportunity to further empower enterprises with security signal sharing, helping them to better detect changes in user risk across their tech stack.”

By leveraging shared signals throughout a user’s active session, Identity Threat Protection empowers organizations to mitigate risk with richer threat detection and response capabilities. Initial capabilities at launch include:

• Continuous Risk Evaluation enforces security policies both at login and during an active user session, reducing the potential for unauthorized access or session hijacking.
• Shared Signals Pipeline amplifies threat visibility across an organization’s tech ecosystem, enabling security teams to detect and respond to emerging threats between various security technologies, including Mobile Device Management (MDM), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) solutions.
• Adaptive Actions responds to real-time threats with targeted actions such as Universal Logout from supported applications with the feature enabled, prompting users for on-demand multi-factor authentication, and executing automated workflows to address emerging risks.

“Jamf manages and secures more than 30 million Apple devices for the world’s leading companies,” said Linh Lam, CIO at Jamf. “In today’s risk environment, it’s critical for any changes in management status and device user risk to be sent in real-time for remediation. Our market-leading Apple device management solution and endpoint security capabilities, backed by Apple-focused threat intelligence, makes Jamf a perfect partner for Okta admins using Identity Threat Protection.”

Unqork, the leading enterprise no-code platform built upon the Codeless Architecture, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has recently granted US Patent No. 11,204,690 to Unqork, which protects the company's enterprise-grade Codeless Architecture platform. The patent, titled "Systems and methods for software development and deployment platforms having advanced workflow and event processing capabilities and graphical version controls," further strengthens Unqork's intellectual property as the first-ever no-code development platform designed to support the complexity, scale and security that enterprise mission-critical applications require.

US Patent No. 11,204,690 reflects the Unqork platform's ability to generate and deploy advanced applications, which offers users drag-and-drop functionality to easily define content, workflow and background processes for mission-critical applications.

The patent grant is the first for Unqork, with several additional patent applications pending.

Since Unqork's founding in 2017, enterprise industry leaders have used Unqork's no-code platform to bring applications to market faster, at a lower cost and with fewer vulnerabilities than traditional coding methods– all without creating a single line of code. In 2021, Unqork's technology enabled the elimination of 188 million lines of code, resulting in the saving of over $678 million of tech debt, and allowing customers to focus on innovation and building better software to support and enhance their business.

Today, customers are using Unqork to adopt Codeless Architecture – an open-standard approach to software development that allows organizations to build and manage best-of-breed applications without generating any underlying code. This modern approach allows enterprises to build new software and realize the full potential of their existing applications without having to worry about code.

"Since day one, Unqork has had a unique approach – putting visual, drag-and-drop no-code technology in the hands of experienced users to help them build some of the most complex enterprise apps. This patent grant is further validation that what we're doing is truly one-of-a-kind," said Gary Hoberman, CEO and founder, Unqork.
