Elie Khoury posted thisToday marks the end of a significant chapter in my life. Starting Woopra 18 years ago was one of the most fulfilling experiences I've had. I'm grateful to have worked with an incredible group of talented people, without whom none of this would have been possible. Our acquisition by Appier was an important milestone to ensure the continuity of this amazing product. I've never been more confident that Woopra is in good hands, and the time has come for me to step away and start a new chapter. What's next? I'm hopping on my road bike to reset and explore. Cycling has become a new passion in my life, and I'm excited to bring something new to that industry. Stay tuned! (If you're a cyclist, let's chat) I owe a debt of gratitude to the exceptional colleagues, partners and impactful customers who were part of this wild ride: Natalie Issa, Jad Younan, Anthony Nassar, Tyson Cleary, Ryan Ota, Selina Meza, Michael Aubry, Chih-Han Yu, Joe Chang, Elle Morgan, Fadi Ghandour, Habib Haddad, Jeffrey Bergier, Teng-Yuan (Ben) Chang, Hong-Chia（宏佳） How, Ramy Khalil, Billy Vong, Anthony Soohoo, Pattabhi Raman, Antoine Chkaiban, and the entire teams at Woopra and Appier. This list barely scratches the surface - to everyone who contributed, you made all the difference. It would be an honor to work alongside any of you in the future!

Elie Khoury posted thisI suspect that Zuck got some intel a couple of months ago about Apple's Vision Pro and realized he has no chance. Smart. The good news for Zuck is that he now has a great platform to build his Metaverse "app" on.

Elie Khoury posted thisI've had the pleasure of meeting numerous marketing leaders over the past three weeks, and I asked them one simple question: "How are you leveraging AI to advance your marketing?" The unanimous response I received was: "Generating SEO/marketing content through ChatGPT." While the technology is undeniably becoming abundant, what's truly missing are products. It's the product itself that will serve as the catalyst for a real transformation. We haven't even scratched the surface. #marketing #ai #product

Elie Khoury shared thisHave you ever experienced the feeling of excitement when all your ideas come together to form a cohesive product vision? As a product lead, I was recently overwhelmed with this feeling when discussing our future with my inspiring colleagues in San Francisco, Taipei, and Seoul. It's no surprise that marketing will transform with AI. But we're not building yet another AI technology. We're creating a Disneyland-like experience for marketers that will revolutionize how they interact with data. We will deeply connect with our customers in ways we never thought possible. Trust me when I say this, if your job involves customer data, your life is about to change!Elie Khoury shared this“Your data is as good as the questions you ask.” - Our CEO Elie Khoury delivered an inspiring keynote speech at the #DigitalMarketingSummit2023 in Seoul, passionately conveying the importance of leveraging AI and real-time analytics to provide marketers with insights instantly. #realtimeanalytics #customeranalytics #webanalytics #AICDP

Elie Khoury liked thisElie Khoury liked thisToday, I lost my job as in-house translator! I am an immigrant in the US, who got countless opportunities and a home here. I met my wife here, who speaks English and Arabic. And with that, I also started moonlighting as a translator between her and my mom, who speaks Hindi and a little bit of English. Every story, every joke, every emotion passed through me. And I am sure there are millions of immigrants like me, who are moonlighting as translators in their families, and are the bridge to ensure that nothing gets lost in translation. That’s why, when Sharath, Shawn, and I first talked about building a real-time language translation product, we knew it had to be done the right way, the Sanas way. With our DNA of preserving identity, emotion, and accuracy. We always dreamed of what FaceTime should have been: not just video and voice, but true understanding. Today, that dream becomes real. We’re launching Sanas' first consumer-facing product for Language Translation, and my family is already loving it. For the first time, my mom can speak to my wife and my mother-in-law in Hindi, just like she would with anyone else. No translator (aka me) required. In our case, love came before technology. But for millions of others, this will be the first bridge that brings people together. Kudos to Shawn, Scott, Sushen, Jason, and the incredible Sanas engineering team for making this happen. Let's march toward a billion voices and make the world a better understood place. Yes, I’ve lost my job as a translator. I’ll happily live with that :) Try our app here - https://lnkd.in/ggHXUe5R Christine, Marty, Monal, Nitesh, Ashish, Saralynn, Michael, Manish

Elie Khoury liked thisElie Khoury liked thisRemoving barriers unlocks potential! It creates opportunities, fuels economies, and sets off ripple effects that touch every part of the ecosystem. Last week, I had the honor of speaking about Sanas at JPMorganChase's 2025 Innovation Nation Philippines (INX) Expo. What truly stood out to me was their core belief: Every voice matters. That's what we live by at Sanas, every voice matters, every voice deserves to be heard, and every voice empowered adds measurable value to the entire system. I'm super proud of the impact Sanas is making in the Philippines. The nation is a talent powerhouse and has given so much to the entire CX industry. But even this powerhouse hit a ceiling, not due to a lack of talent, intelligence, or emotional strength, but because of accents. The way people sounded became a barrier. Sanas changed that. Today, even the agents with lower proficiency bands are empowered to get jobs, and perform there as their accents are not barriers anymore. Every Sanas-empowered agent we meet has more confidence, greater optimism, and a renewed excitement for their work. When you unlock a Talent, you unlock a mind. And when you unlock a mind, you unlock a future. Human potential isn’t something we find, it’s something we unleash when we remove what holds it back. Thanks Bettina Trinidad Salmo, Jerine Angulo & Cheryl for inviting us and giving us the opportunity to share the change we're working to create in the Philippines with Sanas.

Every time someone shows up at a Sanas event, it’s more than just a gathering, it’s a powerful signal of belief. Belief in what we’re building, belief in our mission, and belief in us. It reminds me that people aren’t just drawn to innovation, they’re drawn to energy, optimism, and people who love what they do. People love working with good people. Happy people. People who care deeply. That’s what makes this community so special. A heartfelt thank you to all the customers, prospects, and Sanasites who showed up, supported us, and continue to spread the word. Your trust and advocacy mean everything to us. And we’re just getting started, don’t miss the Sanas team on the main stage at CCW this Wednesday at 4:30 PM.

Elie Khoury liked thisElie Khoury liked thisMeet my FFT-inspired wall clock. The hour hand is samples at 1/3600 Samples/second, but moving counter-clockwise. If I added a minute hand, it would be sampled 60x faster. This uses five frequencies to reconstruct the time at any moment. This animation shows what happens when you interpret the FFT in the continuous-time domain: we see the exact trajectory that a bandlimited signal (within the first Nyquist zone) must follow given these frequencies. It's a fun way to visualize how the time-domain signal is reconstructed from its discrete frequency components—and it offers practical insights into how to use the FFT correctly (and avoid misusing it) in applications like filter design, spectrum analysis modulation. This particular rendition of a clock also happens to offer peak timing resolution between 8–10 AM and 2–4 PM—which, coincidentally is when I need to be at the top of my game for time management. I’m obviously having some fun here; but this is why I find complex sinusoids and expressions like exp(jωt) so intuitive and powerful for understanding signals. If this sparked your curiosity, that's exactly the kind of intuition we build in the Signal PRocessing for Wireless Communications course, which runs two to three times per year. All live sessions are recorded for later viewing, with access to all course content including me for up to three months. Registration and details: https://www.dsp-coach.com/

It felt a bit crazy at first that we wouldn't have a download link for Rivet. That's just how software gets installed, right? But I kept hearing from designers who were already deep in tools like Claude Code and Codex and they weren't waiting for permission. It became pretty clear that meeting these designers where they were was going to be the right approach, so we made Rivet native to the user's local agent, and the way you install it is just by copy-pasting a prompt. Really nice to see this approach is resonating with designers & founders like Grant. Appreciate the shoutout! And also because I'm curious - what are some of the best agent-led onboarding experiences that you've been seeing lately?

Why Your FAQ Page Just Became Your Secret Weapon Let's talk about AIO (AI Optimization)—and why your FAQ page matters more than ever. Think of it this way: 📊 SEO = Show up in Google 🧠 AIO = Show up in ChatGPT 💡 AEO = Show up in Siri, Alexa, and voice search The wild part? The core strategy is the same across all three: ✅ Create quality content ✅ Structure it properly ✅ Focus on what people actually ask about But here's what's different for AEO: Your FAQ section is now mission-critical. Answer engines (like Siri) and voice search tools are specifically hunting for question-and-answer pairs. When someone asks their device a question, where do you think it pulls from? Your FAQs are formatted in the exact structure these systems want: Clear question ✓ Direct answer ✓ Structured data ✓ We used to write FAQs for humans who needed quick answers. Now we're also writing them for AI systems that need structured, accessible information. Same content. Bigger impact. When's the last time you updated your FAQ page? Mark your calendar for our next chat. "The Map Analogy: How Structured Data Guides Search Engines" November 6 at 12 CT. https://vist.ly/4cuhz 🎙️ More insights on this week's Content in Commerce episode. #AnswerEngineOptimization #AEO #VoiceSearch #ContentStrategy #AIMarketing

Putting unchecked AI in front of customers is the fastest way to damage your brand. That's why we built Guardrails as a core part of EvoAI. We're using production-grade controls that make AI predictable and auditable. Because even one hallucination can kill trust. A customer asks about your return policy. Your AI says "30-day returns on all items" when you actually exclude final sale items. That customer now expects a refund you can't give. Now you've lost trust and created a support nightmare. Here's how EvoAI Guardrails are fixing that: → Grounded answers only: Responses come strictly from your catalog, KB, and policies. No guessing. → Policy enforcement: Clear rules for claims, refunds, legal language, competitor mentions. The AI knows what it can and can't say. → Confidence gating: When it's not certain, EvoAI doesn't improvise. It routes to support or creates a ticket automatically. → Testing + monitoring: Red-team test suites, eval benchmarks, live monitoring. We catch failure modes before they hit customers. A customer asks, "Will this charger fast-charge an iPhone 15 Pro safely?" EvoAI checks USB-C PD wattage and certification from specs. If it's not explicitly confirmed, it says so and routes to support. No risky claims. If you're evaluating AI for support or sales, DM me. Happy to connect you with EvoAI GM Rehan Asif.
