“Viva Topics is the on-hovercraft of knowledge” 🎙 – The Intrazone podcast

Microsoft

May 11, 2021

It’s time to turn content into knowledge with the help of AI. Let the service reason over your data while you focus on curating a unique employee experience that meets your users where they are already working.

In this episode, Chris and I talk with CJ Tan (principal PM manager | Microsoft) about her role at Microsoft on the Project Cortex team. We dig into knowledge roles, deployment practices, common scenarios, and top of mind for 'what's next.’ We don't think that AI is the only substitute for IA. People, metadata, and AI interact better together. CJ walks us through how it all works from pilot to broad-scale use and adoption.

And hey, we have a new logo for the show – you’ll now see it in all the podcast feeds. Our intent was to emphasize the inclusivity of Microsoft 365, promoting connectedness between people, content, and apps. Note the teal through lines. In addition, we addressed feedback to make the logo more accessible across platforms. Let us know what you think in comments below:
