Roundtable Discussions: AI in Practice

Introduction: When to Start Implementing an AI Solution

A lot of technical things, and we don't know in the beginning what we need. So for your perspective, which is the best time, the best topic to understand what I have to do to implement my solution? Yeah, I mean, that's a good question.

Allomana’s Approach: Automate Existing Business Processes

With Allomana specifically, we focus on the business, right? So everybody already has a process that they use to do X, Y, and Z, whatever that process might be, whether for finance or for banking, manufacturing. We simply sit on top of that process. So I'm not going to try to reinvent the wheel and have you guys learn something completely new.

What we do is just integrate with all the tools and everything, all the data that you guys already have, and then just automate the workflow. So it makes it very easy.

Example Workflow Automation: From Data Collection to Board Reporting

I needed to do this analysis, I grab the data from here, I send it to my boss, and he then creates a presentation that I'm going to have to share with the board, for an example. That process can be 100 % automated, no longer needing to waste time doing it, having the data connected, putting it inside our Alloflow, the workflow, and having that completely autonomous.

I would agree with him.

Designing for Real-World AI Use: Learning and Trust

Like I mentioned even in the presentation, we start with observing how everybody is working. Like we observed that we are actually using AI, but in a very scattered way.

So that's how we developed this product that we want to use the same behavior, but we want to use it in a way that we also face this challenge that, okay, we are not completely completely trusting the models, but again, we want to use it.

So we are specifically looking at this behavior. And that's how we develop.

Agent Architecture and “Learn When You Need It” Enablement

We have this entire agent architecture that also has a traditional LMS system. But learning but it's organized in a way where you learn when you need it.

So it's depending on finding the right solution is about, I think, knowing if the product aligns with you and so that's why we were focusing on what is the solution that people in various fields are looking for whether it's academies or whether it is HR and we were focusing on this essential characteristic where we

do want to stay updated and we do want to learn the new new tools and new new ways of working but we are also very we are also very overwhelmed and we are also very doubtful of the new tools. So this is the kind of behavior that we are looking for.

Okay, thank you.

Readiness to Implement: Culture, Mindset, and Change Management

1For us, it's never a matter of when you want to implement a solution like ours, it's a matter of if your culture embrace change, because you have to embrace because things always change.

But some companies, they have a fixed mindset. So they don't want to change because because we always have done it in the old -fashioned way. So when you find this company, it's very hard for us to get into.

But when we find companies that always are motivated to improve their process, to question themselves if they are doing the best way, yeah, that's the way we like to work.

Reassessing HR Processes During Implementation

And the funny thing is that, and that happens a lot of times, whenever we implement our ATS in the process of our companies, companies, one of the first steps is reviewing all the HR processes for talent acquisition. And sometimes they just ask us, but why are we doing this?

And then we also have them to consult because you were doing this because, I don't know, five years ago, that was the best way to manage the situation. But now the technology has changed, you can switch to another way of doing so. So it's not a matter of when, but it's a matter of who and what is your mindset.

Technical Integration: Building Use Cases with Enterprise Teams

As Jared said, I'll just add a few things. From a more technical perspective, we work directly with the technical team of the enterprise. And basically, we create the use cases and integrate directly into their systems. So the flow can call whichever third parties they use, whether it's Jira or their databases.

Thank you.

Consultancy and AI Upskilling: Decide, Apply, Build

So sometimes it's a matter of consultancy before to decide to implement a solution. And yes, sometimes the goal is to understand when you meet someone, if he's prepared, if he can understand that you have to switch his mind to start to build something with AI.

in that case and when we teach how to implement AI we start every time from that framework that is decide, applicate and build because now for Talent Garden the professionals must be makers so when you work you need to decide so So you know the solutions and understand which solution is better for you.

And after you can applicate the AI topic that is not a generic topic, is a specific one on your vertical. So applicate it.

But a manager cannot be a real manager now if he isn't a maker. So he cannot build something with his hands because he's not connected to the market.

So any questions? Thanks. Hi.

So just because we're in the EU and there is new regulations related to AI, especially with hiring technologies, how does each of your companies handle the new upcoming AI regulations? Let's go down the line, I guess. Yeah, it's a good question.

Many of these companies using AI have to look at each piece of technology and actually document how they're using it.

It's funny you ask because it's one of our use cases. There's the EU Act, the EU AI Act. It's actually coming up in August 2nd. We, funny enough, help companies get compliant with that act.

So as you can imagine, there's tons of documentation around this. A lot of companies use Alamana in order to extract information from the new act in order to be compliant, review it with their current processes. and then they can find out exactly how they're out of compliant or what needs to be done in order to be compliant with the new acts coming up.

I'm not sure if that answered your question but.

Compliance by Design: Closed Systems and Governance

Maybe for in this HR side is yeah it's really it's really complicated to be compliant. So that's why I think we have a fair advantage because it's a closed system.

1Whatever AI asks in Cosmo, it's limited to your knowledge base. It doesn't go outside your knowledge base.

And we have a CTO who is at forefront of this movement and who knows this compliance and laws very well. And that's why we have an uh agent architecture that uh that uh uh that follows these rules and it doesn't go outside the

closed system that your uh knowledge base has yeah i don't know if you answered it but yeah that's how it works okay for us this team is very relevant of course and so far we are following following what the EU is writing in the new law.

A Moving Target: Keeping Up with Evolving Rules

Of course, it's something that is changing, I don't want to say every day, but at least every month. It's something new, something that got cancelled, something new coming, so it's always an ongoing work.

But eventually, I think this is a good thing, because especially in HR when you manage people data, it's very important to have a very strict regulation on that. We already have the GDPR a couple of, no, more than a couple of years ago that helped EU for the privacy and the data retention of people.

We are far more less aggressive on that than the Americans. And I would say, God, thanks for that.

So we are ready for that. And I think it will help both companies companies and people to thrive in the new era of the AI.

Yeah, I can confirm that in a learning perspective, it's really complicated because we teach AI in our masters really in a lot of verticals. And when we land on the compliance topic, it changes every month. like every month so we have to innovate how our masters every time other

question Italian

AI in Recruitment: Supporting—Not Replacing—Human Contact

Sorry, I don't speak English very well, yes I do.

A question for the HR platform, maybe a stupid question, why does a recruitment agency you have to rely on your platform to have the people who are looking for it and not human contact.

I want to say that our solution does not replace human contact in any way. It is a solution that helps you first of all to create the job...

is it ok if I answer in Italian, right? ok sorry

Distribution, Budgeting, and Screening Automation

to create the job position, to distribute it on the various channels, because today as today there are no more traditional job boards I don't want to make names of the work agency, but I don't go to their offices to look for work, I look for them online

and these tools help me, tools like ours like Encore eCiara, to choose what is the media, the perfect channel for each position, because there are canali molto verticali quindi mi indirizza da quella parte mi aiuta anche a gestire il budget per le sponsorizzazioni perché oggigiorno se tu non sponsorizzi un 'offerta di lavoro questa offerta non viene vista e quindi non trovi candidati mi aiuta poi nella prima fase di screening ma questo non

Why Live Interviews Still Matter

sostituirà mai il contatto umano tant 'è che quello che anche noi consigliamo nella pipeline di selezione di mettere sempre dei colloqui dal vivo perché solo dal vivo che da una parte l 'azienda conosce il candidato but it is also more perhaps even more important on the other hand that the candidate knows the company sees who is in front banally entering an office makes you breathe the corporate culture makes the candidate understand if he really wants to work in that place so we help to automate to speed up everything that is the pass all that is before human contact but human contact remains fundamental and indeed the char is more focused on having relationships with people and less to smash the bureaucracy

Thank you.

Conclusion: Building an Ecosystem for Collaboration

So, if you have any questions or not, we can invite you, because, as I said, here we have a great ecosystem. You have seen startups that live in our ecosystem, that grew in our ecosystem, and we are proud that in our ecosystem, system, people can meet and spread their knowledge and maybe contaminate because maybe they can help together.

And so if you want to speak with Achille, you can book a meeting with him. Thank you guys so much.
