Emily talked to us about Adobe Sensei, a new AI offering from Adobe. According to Adobe, Sensei understands image and video data better than anything we currently use, and learns from the way we use it to constantly improve.
Chatbots
From Jenny, we learnt that companies can enter into dialogue with customers by using chatbots, and through them nurture more personal brand experiences. Developments in AI are making these experiences more natural, intuitive and instant – and brands are already capitalising on this.
Bob Ross
Dan chose to talk about Bob Ross: American painter, author and presenter of The Joy of Painting, which was on TV in the mid 1980s-1990’s. As a teacher, his calming nature and inspirational qualities make him a great positive role model for trying to learn new things.
Funnily enough, Jack also chose Bob Ross. He set the team a task: create a small picture in the style of Bob using nothing but a four-coloured biro. The results were great, and the whole process was a lot of fun.
Tempt One aka Eyewriter
Sam introduced us to Tempt One, a prolific 80s graffiti writer who was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease in 2003. With all but his eyes and mind paralysed, Tempt One was given a set of glasses invented to move a mouse pointer, and relearnt his entire craft anew, becoming famed artist Eyewriter.
Hello Fresh
Jayne talked about Hello Fresh and posed the question: why not learn to cook? Hello Fresh was one of the earliest companies to offer meal-kits through the post. Their simple recipe cards and pre-measured ingredients make it easy for even the worst cooks to learn to produce tasty, home-cooked meals.
Julian Warren
Last but definitely not least, Will talked about artist Julian Warren. Warren was a ‘property guy’ who, after the economic downturn of the early 90s, retrained himself in metalwork and sculpting. His work can be found around various university cities such as Bristol and Oxford.
