Bird AI: Revolutionizing Intelligent Collaboration Through Advanced AI Integration
CXOToday has engaged in an exclusive interview with Nishant Rajawat Founder & CEO, Bird AI
1.Please share the idea behind conceptualizing Bird AI?
Bird AI’s inception hails from our decade-long journey with EyeRIS, our first product that revolutionized interactive learning and collaboration. EyeRIS transformed any surface into an interactive one, gaining us over 15 million global users, and making us the top-selling portable interactive tech. This success was amplified by partnerships with major OEMs like NEC, Viewsonic, and Sony among several others large display manufacturers.
However, we observed an industry shift towards more intelligent collaboration technologies and identified a growing demand for remote access, enhanced AI capabilities, and compatibility with various screens. This insight led to the birth of Bird AI. By leveraging the strengths of EyeRIS and integrating advanced AI features, Bird AI not only fulfills evolving user needs but also disrupts the intelligent collaboration industry, creating a unified, versatile solution that delivers an unmatched experience for users, wherever they are, whatever device they use.
2.What specific features does Bird AI offer that set it apart from other platforms?
