From spiritual delusions to confidently wrong answers, the headlines this month paint a sobering picture of a rapidly advancing technology that still struggles with something fundamental: the truth. In Futurism, we see developers worrying that newer AI models, while more sophisticated, are also getting better at “hallucinating” false information. Over at VICE, a story on AI’s religious inclinations spirals into questions about identity, perception, and whether our machines are starting to believe their own hype. This isn’t science fiction. It’s the reality of generative AI in 2025—and it’s a wake-up call for those of us building in this space. At CodeBaby, we believe that creating emotionally intelligent AI also means creating accountable AI. That’s why transparency isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation. When the Delivery Outpaces the FactsLet’s be clear: hallucination isn’t a bug that only shows up in fringe use cases. It’s baked into the architecture of most large language models. These systems are prediction engines. They don’t “know” facts—they generate the most statistically likely next word. And without the right constraints, they’ll do that with all the confidence of a PhD and the accuracy of a magic 8-ball. That’s a problem—especially when those words are coming from a friendly, lifelike avatar designed to build trust. Why Transparency Can’t Be an AfterthoughtTrust is earned, not engineered. That means AI systems need to do more than sound... --- ### How AI is Transforming Healthcare Access: Insights from CodeBaby’s Norrie Daroga - Published: 2025-06-03 - Modified: 2025-06-03 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2025/06/03/how-ai-is-transforming-healthcare-access-insights-from-codebabys-norrie-daroga/ - Categories: Blog AI in Education: Rethinking What’s Possible In this thought-provoking article, CodeBaby CRO Michelle Collins explores how AI—and specifically emotionally intelligent avatars—can help schools address some of their biggest challenges, from teacher shortages to learning inequities. Rather than replacing educators, AI can support them by personalizing instruction, increasing access, and making learning more inclusive. With the right tools and thoughtful implementation, AI can be a force for real change in the classroom. The global healthcare landscape is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, powered by advancements in generative AI. As highlighted in recent thought leadership reports from the World Economic Forum, McKinsey, PwC and others, AI is poised to address critical challenges such as workforce shortages, patient care customization, and equitable access to services. At CodeBaby, we are not only witnessing this revolution but actively contributing to it through our partnership with The Society of Jesus in the Dominican Republic. AI in Healthcare: A Global Perspective The World Economic Forum’s Patient-First Health with Generative AI report predicts a potential alleviation of the global healthcare worker shortage—from 15 million to 10 million by 2030. Generative AI can triage patients more efficiently, manage diseases care, and provide personalized health education. Similarly, McKinsey’s Generative AI in Healthcare study reveals that 59% of healthcare organizations are partnering with AI vendors to develop bespoke solutions. These insights underscore a paradigm shift in how healthcare services are delivered and optimized. Forrester’s Predictions 2025: Healthcare and Capgemini’s Supercharging the Future of Healthcare reports envision AI handling up to 50% of healthcare activities by 2045, encompassing diagnostics, patient care, and drug research. Meanwhile, PwC highlights the administrative efficiency AI can bring, with 77% of health executives prioritizing AI investment to improve patient outcomes. Despite these promising advancements, reports such as Duke Health’s AI Governance in Health Systems and IBM’s Delivering Responsible AI in Healthcare stress the importance of governance, transparency, and equity. Ensuring AI tools mitigate biases and deliver auditable, explainable outcomes... --- ### Augmenting Educators: Scaling Expertise and Support with Emotionally Intelligent AI - Published: 2025-05-29 - Modified: 2025-06-02 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2025/05/29/augmenting-educators-scaling-expertise-and-support-with-emotionally-intelligent-ai/ - Categories: Blog AI in Education: Rethinking What’s Possible In this thought-provoking article, CodeBaby CRO Michelle Collins explores how AI—and specifically emotionally intelligent avatars—can help schools address some of their biggest challenges, from teacher shortages to learning inequities. Rather than replacing educators, AI can support them by personalizing instruction, increasing access, and making learning more inclusive. With the right tools and thoughtful implementation, AI can be a force for real change in the classroom. Emotionally Intelligent AI: Amplifying Educators’ Impact and Expanding Student SupportBy Michelle Collins, Chief Revenue Officer, CodeBabyHigher education is undergoing a transformation—not just in how students access coursework, but in how institutions deliver support, foster engagement, and personalize learning. Today’s learners are diverse in every sense: age, background, ability, life stage. They’re balancing jobs, caregiving, and economic uncertainty. They expect on-demand resources, but also meaningful human connection. This evolving landscape poses a critical question: How can institutions offer personalized, high-touch support at scale—without overwhelming staff? Extending Human Capacity Through AIRather than replacing human interaction, emotionally intelligent AI can extend its reach. Digital tools, when designed with empathy in mind, can manage high-volume, low-complexity tasks—reinforcing lessons, guiding platform navigation, answering frequently asked questions—while freeing up faculty and staff to focus on individualized support and complex advising. It’s not about digitizing education. It’s about making it feel more personal than ever while allowing educators to focus their time and expertise where it’s needed most. Personalization That Adapts to Every LearnerOne-size-fits-all solutions no longer serve the wide range of learners entering higher ed. AI-driven tools can dynamically adjust tone, pacing, and delivery style to meet students where they are—whether that’s a first-generation student navigating unfamiliar systems or a working parent catching up on coursework after midnight. By tailoring support to individual needs, institutions can improve comprehension, boost confidence, and make student services more inclusive and effective. Empathy as an Educational ImperativeThe misconception that AI is cold or impersonal overlooks the potential of relational design.... --- ### AI in Education: A New Era for Learning and Equity - Published: 2025-04-21 - Modified: 2025-04-21 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2025/04/21/ai-in-education-a-new-era-for-learning-and-equity-2/ - Categories: Blog AI in Education: Rethinking What’s Possible In this thought-provoking article, CodeBaby CRO Michelle Collins explores how AI—and specifically emotionally intelligent avatars—can help schools address some of their biggest challenges, from teacher shortages to learning inequities. Rather than replacing educators, AI can support them by personalizing instruction, increasing access, and making learning more inclusive. With the right tools and thoughtful implementation, AI can be a force for real change in the classroom. Across the country—and around the world—education systems are stretched. Teacher shortages, particularly in rural and underfunded communities, are leaving students without access to quality instruction. And the result is all too familiar: existing gaps in achievement continue to widen. But while these challenges aren’t new, the tools we now have to address them are. Artificial Intelligence (AI), once a futuristic concept, is quickly becoming a practical, scalable solution for some of education’s most pressing problems. Not by replacing teachers, but by supporting them—and by helping schools provide personalized, equitable learning at scale. Rethinking Education’s Biggest BottlenecksAI in Education: A New Era for Learning and Equity One of the most exciting possibilities with AI in education is its ability to ease the burden on teachers while improving access for students. In districts where finding enough qualified educators—especially in STEM fields—is nearly impossible, AI can help bridge the gap. It can assist with lesson planning, supplement classroom instruction, and provide one-on-one support to students who might otherwise fall through the cracks. Just as importantly, AI systems can adapt to individual learning styles. Some students might respond well to structured, no-nonsense feedback, while others need encouragement or a coaching tone. Intelligent tools can adjust their approach based on how each student best absorbs information. That kind of personalization, previously limited to private tutoring or highly resourced schools, could soon be available to students everywhere. Supporting the Students Who Need It Most Students don’t just fall behind because they lack motivation—they often fall behind... --- ### Ethics in AI: Data Usage and Embeddings — The Invisible Architecture of AI - Published: 2025-04-15 - Modified: 2025-06-04 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2025/04/15/ai-in-education-a-new-era-for-learning-and-equity/ - Categories: Blog What powers AI isn’t just algorithms—it’s us. In this thought-provoking piece, CodeBaby CRO Michelle Collins explores the invisible foundation of AI: the data and embeddings that shape how machines “understand” the world. From hidden bias in training sets to the ethics of consent in data use, this article dives into the real moral questions behind the tech. If we want AI to reflect humanity, we need to ensure it reflects the right parts. By Michelle Collins, Chief Revenue Officer, CodeBaby As AI becomes more integrated into our everyday lives—from virtual educators to real-time customer service avatars—there’s a growing conversation about ethics. But much of it focuses on the surface: what AI says, what it looks like, how it behaves. That’s important, of course. But what often gets missed is what’s underneath: the data. Behind every AI interaction is a web of inputs—massive datasets, curated (or not), processed (hopefully), and embedded into mathematical representations of our world. It’s easy to forget that even the most lifelike avatar is ultimately powered by numbers and patterns. And those numbers? They come from us. At CodeBaby, we work with conversational, generative and agentic AI. These systems rely heavily on embeddings—compressed representations of language, meaning and behavior that allow AI to "understand" and respond to humans. Embeddings are the translation layer between human thought and machine logic. But that translation isn’t neutral. It’s built from data, and data is never just data. It’s decisions, assumptions and often, bias. The Ethics of Embedding Human Experience When we create an embedding, we’re essentially deciding what matters. Which words, ideas, and associations get represented—and which don’t. If a model is trained mostly on western, English-language content, for instance, then its embedding space is going to reflect that worldview. The result? An AI that may sound global but thinks local. That’s why transparency matters. It’s not enough to know what a model can do—we have to know how it does it. What... --- ### AI Shouldn’t Replace Us—It Should Work With Us - Published: 2025-03-26 - Modified: 2025-06-04 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2025/03/26/ai-shouldnt-replace-us-it-should-work-with-us/ - Categories: Blog In response to the viral “Worker Replacement Program” slide from OpenAI, CodeBaby offers a different perspective: AI should augment human capabilities, not eliminate them. While hype around automation grows, real-world applications show that AI works best when paired with people. From streamlining tasks to enhancing learning through emotionally intelligent avatars, CodeBaby champions a future where AI empowers the workforce—not replaces it. By Michelle Collins A recently leaked slide titled “OpenAI’s Worker Replacement Program” caused a stir across social media this week—and for good reason. The slide lays out an ambitious (and eyebrow-raising) plan to offer AI agents at monthly subscription prices ranging from $2,000 to $20,000, with the goal of replacing entry-level employees, junior developers and even full research teams. While headlines like this grab attention, they also raise serious questions: Is AI really ready to take over human jobs? Should we be worried? At CodeBaby, we view this conversation through a very different lens. We don’t believe AI is here to replace people. We believe it's here to augment human capability, not eliminate it. The Hype and the Reality Let’s be honest: There’s a lot of hype around AI right now, and OpenAI’s so-called “Worker Replacement Program” reflects that. But behind the bold claims are some harsh realities: High-performance AI models require massive computing resources, making them costly and energy-intensive. Fully-autonomous AI is yet to be widely tested, and current shortcomings are likely to be amplified without human oversight. Blind automation without human context introduces risk: PR nightmares, biased outputs, and misaligned objectives. We’re still in the early stages of the AI adoption curve, and history tells us this phase is usually followed by setbacks, corrections and recalibration. A More Sustainable Path: Augmentation, Not Replacement At CodeBaby, we take a different approach. Our mission is to create emotionally intelligent, human-centric AI that helps people do their jobs better—not erase them... --- ### CodeBaby Partners with the Society of Jesus to Revolutionize Healthcare Access in the Dominican Republic - Published: 2025-03-26 - Modified: 2025-06-04 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2025/03/26/codebaby-partners-with-the-society-of-jesus-to-revolutionize-healthcare-access-in-the-dominican-republic/ - Categories: News Items CodeBaby has partnered with the Society of Jesus to launch PrimarAIcare, a groundbreaking initiative using AI avatars to improve healthcare access in 160 remote communities across the Dominican Republic.

However, Norrie Daroga, CEO of iDAvatars, bought the CodeBaby platform and technology and spent four years working on the product, returning in 2022 with intelligent digital avatars that display compassion, empathy and a sense of humor. In addition to Milwaukee, the company also has employees in Chicago, Colorado and Connecticut. How would you describe CodeBaby’s product/service? Norrie Daroga, president: “We build virtual characters (avatars) that combine animation, speech, text, natural language understanding and generative artificial intelligence to create real-time experiences which engage and inform users. The avatars can convey emotions and values using these technologies and techniques. ” What needs are you addressing with CodeBaby? Is it the same as when you started, or has it changed over time? “We lack sufficient skilled professionals (doctors, nurses, customer service, social workers, etc. ) and these professionals spend a considerable amount of time doing tasks that can be performed by our avatars. Our avatars are available around the clock and can engage in several hundred/thousand experiences simultaneously. They tend not to have bad days, bring personal conflicts to work, or need breaks. ” What are the next key steps in the development of the product? “We are developing avatars capable of conversations for mental health, loneliness, and personal coaching which we believe will bring the benefits of AI to the mass population. ” What’s... --- ### CodeBaby President Norrie Daroga Honored among Entrepreneurs of the Year by BizTimes Magazine - Published: 2023-12-04 - Modified: 2023-12-04 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2023/12/04/codebaby-president-norrie-daroga-honored-among-entrepreneurs-of-the-year-by-biztimes-magazine/ - Categories: Blog CodeBaby, a pioneering firm in the realm of conversational AI and 3D animated avatars, is thrilled to announce that its President, Norrie Daroga, has been honored as one of the Entrepreneurs of the Year by BizTimes Magazine in Milwaukee.

Codebaby, which refers to its virtual assistants as conversational AI avatars, is employing the generative AI model to handle dialogue with customers as an experiment for now but is planning to employ OpenAI’s models more widely in the future, joining the growing number of enterpise AI service providers jumping into the generative AI boom. Codebaby ChatGPT To start, Codebaby is employing generative AI on its own website as a demo and an option for its website’s AI assistant. There is no ChatGPT API, but based on the response time for the demo, Codebaby appears to be relaying the query from the user to ChatGPT online, then displaying the answer and employing its text-to-speech service to read the answer out loud. That’s as opposed to services like Merlin referring to using ChatGPT but actually using an API of GPT-3. 5, the model OpenAI used as the foundation of ChatGPT. Beyond the demo page, Codebaby’s interactive helper uses Google Dialogflow as usual, but if users ask a question that Dialogflow doesn’t have an answer for, the bot asks if they want to sign up for the ChatGPT option. The sign-up is to ensure people are aware that the generative AI doesn’t have a perfect record of accuracy and may give the wrong answer. Codebaby was acquired by IDavatars in 2016, which then shut down in 2018. Codebaby relaunched last year with a... --- ### We've put a face (and a body) to ChatGPT - Published: 2023-02-06 - Modified: 2023-02-06 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2023/02/06/weve-put-a-face-and-a-body-to-chatgpt/ - Categories: Blog Like the majority of tech-minded people (and even those who don't pay much attention to the IT world), we were blown away with the early December announcement about ChatGPT and our initial forays into trying it out. I attended a networking event the night of the announcement, and discussions about what it could do – and the implications for business – were plentiful. Would it destroy content-creation companies? Was it ethical? Was it accurate? How could it be used in business? How could we use it to take care of some of the more tiresome, repetitive tasks we do on a daily basis? And since those very early days (we're still just a couple of months in), the questions and discussions continue to grow. Within days of the announcement, our amazing dev team had an avatar using ChatGPT for conversations. Within weeks of that, we had internal tooling to connect it to Google Dialogflow as our default fallback, to create new avatars connected to the technology, and tooling to help us with training data generation and model training. As we continue to experiment with ChatGPT, and other projects from OpenAI, we're committed to being transparent and mindful of the fact that, well to put it simply, "ChatGPT lies. Quite a bit. And very convincingly. " We've started with two applications of the technology on our own website. Our primary avatar, that helps users through our site and answers any questions they might have, still runs exclusively on Google Dialogflow.

Think about it like stage directions in a play or movie production. In your script, you’ll use these tags to “direct” your avatar to use particular “gestures” or animations, control vocal attributes, and interact with the webpage or application where your avatar lives. Our CBML tags are inserted into your response scripts at the point where you want them to be enabled, and your avatar will perform them where you specify. They work whether you’re using a Natural Language Processor (NLP), such as Google Dialogflow, to control your conversation or if you’re using your own conversation against our CodeBaby Avatar API. In our Response Generator, once you have added all of your desired CBML tags and previewed the scene by clicking the “Render Scene” button, copy your tagged text from the Response Content text area and paste it into your NLP or your code where you place your responses. Gesture Tags CodeBaby Avatars are pre-programmed with “idle” gestures that help make your avatars look natural when they’re speaking with your customers. But for some conversations, you might want to add gestures in the context of your responses to emphasize points, express empathy, or direct customers’ attention to a certain part of the screen. That’s where our CodeBaby Gesture tags come in handy.

Inaugural board members Dr. Alphonso Brown, Dr. Dipankar Chakravarti, and Dr. Jamie Thomson will advise CodeBaby as the company moves to broaden its offerings in the remote patient monitoring and digital health fields.

"This requires developing various personas for our avatars and then matching those with people who are interacting with the avatars.

Whenever we create a new character or new features for our platform, we are always mindful of what more we could be doing to make our avatars not just available, but also highly effective and relatable, for the widest audience of potential users possible. We exist to make communication not just easier, but easier for everyone. Providing users with the option to use text or speech, optimizing our UI for assistive reading devices, and creating engaging, empathetic characters that make users feel comfortable and heard are keys to our being able to reach as many people as possible. And the very style of our characters makes it more likely that users with Autism Spectrum Disorder can engage with our characters than they would be with an actual human agent. We're going to take more of a look into that here. In an article published in 2018 in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, authors Gray Atherton and Liam Cross take a deep dive into the issues facing individuals with ASD in relation to "reading" the faces of anthropomorphized animal or cartoon characters vs. those of humans. The article is well cited and deserving of a read for those who want a thorough understanding of the various theories around the challenges individuals with ASD face in judging the mental states and intentions of humans, and how each of those theories may apply to why,... --- ### Digital Characters in eLearning - Published: 2022-07-14 - Modified: 2022-07-14 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2022/07/14/digital-characters-in-elearning-2/ - Categories: Blog Avatars, actors and pedagogical characters are just some of the many terms describing characters representing humans in an online environment. Prior to animation tools and interactive character solutions, such as CodeBaby®, characters primarily took the form of 2D photorealistic cartoons or even anthropomorphized animals. Learner expectations and technological advances in eLearning development make animated character mediated learning easier to implement while at the same time employing more sophisticated instructional design techniques. But why are integrated animated characters beneficial to the eLearning environment? The study by Byron Reeves : The Benefits of Interactive Online Characters (2004) concluded that the same social competencies that facilitate human-to-human interaction also drive the success of human-media interactions. The following are some of the primary conclusions as to why animated characters provide serious advantages in eLearning. Emotional, interactive characters bring social intelligence to online learning. Simulating a social exchange and enhancing the environment with an interactive character leads to an increase in memory and trust of information. The degree of character interactivity leads to heightened realism improving the value of the learning and interaction. (Reeves, B. 2004) Why are digital characters a better solution to achieve the benefits outlined above? Put simply, characters are practical. While other methods such as audio, video and even conversational text can be used to create a socially intelligent context, animated characters may be more cost effective, easier to replicate, never tire, and are always present. Making the Human Connection in a Digital World How do you maximize the use of... --- ### It's Time to Start Planning How You're Going to Help Your Employees Through Open Enrollment - Published: 2022-05-19 - Modified: 2022-05-19 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2022/05/19/its-time-to-start-planning-how-youre-going-to-help-your-employees-through-open-enrollment-2/ - Categories: Blog Most consumers rank choosing a health plan below doing their taxes and getting a cavity filled at the dentist. Unfortunately, open enrollment periods force people to go through the process of choosing a plan. But with help from employers and administrators, the process doesn’t have to be painful. Could you be doing more now to make sure the next open enrollment period is easier for employees and HR alike? Many people still don’t understand the differences between Consumer Driven Health Plans (CDHP), High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP), or Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). The acronym labyrinth can be complicated and overwhelming, especially if companies haven’t done enough to explain what these plans can do for employees. As more businesses offer HDHPs, human resource departments and companies may now require employees to actively make a decision during open enrollment regardless if they want to stay with their existing plan. Do your employees really understand the benefits and challenges with these types of plans? Consumer Driven Health Plans (CDHP) and High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP) The goal of these plans is to put people in control of their health care by pairing low premium plans with tax advantaged funding accounts like Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs). It seems like a great idea in theory, but it falls flat when you realize that only 11% of people understand the four basic components of an HSA. You don’t really need numbers to understand why consumers are confused, however.

Without the work of some of these pioneers and others like them, it wouldn't be possible to do what we do today. We'd also like to take a moment to recognize the women and organizations today that influence our mission to develop conversations and interfaces that are accessible, representative, and inclusive for everyone. Animation Lotte Reiniger was a pioneering animator who, in the early 20th century, developed an animation technique that expressed emotions and actions in a way not possible with silent films of her era. Other animators tended to lean primarily on facial expressions to convey emotions or actions. But Reiniger's characters, which were cutout animations in the style of silhouette puppetry, required her to rely on gestures and action to convey that emotion. We take a page from Reiniger's book today in the philosophy behind our characters. We know from Reiniger's work, as well as research, that gestures really do convey emotions and can help users create connections with characters. Natural Language Processing and Conversational AI Margaret Masterman in 1953 created the Cambridge Language Research Unit. Masterman worked for decades as a linguist and philosopher, emphasizing (and arguing for) the importance of semantics in language processing and establishing a vision for language processing that far outstripped the capabilities of computers available to her. She continually fought for funding for the CLRU at a time when computers relied on punchcards and... --- ### Press Release - Feb. 28, 2022 - CodeBaby, Inc. announces launch of new partner portal, enabling integrators and agencies to easily add CodeBaby Avatars to customer sites - Published: 2022-03-01 - Modified: 2022-03-01 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2022/03/01/press-release-022822-codebaby-partner-portal/ - Categories: Press Releases FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Feb. 28, 2022 CodeBaby, Inc. announces launch of new partner portal, enabling integrators and agencies to easily add CodeBaby Avatars to customer sites Portal makes it simple to add Conversational AI to sites and webapps Milwaukee, WI: CodeBaby, Inc. , today announced the release of its new CodeBaby Avatars Partner Portal, designed to make it fast and easy for systems integrators, contact center providers, and marketing agencies to add Conversational AI to their sites with CodeBaby’s engaging and empathetic avatars. “The new partner portal was developed to meet the needs of customers using CodeBaby Studio, a licensed product that was discontinued a few years ago.

In reality, it needs some human intelligence to help it along. "I'm sorry. I couldn't understand that. Could you rephrase your question? " Anyone who's interacted with an "intelligent" chatbot has run into that seeming dead end at least once or twice. It's completely to be expected – even the best planned conversation corpus and supplemental questions set will rarely anticipate EVERY relevant question a user could ask of it. But for a conversation architect, those user dead ends can be a goldmine for continually improving conversations and greatly reducing the number of "Please ask your question another way" requests that end users encounter. Manage Users Expectations You know there's no way to anticipate everything. So it's vital to manage your users' expectations around that. Your fallback responses when a user's inquiry can't be matched confidently to an intent in your conversation need to ask them to try again with a different phrasing to prevent easy-to-catch errors. But in those cases when you just didn't anticipate the question, a bit of levity and personality can help manage your users' expectations of what they can find through your conversational chatbot. One of our favorite ways of handling this is a response that is apologetic and takes the opportunity to educate users a bit about conversational AI. "I'm sorry, I don't know how to answer your question. But I'm getting smarter all of the time, so please check back with me in the future. Until then, . " You let the customer know that you're continuing to improve the service you provide and... --- ### Curing Online Health Care Provider CX Ailments - Published: 2021-10-15 - Modified: 2021-10-15 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2021/10/15/curing-online-health-care-provider-cx-ailments/ - Categories: Blog - Tags: customer experience, customer service, health care Horror stories aren't limited to just streaming series and macabre writers. Customer experience nightmares can be brutal for a business. But the right CX solutions take the fear out of online support for health care providers. ‘Tis the season for frights and horror stories and customer service has taken a beating at most consumer-facing companies the past 18 months. Some companies have fared better, and this is one such success story. Big Health Group (BHG) was plagued with complaints on social media, consumer sites and state government agency sites, relating to its Medicare, Medicaid, and Affordable Care Act offerings. Although BHG had spent millions on its websites, consumers found it very difficult to find the information they were seeking, and often inundated the contact center with calls that exceeded the capacity of the contact center. The pain points revolved around: Is a provider or medication covered under my plan? Issues on policies for reimbursement. Ability to check and edit personal information online. Endless re-routing of calls to contact center. Denial of procedures and customer issues with pre-authorization requests. Unable to find the “best” plan to meet my needs. Our heroes are Ryan and Kelly, who have considerable digital marketing and customer service experience. Ryan approached his manager, Kelly, with research he had conducted on chatbots. These round smiley faces seemed to be the answer to many of the questions consumers were seeking on BHG’s multiple websites. Kelly was skeptical but she authorized a pilot program in one Midwest state to try out the chatbots. The result was as Kelly expected, a lukewarm reception by customers. However, she analyzed the data and found that the chatbots were not engaging enough to customers, did not provide information at... --- ### Press Release - Aug. 20, 2021 - TMMI Expands Into Artificial Intelligence In Co-Development Agreement With CodeBaby, Inc. - Published: 2021-08-20 - Modified: 2021-08-20 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2021/08/20/press-release-aug-20-2021/ - Categories: Press Releases TMMI's Co-Development agreement with virtual character pioneer, CodeBaby, Inc. will propel the Company's growth into diverse markets through the integration of several new technologies. The co-development will highlight the utilization of CodeBaby's next generation, emotionally intelligent avatars designed to be integrated with TMMI and other technologies. TMMI President, Michael Kozole made the announcement stating, "TMMI has always focused on high quality, cutting-edge, video technology since its beginning in 1990. Over the recent months, TMMI has assembled this opportunity to bring together an association of top-level talent and shared technology development with CodeBaby, that will create emotionally intelligent avatars that deliver all-new experiences in artificial intelligence with greater access to a broad base of businesses and consumers". The CodeBaby teams come with over 20 years of experience in animation, gaming and artificial intelligence. Founded in 2001, CodeBaby attracted the attention of two doctors in Alberta, Canada, who had co-founded a video game company (Bioware) in 1995. Following a successful sale of Bioware, these doctors joined CodeBaby in 2008 and developed proprietary tools which allowed clients to implement beautifully animated training courses and tutorials with little technology expertise. They built CodeBaby into a company that leveraged gaming expertise to drive interaction and retention for Fortune 500 customers such as United Healthcare, BCBS of Maryland, Guardian Life Insurance Company and MetLife within healthcare, financial services, and eCommerce. Nfinity Avatars, a company focused on artificial intelligence and natural language processing, acquired CodeBaby in 2016, combining the two companies' proprietary processes to convey empathy in... --- ### 14 Keys to Consider When Adding a Chatbot to Improve Your Customer Service - Published: 2021-02-15 - Modified: 2021-02-15 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2021/02/15/14-keys-to-consider-when-adding-a-chatbot-to-improve-your-customer-service/ - Categories: Blog - Tags: ai, chatbots, interactive avatars, nlp Chatbots can increase customer satisfaction while saving companies money. But unless you're mindful of some of the challenges they might present to your customers, you could be missing out on their benefits – and frustrating your users. Natural Language Processing (NLP) powered chatbots have fundamentally changed online customer service over the past half decade or so, providing always-available support to customers and saving companies as much as 30% on their customer service costs. But there are some challenges posed by traditional chatbots that intelligent avatars can help overcome. We've got 14 keys you should consider when planning to use chatbots for your site. THE CHATBOT ADVANTAGE How Chatbots Help Customer Service 1) 24/7 Availability By being available 24/7, chatbots can help your customers find answers outside your support hours, keeping customers happier and accommodating users who can't call you during your support window. This opportunity to service customers at any time leads to a reduction in annoyance (everyone knows how frustrating it is to have to "call back in the morning" when reaching a dead end on an IVR). This increased availability of customer service – especially during a pandemic that makes many kinds of customer service much more challenging – is crucial to keep customers satisfied. 2) Contact Center Deflection According to Chatbots magazine, chatbots can automate 30% or more of the tasks of a traditional call center. This significantly reduces staffing needs and decreases contact center seat license costs. Additionally, more of the calls that make it through to your contact center are ones that can benefit from human intervention, making sure your best agents are available to take calls that customers really need them to handle. 3) Better Use the Content You Already Have... --- ### Intelligent Virtual Assistants Increase the 'Care' Side of Healthcare - Published: 2020-12-15 - Modified: 2020-12-15 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2020/12/15/intelligent-virtual-assistants-increase-the-care-side-of-healthcare/ - Categories: Blog - Tags: digital characters, intelligent virtual assistants, medical virtual assistants, patient care Medical health apps have become an integral part of the American healthcare system. With the proliferation of high-end devices, and the need for remote care presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, mobile virtual assistants are helping increase the 'care' side of healthcare. A key goal for intelligent virtual assistants is to reduce the amount of time that clinicians spend on administrative work. By taking over roles like EHR data-entry, retrieving needed information from patients, and tracking real-time patient insight, mobile virtual assistants improve the care providers are able to deliver patients. The healthcare community has spoken, and they like what they see As of March 2020, 27% of consumers are using some kind of virtual assistant every day, from online assistants to smart-speaker devices from Amazon, Google, and Apple. 74. 5% of patients look online to find out about doctors, dentists, or medical care. Virtual assistants can both decrease patient frustration and increase provider cost savings. A Deloitte report found “the health care system is so complex that more than half (52%) of consumers are unable to navigate it on their own, triggering avoidable customer service calls and more costly care. ” Patients are more and more comfortable sharing their health data online. That data is coming from health apps, showing an increasing comfort level with using technology to help manage health. “42% of US consumers said they used tools to measure fitness and track health-improvement goals. Though this has stayed the same since 2018, it’s a significant jump from just... --- ### Journey to the Center of the Uncanny Valley - Published: 2020-12-10 - Modified: 2020-12-10 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2020/12/10/journey-to-the-center-of-the-uncanny-valley/ - Categories: Blog - Tags: animation design, digital characters, uncanny valley In the world of avatars, interactive virtual assistants, and robots, it’s vital to steer clear of the “uncanny valley. ” Originally coined “Bukimi no Tani Genshō” by Japanese roboticist Masarhiro Moti, the uncanny valley is “the phenomenon whereby a computer-generated figure or humanoid robot bearing a near-identical resemblance to a human being arouses a sense of unease or revulsion in the person viewing it. ” Or in layman’s terms, non-humans that appear too human-like are creepy, and people don’t like them. The uncanny valley isn’t a matter of opinion, either. Dr. Ayse Saygin, Principal Investigator and Associate Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropsychology at UC San Diego, has conducted several experiments that scan the brain for reactions to the uncanny valley. And the responses are completely involuntary. The brain sends mixed signals when a person perceives that a subject is human, but it lacks all of the basic characteristics (i. e. it waves like a robot or looks a little too cartoonish still). “Your brain’s gonna be like, ‘Hey, wait a minute, you told me this was a human, and now this area told me that this is not moving like a human. So, I have to really compute that,’” Saygin said. An article in The Atlantic hit the nail on the head when Sara Watson wrote, “The uncanny valley of robotics is grounded in the social cues of the visual. We are repulsed by the plastic skin, by the stilted movements, by the soulless eyes of our robotic counterparts.... --- ### 7 Reasons a Digital Character Brings Value to Your Website - Published: 2020-04-20 - Modified: 2020-04-20 - URL: https://codebaby.com/2020/04/20/7-reasons-a-digital-character-brings-value-to-your-website/ - Categories: Blog - Tags: customer experience, customer service, digital characters, interactive digital assistants, virtual digital assistants What makes one website more memorable and likeable than another? The websites that make a favorable impression seem to strike a certain balance between visual aesthetics and user functionality, while also making the viewer’s experience engaging. While there are a number of tactics to consider in enhancing your visitors’ experience, one idea to explore is the use of an interactive, digital character. We are not talking about something like Clippy, but a highly realistic character that “lives” on your website and is customized via appearance, voice and interactions so that your visitor gets the most out of their visit. Here are seven reasons why a digital character can take your website experience – and its effectiveness – to the next level. Digital characters: 1) Make your site more memorable. A digital character can be thought of as your online brand ambassador. By creating an emotionally warm experience by welcoming viewers, guiding their viewing experience and answering any questions, people are more likely to remember your website. 2) Engage the auditory sense as opposed to just visual. Most websites employ only words to convey value propositions, special offers, etc. to visitors. A digital character uses voice to help guide the website experience, which engages the visitor on another emotional level. 3) Decrease page abandonment. When website visitors cannot find what they are looking for on your website, they leave and resume their browsing/shopping experience elsewhere. Digital characters can be programmed to offer the viewer advice about finding the appropriate section, page... --- ---
