Joule vs. Cortana (discontinued)

In our line of work, we need access to specific answers to specific questions daily in an ever-changing environment. We have all the data at our fingertips but it is difficult in a very short amount of preparation time to find the right data points. Joule will change the game for us in terms of match preparation, analysis of communication, detection of patterns and more. Joule is not (yet) suited for strategic decision making but can give elements that we can use to do that

It's easy for anyone who is expecting some simple AI problems like fetching the keywords, understanding the intent, language translation, etc. to be solved from an existing database and all they need is to connect to their APIs via a subscription model. But for complex use cases, there is still room for improvement like customization of underlying AI models for a specific use case like identifying some unique identifiers with respect to industry.

Agent force is tied into Salesforce dot com directly. Since we are using SAP, it was a no brainer to use Joule rather than something like Agent force or Einstein. On top of that, Joule just seemed like a better product overall with better functionality. This is why we chose to use Joule over the competition.

IBM Watson Assistant has been early into this market and has improved a lot over time compared to Azure AI Cortana. More documentation related to the services. But Ease of integration Azure AI ranks over IBM Watson Assistant. And again in terms of services offered under the ecosystem, Azure AI precedes IBM Watson Assitant.

• Negative considering clients now need to consider the licensing for multiple super agents and orchestrator agents.

• Difficult to ascertain the ROI as we are a software house who have developed a module in our application using Cortana. However for companies that use our software I would say the use of sentiment analysis in our application could free up at least 1 full time resource to be used elsewhere in their organisation.
