Having brilliant team who bring and utilize a whole lots of ideas into the project is one of the many reasons that success is in fold for this so much anticipated project. Good luck to the New Members and Team.
Even in my current job in a high-tech company, AI is a trending area which brings in a lot of potentials. One thing just needs to be careful and exhaustive in the phase 3 comparison is probably with between Effect.AI and the direct competitors - GEMS, DBC, SGN; the view is better be comprehensive and not seen as overly one-sided. My opinion.
