- Enhanced interaction with LLMs in the context of smart voice agents for improved usability, addressing issues such as:
- Hallucinations: LLMs may generate outputs that seem plausible but are factually incorrect.
- Ambiguity in outputs: Inconsistent or vague responses can cause confusion in automated workflows.
- Lack of accountability: Identifying the root cause of errors in an LLM’s predictions can be challenging. @@ -69,7 +69,7 @@
