Lauren Leto and Sam Williams both build conversational products, but they come at it from completely different ways.
Leto is an author, entrepreneur and product nerd best known for co-founding the viral website, “Texts From Last Night.” Her latest product, “Listen,” could fundamentally change how we use mobile devices by treating phone numbers as usernames and prioritizing conversation like a social feed. Williams is a software engineer for the Quartz bot studio, where he helped build the organization’s first news app and tinkers with experimental projects.
In this session, Leto and Williams will share tips, tricks, and lessons learned from their efforts to build conversational products inside and outside the newsroom.
