In this episode of the ConvoAI World Podcast, host Hermes Frangoudis interviews Diana Zhu, Head of the US Office at RiseLink, regarding their development of ultra-low-power edge AI chips designed to make hardware more intelligent and accessible. Diana highlights the BK7259 chip, which utilizes a multi-core architecture and an on-board NPU to enable complex tasks like facial recognition and voice processing entirely on-device for enhanced privacy and speed. Through a strategic partnership with Agora, RiseLink delivers ultra-low latency and barge-in capabilities, allowing for natural, real-time dialogue in applications ranging from smart home security and e-bikes to interactive educational toys. Diana concludes by envisioning a multimodal future where everyday objects leverage local memory and AI to act as personalized, interactive assistants.
