Storytelling and the art of persuasion in the age of AI with Tome Co-Founder & CEO, Keith Peiris
Description
AI like ChatGPT and DALL·E 2 is raising important questions about human creativity. Will AI one day replace us as creators and storytellers? Keith Peiris believes AI can boost creativity rather than hinder it – and he’s built a platform to do just that. Keith is the Co-Founder and CEO of Tome, an AI-powered storytelling and presentation platform that lets anyone turn their ideas into stories and presentations within seconds – from fundraising pitches and sales proposals to landing pages and classroom presentations. He joins the podcast to explain how Tome helps anyone tell compelling stories that convey ideas and persuade others. A former product leader at Instagram, Keith traces Tome’s origins from the start of the pandemic – releasing early prototypes to friends and launching on Product Hunt – to going viral and reaching 10 million users in the months after ChatGPT was released. He shares how, as Tome has scaled, he and his co-founder, Henri Liriani, have balanced using off-the-shelf LLM models with proprietary technology. And he discusses why critical thinking remains an essential and enduring human skill, even with increasingly intelligent generative AI.
