KEY TAKEAWAYS
Jason's journey began in the gig economy, specifically with the founding of Upwork, and evolved into the AI space with the creation of Rev.

The integration of large language models (LLMs) into Rev's platform aims to enhance user productivity by providing tailored insights and summaries from recorded conversations, making it easier for professionals to extract valuable information.

BEST MOMENTS

"We want to delight the customers. And we experimented with a couple of different kinds of work. We found our stride in what I would call speech detect services."

"Your tool was one of the first AI tools that I ever used before AI was even sexy."

"We think LLMs are just this tremendous breakthrough that's creating more productivity for people every single day."

"If you ask everyone in the company to come up with their prompts, it's going to be a mess. What would make more sense is to define one template."

"If you don't educate people on how to use it for their job-specific function, you're not going to realize an ROI with what you're doing."
