Andrej Gregus and Richard Guga, co-founders of Nettle, a Slovak-based AI start-up, spoke to Rudolf Falat, founder of the Voice of FinTech podcast, about their holographic, smart, retail banker and leveraging AI and holograms in Financial Services and elsewhere.

Here is what they talked about:

Andrej, Richard – what are your backgrounds? How did you get to what you do today, and how did you meet?
You are co-founders of Nettle – what is Nettle about?
You built a holographic banker for SLSP – how did this come about?
Your holographic banker is called Vesna – why Vesna, and can a customer change the name and appearance as they prefer, like voices on your iPhone?
What were customer reactions to Vesna?
What can Vesna do in addition to greeting customers at the branch?
What kind of technology do you use to make Vesna appear natural and intelligent?
Where do you see other potential use cases for holographic?
Will we be able to use holograms at home soon - just like video calls today?
What are your growth plans?
