We recently hosted our very first Innovation Week! This was an opportunity to bring the whole Product and Technology department together and spend five days innovating, experimenting and building. We established a guiding theme: "Exploring opportunities around new AI technology”. This was a self-driven and self-organized event, where all members had the chance to pitch their ideas and try to convince others to join their projects. In this case, we ended up having eleven projects running in parallel. These projects delved into alternative solutions for our existing systems, reevaluated the volume of articles our customers need, developed tools that comprehend natural language for searches, strategized PR initiatives, and much more. The week was marked by an exceptional level of engagement and outstanding creativity, making it a resounding success. In fact, the innovative ideas presented have already influenced our delivery roadmap. We're eager to bring these results to our customers soon!
