A translation can be word-for-word accurate and still be completely wrong. In this episode, Bobby Brill sits down with Sam Smyth, Product Manager on the globalization side at ServiceNow, to get into what happens after you decide to go multilingual — the tools, the governance, and the quiet work nobody sees until it breaks.
Host Bobby Brill pulls together conversations with the ServiceNow linguists, research engineers, and AI governance leads working on voice, language, and chat, including a real recording of a voice agent failing in real time. Same words. Different meaning. And a machine in the middle trying to work out which one you intended.

Voice AI sounds simple until you try to deploy it at scale — across airports, accents, languages, and thousands of employees at once. In this episode of ServiceNow Insights, host Bobby Brill sits down with Midam Kim, an ML engineer and linguist at ServiceNow, to unpack what it actually takes to build voice AI as an enterprise product. From the out-of-vocabulary problem (why AI still struggles with names) to why turn-taking in conversation is a linguistic skill most people never think about, Midam breaks down the human science behind the technology. In this episode: - Why voice AI is replacing typing as the default way to interact with enterprise systems - The difference between building for employees (B2B) vs. building for their customers (B2B2C) - Why an airport is one of the hardest possible environments for voice AI — and what ServiceNow does about it - The "out-of-vocabulary" problem: why AI still struggles with names, accents, and rare expressions - Why ServiceNow's secret sauce is hiring linguists, not just engineers - The linguistic framework behind every voice interaction: sounds, words, and turn-taking - Why voice AI is like teaching a kid to speak for the first time Chapters 00:00 — Welcome to ServiceNow Insights 00:22 — Meet Midam Kim, ML Engineer & Linguist 00:35 — Why voice is replacing typing 01:48 — What voice AI actually does for employees 03:40 — B2B vs. B2B2C: who's really using this? 05:11 — Desk employee vs. airport traveler: two different problems 06:42 — Building for an ever-changing environment 08:53 — Why airports are the hardest use case 09:54 — Accents, fluency, and the diversity problem 11:20 — "My Name Is.

Most organizations deploying AI agents can’t answer a basic question: is it actually working? Not whether the agent runs — whether the process actually got better. In Episode 3 of our process mining and process intelligence series, Damian Pascale and Roz Parpia join host Bobby Brill to go deep on what it actually looks like to run process intelligence with AI in the mix — from the AI Visibility Gap, to a four-step framework for finding the right AI use cases, to what “closed loop intelligence” really means once agents are governing agents. This episode’s answer to the recurring question: don’t automate the chaos. Find it, understand it, improve it — then, and only then, streamline it.
