        This course was incredibly impactful. Rupa and Polly packed decades of expertise into a highly engaging course. They did a fantastic job of demystifying the world of Conversational AI and making the "complex simple" for those of us who are newer to the space. I am eager to participate in additional courses offered by Polly and Rupa.

        I loved this course. Lots n lots of key concepts explained with very practical examples that I could relate too. I currently support 16 Alexa experiences as a Program Manager and work very closely with Product Managers - an insight into a Product Mgmt roadmap and environment, walking backwards was very well tied into this course.
