New episode is out!
This one with Shaun Meredith, CTO & Co-Founder at Omnic.AI.
Omnic AI specializes in eSports player performance, leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning through their platform, Omnic Forge.
We discuss the inception of Omnic AI, the technology and tools they employ, and how their approach has evolved over time. Additionally, we touch on the different types of gamers Omnic serves, their business model, market traction, challenges in scaling, and the future of AI in gaming. And of course, I get some free consulting about my idea for applying AI/computer vision to youth sports skills training.
Some interesting parallels between helping gamers get better and helping athletes get better, so I am grateful to Shaun for making the time!
