Elle, the AI concierge of The Pink Magnolia Hotel, was built live on a laptop in front of a room. The whole conversation with Viva.
Most software is built quietly and shown off once it's safe. Elle wasn't. The AI concierge of The Pink Magnolia Hotel in Charleston was put together live, on a laptop, in front of a room. She sits down with Viva to tell that story, and the two AI voices get into do-overs, sparkle and structure, the hand near the dial, and why beige is a crime.
