action.ai Leadership Team & Executives

John Taylor

CEO

CEO at Action.ai. John’s passion is to change the way humans interact with computers, reducing the friction in current interfaces by supplementing them with intuitive and intelligent Conversational Interfaces, not chatbots. John combines his experience as a CEO with a background in strategy consulting and as a Think Tank Director. He also brings academic experience via his doctorate at Oxford University and as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in the UK. Providing truly Conversational Interfaces unlocks a hugely compelling opportunity for consumers to engage with services on the go, 24/7. Consumers can express themselves naturally, just as they would to a human, and receive instant and meaningful responses. Experiences can be delivered via a smart speaker, like Alexa, via the web, or via a mobile device. The consumer now has access to services 24/7 via an intuitive interface that responds and engages with human-like intelligence. The business John leads, action.ai, has developed industry-leading technology to empower companies to build both voice and text-based interfaces that are truly conversational. Central to this has been building a world-class engineering team with business partner Dr Richard Tolcher, a leader in the field of computational linguistics.
