Hi, my name is Musli Mustafa. I’m from Cement Industries of Malaysia Berhad, working in a learning and development unit. So based on the last presentation, so basically we want to simplify the employee handbook and we want to create an AI tool using the ElevenLabs so that we can engage more to the staff and I hope that the staff will have easy access to read the employee handbook rather than we use the human energy.

“I would like to create similar like a chatbot so that I can quickly understand very well … their problems.”

I can give a short term, mid or long term solutions to help them with their problems.
