Hello to the 1,140 subscribers on our LinkedIn Newsletter

Yesterday, I got a phone call from a colleague who was asking why we didn't have a LinkedIn Newsletter for Conversational AI News.

I said I was thinking about it.

I explained that I felt it was a little excessive given we already have newsletter capability built straight into this system. Many of you are already members here – and you automatically get a notification for every article published.

My colleague berated me.

"Yes, but some will just want to consume on LinkedIn, remember there are a BILLION users," came the reply.

Fair point.

I already send a regular newsletter on LinkedIn for FinTech Profile (my other passion project!) so I am familiar with the process.

I set it up and wrote the first "Week 29" newsletter – then I pressed publish.

It was sent to 1 subscriber – me. Whoop!

Fast forward to this morning and we now have a whopping 1,140 subscribers.

Wow.

Double wow.

There is a lot of interest in Conversational AI!

I had a hunch – that's why I started the site in the first place.

I've had a look through a lot of those who have subscribed and I'm surprised by the depth of interest from across the financial services ecosystem. There are a lot of very senior executives who already follow me on LinkedIn on the list too!

My colleague, it seems, had a point.

I'd love it if you followed Conversational AI News directly - here - on the website. I'm writing this on the website. But it's ok if you're following via LinkedIn too! In fact, it's wonderful. You are a ready I would otherwise not be reaching, so thank you.

Thank you to everyone who has taken a chance and pressed 'subscribe' on LinkedIn.
