Only a few weeks back, I wrote a note welcoming all 1,140 subscribers to Conversational AI News on LinkedIn.

We'll, we've almost doubled.

Almost!

We're at 2,039 subscribers as of this morning on the LinkedIn Newsletter.

Woah! You are all very, very welcome.

Come on in. Pull up a chair.

Looking through those who have subscribed, I'm surprised to see how many senior level executives have a keen interest in Conversational AI, not just from the Financial Services sector.

I have about 14,000 followers on LinkedIn so it would be natural for many of the followers to have come from this - but I'd estimate about 70-80% are new to me. That is, they're 2nd or 3rd level connections.

So I say welcome.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for subscribing for updates.

If you've got any questions, please send me a note.

And if you'd like to know more about what I'm doing with Conversational AI from an advisory standpoint, please send me a note. I'd love to help with your projects. Contact me directly on LinkedIn or find my contact details here.

Are you a subscriber?

If you're not a subscriber to the weekly newsletter on LinkedIn, you can find it right here. So many really enjoy following the output there.

We're also on Twitter too. But... yeah. We have 6 followers there. Shhh. Let's pretend it's 600.

And if you're a (free!) subscriber here on Conversational AI News, you'll already get an update every time I post. Just hit the subscribe button above if you'd like to sign-up for those updates.
