Did you know...?

70% of meetings are a waste of time (and money)

Surely you've attended one of those meetings where you felt time was standing still and your attention ended up on your phone. Don't worry, you're not the only one.

Numerous studies show that a large part of meetings are inefficient and not very profitable for companies. Excessive time spent on these directly affects worker productivity, preventing them from completing pending tasks. 

At Nömad, we realized this some time ago. That's why we researched until we found the best practices and tools that have helped us better invest our time in meetings. And we want to share them with you.

➤Here we share our keys to making your meetings profitable.

Voicebox, Meta's new AI that transforms text into speech

Meta launches Voicebox, the new generative voice AI system

Meta has launched Voicebox, a revolutionary AI project capable of generating speech from text without the need for specific training. This new feature will be available in multiple languages and will allow for:

  • Giving voice to virtual assistants and Metaverse characters.
  • Producing clips from a 2-second sample.
  • Removing background noise from audio.
  • Assisting people with hearing impairments.

For now, Meta has announced that Voicebox will not be open-source, due to the potential misuse of this technology. However, they have made the study public to show how this new AI model would work.

➤You can take a look at it on this page.

If you're in the social media world, we're sure you've heard about the recent boom of the streaming platform Kick.

Signings like xQC, Amouranth, or Hikaru Nakamura, among others, are helping the Australian platform gain ground on the streaming king, which is now also threatened by the flight of streamers.
