Olga serves as a Product Manager for NIO's in-vehicle AI system - the voice assistant NOMI. Relying upon her background in research, product localization, as well as speech dialog development, she enjoys creating advanced voice user experiences. For her, crafting a good technology is about understanding people who use it, and building blocks of a voice assistant (automatic speech recognition, natural language understanding, speech dialog development, text generation, speech synthesis and much more) are bricks needed to create a truly safe, meaningful and joyful car environment. Collaborating with UX researchers, UXUI designers, development teams and other stakeholders, she helps NIO find out which features are needed and how to best deliver them, leveraging different interfaces (VUI, GUI, emotional interface).
