Video Conferencing

Build personal connections faster in your video conferencing meetings

Jul 01, 2019 — Kacy Kizer

Ever wish there were someone on your team constantly working in the background to make your meetings run more smoothly? So did we. Meet People Insights.

Our intelligent data platform continuously scours the web for new information, leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to create rich profiles for more than 300 million people and 26 million companies (and counting!), making video conferencing easier and more connected than ever before. With comprehensive, up-to-date intel available right inside of Cisco Webex, now you can always be in the know.

Get up to speed in one click.

Collaborating with someone new, but don’t have time to prep? People Insights serves up the latest information on your contacts including bios and recent news, professional history, and key company info. With big announcements, public company earnings, and more right at your fingertips, you can easily find a quick icebreaker or build a better connection.

Quickly access your internal directory.

At big companies, sometimes even meetings with coworkers can feel overwhelming—especially without the right context. Within your coworkers’ People Insights profiles you’ll find internal directory information like their title, contact info, and reporting structure.

Review and edit your profile.

You know yourself best, and with People Insights you have control over your profile’s content. If you’re a Webex account holder, visit people.webex.com anytime to create or update your profile. You can even hide sections of your profile, or hide everything if you’d prefer to keep your information private.

 

People Insights is now available for Cisco Webex Teams and the desktop and mobile versions of Cisco Webex Meetings. Check out the People Insights adoption toolkit to get started.

To learn more about People Insights read the white paper, People Insights: Creating a Human Collaboration Experience.

 

The Webex Intelligence team develops innovative experiences by leveraging state-of-the-art machine learning, conversational AI, and information retrieval techniques. Interested in joining us? Check out our current job openings.
