From Demo to Deployment: Multimodal Conversational Agents
summary
Claims a field study of 250 households showing a 30% improvement in task completion and natural multimodal adoption within three weeks, plus a tested production four-stage pipeline (injection, fusion, reasoning, action). Compares early/late/hybrid fusion trade-offs, gives concrete operational controls (latency budgets, compute attribution, drift detection), lists evaluation metrics beyond text (task success, grounding, modality agreement, temporal alignment), and describes live deployments like smart‑home interactions with sub‑second responses and graceful degradation paths.
