    Virtual assistants at work are still new features and have a lot to improve. 
    The more features we have, the more we want new features.
    In small environments we have "noise" between virtual assistants, making use inappropriate.
    But in more distributed environments it is very good.
    We still have a lot to learn (both, us and our Alexas).

    In our line of work, we need access to specific answers to specific questions daily in an ever-changing environment. We have all the data at our fingertips but it is difficult in a very short amount of preparation time to find the right data points. Joule will change the game for us in terms of match preparation, analysis of communication, detection of patterns and more. Joule is not (yet) suited for strategic decision making but can give elements that we can use to do that

    We looked at two other alternatives: Google Nest and Apple. But Alexa already has popular devices that many people on the team already had in their homes. And it would be easier to integrate into the professional environment. The cost of Amazon products is also much lower, which makes the product more competitive.

    Agent force is tied into Salesforce dot com directly. Since we are using SAP, it was a no brainer to use Joule rather than something like Agent force or Einstein. On top of that, Joule just seemed like a better product overall with better functionality. This is why we chose to use Joule over the competition.
