The origin of Sarah AI
Sarah AI emerged from Eric Santos's fascination with developing an artificial intelligence that functioned as a "dynamic software", evolving in a manner similar to a biological organism. This concept, which he calls 'plasma software', faced the limits of current AI technology. Nevertheless, Eric saw an excellent opportunity to apply existing AI capabilities to solve a wide range of everyday problems.
"I realized that current AI technology was not yet capable of fully supporting this vision of highly dynamic software," Eric explains. "That's how Sarah AI came about, designed to be an effective virtual assistant that is adaptable to different contexts and needs."
Differentiators of Sarah AI
One of the main differentiators of Sarah AI, according to Eric, is AI Connect's continuous effort to humanize it. "She is not just an assistant; she is attentive, efficient, always learning, and extremely friendly," he states. The primary goal of Sarah AI is to integrate with the team, actively collaborating for the growth and evolution of the organization.
The versatility of Sarah AI is another strong point. Compatible with multiple platforms, she has a wide range of skills and easily connects to companies' internal systems and the most popular tools in the market. Eric emphasizes that user privacy and security are priorities, making Sarah AI one of the most advanced virtual assistants for the corporate environment.
"Sarah AI was born from my fascination with developing an artificial intelligence that would function as dynamic software, evolving in a manner similar to a biological organism."
Customer adoption
Customers have responded positively to Sarah AI. Many report that, when integrating her into their workflows, she quickly becomes an essential part of the team. "She not only increases productivity but also facilitates collaboration among team members," Eric comments. The assistant starts by taking on specific functions within crucial processes and gradually expands her responsibilities in a natural and effective way.
The future of AI in customer service
Eric sees artificial intelligence as a transformative force in all areas of organizations, especially in customer service. "At AI Connect, we propose a simple, but extremely effective, approach for companies to grow with the use of AI," he says. The introduction of AI into processes where human capital is limited or too expensive to scale is the first step. Over time, the technology expands its reach to other areas.

Eric uses the analogy that the AI assistant starts as an intern. "Far from being just a conventional chatbot, this 'intern' evolves along with the organization, taking on more and more challenges and responsibilities," he explains. He believes that, five years from now, interaction with AI will be so integrated into our daily lives that it will become almost indistinguishable from human interactions, elevating the operational efficiency of companies and enriching the personal experiences of each individual.
Privacy and security
User data privacy and security are taken very seriously at AI Connect. Eric details several robust measures implemented to ensure the security of interactions with Sarah AI, including end-to-end encryption and secure storage with restricted access. The company strictly follows its Code of Conduct for Artificial Intelligence Assistants, aligning with ethical values and social expectations, and is in compliance with global regulations such as the GDPR.
"We conduct regular audits to keep our standards always up-to-date," Eric states, emphasizing the importance of protecting users' trust in Sarah AI's technology.
Technologies behind Sarah AI
Sarah AI is powered by a variety of advanced technologies in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning. "We use vector databases to integrate manuals, databases, and other relevant artifacts," Eric explains. This allows for continuous personalization and adaptation to the corporate environment.
Furthermore, Sarah AI benefits from the combined use of several LLM (Language Learning Models) models, ranging from open-source solutions to closed-code models. "This plurality of models allows us to choose the best tool available in the market for each specific situation, significantly increasing the precision and efficiency of the responses provided by the virtual assistant," says Eric.
"Looking to the future, five years from now, we expect interaction with AI to be so integrated into our daily lives that it becomes almost indistinguishable from human interactions."
Future functionalities
AI Connect has several new functionalities planned for Sarah AI. Among the innovations, the introduction of a specialized voice sound (Custom TTS) stands out, which will allow the customization of Sarah's voice according to the specific needs of each client. This functionality promises to revolutionize user-assistant interaction.
"We are developing Sarah's ability to present herself as an avatar in video calls, simulating a face-to-face conversation," Eric reveals. This is one of the most ambitious additions to the project and reflects AI Connect's commitment to continuous innovation.
The company also plans to expand Sarah AI's presence on more platforms, including Instagram and Facebook, and enable the assistant to access and interact with videos, further enriching the possibilities of use.
Advice for entrepreneurs
For other entrepreneurs who wish to develop innovative technological solutions, Eric offers valuable advice. "We are living in an era of intense technological renewal," he states. He sees the next 10 years as crucial and transformative, profoundly altering the way we interact with systems and artificial intelligences.
"This is the ideal moment to write our story on a blank page," says Eric. He advises focusing on the significant impact that innovative solutions can bring to people and organizations. The journey requires hard work, resilience, teamwork skills, and maximum use of emerging technologies. "There is no simple formula," Eric concludes, "but this trajectory offers a rich experience in learning and great personal satisfaction."
