I started out in a small team working on Albert Heijn for the Google Assistant which allowed customers to use their voice to, for example, search for recipes or add products to their shopping list.

Eventually that team grew and became responsible for setting up a digital AI assistant to automatically handle customer support queries or, in case it couldn’t figure out the customer’s intent, hand over the conversation to a human agent.
