In this episode of A Beginner’s Guide to AI, Dietmar Fischer talks with Alex Levin, the Co-Founder and CEO of Regal.io, about how Voice AI is bringing real human conversation back to customer service.
For years, businesses have been hiding behind IVRs and chatbots - cutting off the personal touch that customers crave. Alex explains how AI voice agents are transforming the experience, allowing brands to actually talk to their customers again, at scale, with empathy, emotion, and precision.
We dive into what’s behind this transformation - from the technology (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, ElevenLabs, Deepgram) to the psychology of trust and emotion in customer communication. Alex shares how Regal.io helps enterprises in healthcare, insurance, and finance use AI-powered voice agents that can outperform human representatives while lowering costs and improving satisfaction.
From replacing call center frustration with warm, natural conversations to the rise of empathetic AI agents, this episode explores what happens when voice meets intelligence.

Engineering the Future of AI with Chirag Agrawal: Context, Memory and Coordination
Artificial Intelligence isn’t just getting smarter—it’s learning to coordinate. In this episode, Chirag Agrawal joins Dietmar Fischer to unpack how modern AI agents handle context, memory, and decision-making inside complex multi-agent systems. Together they explore how engineering, orchestration, and memory-sharing shape the next generation of AI architecture.
📧💌📧Tune in to get my thoughts and all episodes—don’t forget to subscribe to our Newsletter: beginnersguide.nl📧💌📧
You’ll hear how Chirag’s fascination with search led him to build early prototypes of intelligent assistants, and how today’s LLM agents extend that idea far beyond simple queries. He explains why AI isn’t one giant super-brain but a constellation of specialized agents—each performing specific tasks with shared or isolated memory—and how this design mirrors human collaboration.
🔑 Key Takeaways
Why AI orchestration and context management are crucial for scalable systems
The trade-offs between shared memory and independent agents
What engineers mean by the ReAct Loop—reasoning and acting in tandem
How multi-agent coordination is reshaping industries from healthcare to compliance
Why the “AI supercomputer” myth ignores practical limits of context windows
💬 Quotes from the Episode
“AI is just a higher form of search—it’s about finding the right action, not just information.”
“Agents behave inhuman until you engineer context for them.”
“Specialization in AI works the same way it does for people—each agent should do one thing really well.”
“Coordination isn’t magic; it’s careful engineering.”
“Context makes intelligence usable.”
“A well-defined agent doesn’t need to do everything—it needs to do its one job perfectly.”

In this deeply human episode of A Beginner’s Guide to AI, Professor Gephardt explores how machines are being designed to fill emotional voids, comfort the isolated, and even simulate empathy.

From the soft-spoken ElliQ robot keeping seniors company in empty kitchens, to chatbots like Replika creating digital friendships for millions, this episode unpacks how AI companions, emotional AI, and artificial empathy are reshaping what connection means in the 21st century. Listeners will hear real-world examples, ethical debates, and psychological insights that blur the line between comfort and code.
Professor Gephardt breaks down the mechanics of AI companions—how they listen, learn, and adapt to our moods. He discusses how chatbots and mental health tools offer temporary relief while posing long-term risks of dependence. The discussion also takes a hard look at AI in wellbeing, asking whether companionship should ever be designed as a product.
If you’ve ever found yourself talking to a voice assistant a little too often—or wondered if technology can make us feel less alone—this episode is for you. Engaging, funny, and grounded in real science, it’s a reminder that while AI can imitate empathy, it can’t replace the messy, irreplaceable warmth of human connection.
✨ Key Highlights
How AI companions simulate emotional understanding through language models and sentiment detection
The rise of social robots like ElliQ and their measurable impact on elderly wellbeing
Why emotional AI can comfort but not care — and the ethical red lines designers face
