Papancea is currently the CEO of NLX, a company that has raised more than $25 million in funding to fuel its mission of providing automated customer service experiences to companies ranging from United Airlines to Red Bull. Its efforts are built on Papancea’s prior experiences building American Express’s Conversational AI platform, which has become a primary point of contact for customer experiences with the company.

Papancea and Toyota join the main stage

For his session, Papancea will dive into NLX’s partnership with Toyota, which centers on AI-powered conversational experiences tailored specifically for car repair. The initiative gives technicians instant access to a vast knowledge base — drawn from millions of pages of repair guides, manuals, diagrams, and other highly specific resources — to help them diagnose and complete repairs more efficiently.

In doing so, Toyota has already been able to improve a core KPI: the productivity of its technicians. And that’s exactly the kind of topic we’re looking to dive into at TC Sessions: AI, one that demonstrates the real-world impact of AI implementation and partnerships.

Join our full lineup of insightful AI sessions featuring leaders from Google Cloud, Amazon, TwelveLabs, OpenAI, Anthropic, and many more. Check out the full speaker list and agenda.
