Lily AI Returns to SXSW 2025, Speaking about the AI Revolution at Inc. Founders House

Lily AI Returns to SXSW

Returning to this year’s SXSW feels like a homecoming for Lily! In 2017, Lily AI won the SXSW Accelerator Pitch Event, wowing the judges with an AI-powered solution that understood subjective and more complex consumer perceptions and preferences that today we often refer to as “customer speak.”

This year, our Co-Founder and CTO Sowmiya Chocka Narayanan will be taking the Inc. Founders House stage on Monday at 1pm to join a panel on Future-Proofing Businesses for the AI Revolution. Learn more about our session below!

SXSW Speaker Panel:

• Sowmiya Chocka Narayanan, co-founder and CTO, Lily AI;
• Richard Socher, founder and CEO, you.com
• Naeem Talukdar, co-founder and CEO, Moonvalley
• Moderated by Diana Ransom, executive editor, Inc.

SXSW Session Overview:

Recent advances in artificial intelligence hold immense disruptive potential for businesses big and small. The exponential costs of computing to train large language models are driving the formation of small language models that use less, but more focused, data. The need for entrepreneurs to stay abreast of AI advancements and how the coming wave of innovation could intersect with their businesses has never been greater. Join us for a conversation on how AI is driving a super-cycle of exponential growth across multiple industries, and how companies can plan for the future by mapping out where they’d like to be and reverse-engineering a strategy to get there.
