Q: What is the role of Meta in this effort?
Meta contributes by sharing device-level strategies and signatures to classify apps (e.g., WhatsApp, Messenger) to tailor end-to-end telemetry and optimize performance across large-scale usage.
353: Why Your Zoom Calls Freeze Despite Good Wi-Fi (With Shafi Khan of Cable Labs)
Q: How does the Kamara framework help developers and operators work together to improve user experience?
Kamara provides intent-based APIs and the Session Insights framework to give end-to-end visibility, so developers can monitor and respond to degradations, while operators can optimize routing and prioritization.
353: Why Your Zoom Calls Freeze Despite Good Wi-Fi (With Shafi Khan of Cable Labs)
Q: Tell me about the pilot with Zoom and how real-time telemetry is used to improve Zoom calls.
The pilot collects session-based telemetry from Zoom, correlates it with network KPIs, and looks to trigger events and apply resolutions in real time to prevent freezes, aiming to keep calls seamless even when issues arise.
350: Multi-model AI Orchestration (with Mike Sirchuk)
Q: What drove the creation of Swa originally and how did it start financially?
The founders, including the speaker, had experience with Nike and saw how multiple models were costly; Swa was created to talk to all models at a lower cost, reducing monthly expenses dramatically for a small team.

Q: Can you give an example of a practical workflow using Swa across tools like Slack and Outlook?
A company can have agents in Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, and Outlook that share a single set of capabilities; they can draft and publish articles, schedule social media posts, and even process receipts or PTO policies, all through one connected system with consistent prompts and governance.
