Google travaille en coulisses sur une révolution pour nos messageries. Selon une analyse de la dernière version bêta de Google Messages par Android Authority, l'entreprise continue de développer le protocole Messaging Layer Security (MLS). Ce standard pourrait rendre les messageries universelles et le chiffrement de bout en bout véritablement interopérable. Dans le code de l'application, les experts ont découvert une fonctionnalité cachée, nommée "Zinnia", permettant d'activer MLS pour les conversations individuelles. Si les échanges de groupe ne sont pas encore concernés, cette avancée prouve que Google n'a pas abandonné son ambition de rendre Google Messages plus universel.Mais pourquoi MLS est-il si attendu ? Aujourd'hui, le successeur du SMS, le protocole RCS, apporte déjà des fonctionnalités modernes comme le chiffrement de bout en bout. Cependant, ce dernier reste limité : chaque application de messagerie – Google Messages, WhatsApp ou Signal – utilise son propre protocole, rendant impossible une communication sécurisée entre plateformes. MLS vise à combler ce fossé en standardisant le chiffrement et en rendant les messageries interopérables.Si Google Messages intègre pleinement MLS, envoyer des messages chiffrés à des utilisateurs d'autres plateformes comme Signal ou WhatsApp deviendrait possible, à condition que ces dernières adoptent aussi le protocole. MLS résout également des défis techniques complexes, comme la gestion dynamique des clés dans les discussions de groupe ou le transfert des messages après un changement d'appareil. Pour Google, cette initiative n'est pas seulement technique : elle pourrait renforcer l'attractivité de son application face à des poids lourds comme WhatsApp. Mais attention, MLS en est encore à un stade expérimental. Si Google réussit et si d'autres suivent, MLS pourrait bien redéfinir la manière dont nous communiquons en ligne, en plaçant la sécurité et l'interopérabilité au cœur des échanges. Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode, host Paul Tyler broadcasts from Noida, India, where he visits Zinnia's offices and speaks with their leadership team including Josh Everett (CEO of Zinnia India), Kapil Bhardwaj (Head of Global Processing), Pawan Choudhary (CTO), Rajan Agarwal (Head of Exchange Solutions), and Eti Gupta (Head of Marketing). Key highlights: Zinnia's India operations manage an impressive 1.4 million calls annually and handle over 55% of North America's variable annuity business, reflecting their critical role in the company's global strategy. Once viewed as a back-office function, India's operations have transformed into a Global Innovation Center (GIC), driving innovation and strategic growth. This shift leverages India's diverse talent pool across key cities: Bangalore stands out as a hub for AI and tech innovation, Chennai excels in engineering and operational capabilities, and Delhi/NCR is renowned for its deep insurance expertise and skilled knowledge workers. The conversation focuses on how insurance companies need to evolve, with key recommendations to: Embrace transparency in operations Simplify complex processes Be bold in adopting new technologies Stay adaptable to changing trends Focus on building partnerships rather than vendor relationships The episode provides insights into how insurance companies can leverage India's talent and technology capabilities to transform their operations and improve customer experience.

In the latest episode of the Remotely One podcast, co-hosts Rick Haney and Kaleem Clarkson welcome the incredible Lauren Goodell, founder and CEO of Zinnia, an AI-powered sales preparation tool. Lauren's journey is fascinating, from her Nebraska roots, with a marketing degree from the University of Nebraska, to her current residence in Charlotte, and all the achievements in between.Lauren has had an ever-changing professional journey with significant roles in major tech companies: After over five years as a Strategic Engagement Manager at Microsoft, she transitioned to Salesforce, where she developed a deep understanding of remote work and sales, recognizing the importance of human connections in sales processes. While Microsoft is a stable environment where employees often stay for many years, focusing on long-term growth, Salesforce, in contrast, has a younger, more dynamic culture where innovation and rapid changes are the norm.Since her early days at both Microsoft and Salesforce, she has appreciated the flexibility and the opportunity to work with talented people from across the country. This prepared her well for the shift to remote work during the pandemic! Now, her new venture, Zinnia, leverages AI to synthesize vast amounts of personal and professional data, creating holistic profiles to help salespeople connect with clients on a personal level.So, how does Zinnia work? The tool gathers and summarizes information from various online sources, such as LinkedIn, company websites, and social media. This provides sales professionals with conversation starters and relevant insights, facilitating quick rapport building, which is crucial in sales where personal connections can significantly influence buying decisions. Zinnia aims to make these connections more seamless and efficient, saving time for salespeople by automating the information-gathering process.Yet, the elephant in the room is still there: the common fears surrounding AI, particularly the concern that it might replace human jobs, remain strong! The role of education in alleviating these fears cannot be underestimated. Drawing a parallel to the early skepticism her parents had about online shopping, Lauren argues that AI, when used correctly, can enhance human capabilities rather than replace them. Diving into our classic question: Where is remote work going? It's clear that Lauren's experience at Microsoft, where impromptu social gatherings were the norm, reinforced her belief in the importance of human connection for workplace satisfaction. Many companies now invest in in-person gatherings instead of corporate real estate, providing training and strengthening team bonds. This shift supports Lauren's view that remote and hybrid work is here to stay, but maintaining connections in a remote environment is essential!You can find Lauren and her amazing Zinnia online; connect through the links below! Treat yourself to a wonderful episode and gain her valuable perspectives on the evolution of remote work, the importance of social connections in the workplace, and the role of co-working spaces in urban revitalization.

In her article titled "A Partial Explanation of Zoomer Girl Derangement,” writer Zinnia, talks about the changes girls go through as they become women, focusing on how society views them. She explains the mixed feelings girls have about getting attention from men, feeling both powerful and vulnerable. Zinnia also criticizes how social media and modern culture affect young women, making it hard for them to understand their worth. She suggests that girls need honest advice to balance their desires and the pressures they face as they grow up. In today's episode, I'll be reading the article to you and leaving you with something to think about.For access to transcripts, PDF study guides, and bonus podcast episodes, subscribe on Patreon!
