Conversation Design Institute is the world's leading training, certification, and advisory institute for conversational AI professionals. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Amsterdam and Austin, CDI works with enterprises globally across two practices: an Academy that has certified thousands of conversation designers and AI trainers, and a consulting arm that helps organizations design, build, and scale high-performing AI assistants.
Articles published under the CDI name are written by our in-house team of conversation designers, AI consultants, and industry experts. Together, they bring hands-on experience from hundreds of enterprise deployments across industries including finance, telecom, healthcare, and government.
Their writing covers conversation design best practices, conversational AI strategy, generative AI, agentic AI, and the skills and standards shaping the future of human-AI interaction.
