Conversation Design Institute was founded in 2018 by Hans van Dam and Olaf Igesz. They believed that recognizing, developing, and promoting the role of the conversation designer was crucial to advancing trust and communication between humans and AI Assistants.
The CDI Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to developing and promoting design standards for conversational AI Assistants. We do this through research, education and industry development.
