Experimentation is part of Rasa’s DNA as a company. We have always led with innovation, and today we continue to remain on the forefront of discovery by exploring new and cutting edge ways to help our customers achieve next-level conversational AI.

To continue our legacy of innovation, we are proud to announce the introduction of the Rasa Labs Program. Today, we invite our customers to join us, and help build the future of conversational AI together.

Goals of the Rasa Labs Program

With the inception of Rasa Labs, we have not one, but two ambitious goals in mind:

• Customer-Centric Innovation: We firmly believe that the best innovations are born from collaboration, not isolation. With Rasa Labs, we're giving our customers the opportunity to be more than just spectators; we want them to be active contributors in shaping the direction of our products.

• Rapid Validation: By engaging our customers early in the process, we aim to validate our hypotheses faster in an enterprise setting, minimizing risk and ensuring that the features we release are aligned with real-world needs.

Available Labs

Here at Rasa, we have been incorporating language models into our stack for several years prior to the introduction of ChatGPT. This enabled us with the perfect springboard to rapidly and effectively introduce some of the latest technological advancements into our platform. By leveraging large language models, we already see the potential for Rasa Assistants to elevate customer experiences with natural language interactions that are more fluid, resilient, and helpful than ever before.

Below are some the first public experiments customers can access via our Labs Program:

• LLM Intent Classification: See few-shot learning in action. Leverage retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to ground a large language model in an intent schema to improve natural language understanding with far less data

• Natural Language Generation: Dynamically paraphrase templated responses by leveraging the generative power of Large Language Models.

• Intentless Policy: Handle all the twists and turns of natural language interactions in context without intents.
