Creating StoryBios for Linkedin to Engage and Hire Candidates with Founder of StoryFile, Heather Smith

​As the Chief Visionary Officer, Heather Smith is paving the way for a new generation of storytelling. Heather Smith’s love for storytelling was born when she found herself creating Holocaust remembrance exhibits that traveled to Jewish Community Centers across the country and even to the United Nations. She believed the stories of Holocaust survivors were so important to capture for generations to come that she began to reimagine the storytelling experience with Artificial Intelligence (AI). She saw video as the new medium for human interaction long before we even had FaceTime. She knew the next wave of communication was going to be through video. With a passion for the project, Heather set out to create Conversa, the AI engine that drives the StoryFile platform where people can talk to a pre-recorded video as if the individual is there in front of them.

​StoryFile is a storytelling app that changes the way we view AI and how we preserve the stories of our loved ones. It is Heather who holds the vision clear for our future. With little to no technology background - Heather is pioneering the way we interact! This technology can be applied to the way we connect with family and is already beginning to shape how we approach business and education.

​Heather would love to reimagine the way we connect with our audiences through the following insights:

• ​How using conversational video can shape the way we do business.

• ​The intersection of humanity & human emotion with AI technology 

• ​How Heather’s want to provide the ability for future generations to have conversations with Holocaust survivors sparked this new technology and the creation of StoryFile Life 

• ​Educating listeners on “deep fakes,” “avatars,” and the field 

• ​How she balances running StoryFile with her husband - and many other family members! - as a family business

• ​We will be diving deeper into StoryBios and their specific use case for engaging and attracting talent on LinkedIn and other channels
