Voicea
Voicea is an AI-powered voice collaboration platform designed to make meetings more productive. The product helps users track important insights, understand the intent of business discussions, and follow up on key takeaways.
Vilmate provided expertise across mobile development, frontend and backend engineering, data analysis, and UI/UX design.
The challenge
When Vilmate joined the project, Wrappup already had a clear vision of how the product should look and work.
The company needed technology professionals with the right qualifications to extend its existing development team and help implement that vision.
Our approach
The work followed the client’s core product idea: help users focus on the most valuable parts of a business conversation and make follow-up easier.
Focus on the key takeaways
Voicea aimed to help users understand the intent of a discussion, track important insights, and eliminate deadweight in the conversation. These priorities guided the Vilmate specialists working as part of the client’s development team.
Expand the team as needed
The collaboration started with one front-end developer and gradually expanded to include mobile developers, frontend and backend engineers, data analysts, and a UI/UX designer.
All specialists supplemented Voicea’s existing in-house team and worked under the client’s direct management.
The solution
The collaboration began under a firm-fixed-price contract and later expanded beyond the initial scope.
Mobile app development
One of the main areas of work covered Voicea’s native iOS and Android applications, where Vilmate specialists contributed their mobile development expertise.
Machine learning software engineering
The Vilmate team also supported software engineering for machine learning, working on the technical capabilities behind the Voicea product.
Ongoing technical services
Additional expertise covered architecture design, quality control, maintenance, and technical support throughout the product’s development.
Continued work after the acquisition
In 2019, Voicea became part of Cisco. All 12 Vilmate specialists passed the required interview rounds and became Cisco employees, continuing to work on the Voicea AI product within the Webex portfolio. At the time, such a transition had no precedent in Ukraine.
“Internal stakeholders are pleased with Vilmate’s technical abilities, work ethic, and professional attitude. They’ve had the necessary expertise to successfully implement our vision in terms of time, budget, and risk management.
They were able to stay in sync with all the changes, could effectively integrate with our team, and were dedicated to carrying out their duties to the best of their ability.”
