faidr Mobile App Officially Selected as an Honoree Within the “Best Use of AI & Machine Learning” Category
BOULDER, CO, April 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire – Auddia Inc. (NASDAQ:AUUD) (NASDAQ:AUUDW) ("Auddia" or the "Company"), developer of a proprietary AI platform for audio and innovative technologies for podcasts that is reinventing how consumers engage with audio, announced that the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences has officially recognized faidr, Auddia’s flagship mobile superapp, as a 2023 Webby Honoree within the “Best Use of AI & Machine Learning” category.
“We are excited and humbled to be recognized this year by the Webby Awards,” said Michael Lawless, Auddia’s CEO. “The significance of being honored for AI and machine learning at this stage validates our pride in the accomplishments we’ve been able to achieve with the faidr product and reinforces our continued dedication to grow the platform.”
The Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet and has been active since 1996. Auddia’s recognition this year means it is, according to Webby Awards’ 2,000+ member judging body, among the top 20% of the more than 14,000 applicants in 2023. Auddia is one of only two honorees for the “Best Use of AI & Machine Learning” category this year.
“This is an important award for the company as it represents a highly reputable outside organization recognizing the importance of the groundbreaking AI work we have been doing for years,” said Jeff Thramann, Auddia’s Executive Chairman. “With many companies claiming to utilize AI, it can be frustrating to advance technology with real machine learning, yet not be recognized as being different from the ubiquitous AI hype. This award deservingly and appropriately separates us from the hype.”
The Company previously shared its better-than-expected subscription conversion on its iOS product and is currently working toward a series of optimizations to faidr, including new features, functionality, and UI design to be released later this quarter.
