>> Hello World. Welcome to Microsoft Unboxed.
[MUSIC]
We are here for a special episode of Microsoft Unboxed at Build.
Microsoft Build is Microsoft's Premier Developer Conference and
we're right here in the middle of
the action in Seattle, Washington.
Build is an event where a ton of incredible news gets announced,
but one of my favorite highlights from the morning
was seeing you in Satya's Keynote.
>> Thank you. I was asked to be part of Satya's Keynote and
deliver a demo about meeting transcriptions very well.
>> So what was it like to prepare for that demo?
>> They planned for this a couple of months in advance.
So they developed a lineup of what demos will be in it.
You have to audition almost to make sure you're in [inaudible] Keynote,
and then you start refining
and the script changes every five seconds.
For ours is really unique where we needed to
have a very soundproof setup,
because ours is talking about live transcription and translation
using the microphones just built
into your laptops and smartphones.
They actually built a green box
for us in this room on the show floor.
So soundproof and so we get like lock
ourselves in to make the best environment to do the demo.
At this morning, we had call time at 6:30 in the morning,
and mentally, you have to prepare yourself as much as physically.
Instead, I was reading Reddit in bus to get in time,
just think of funny, funny jokes.
>> Chill out.
>> Yeah. Just to zone out,
and I remember thinking in my head while the
demo's going on like, "Oh this is happening.
Oh, this is happening right now.
I'm supposed to say the next line."
>> There's no turning back.
>> It was like [inaudible] , is like I could see
myself from above staring at Sonya being like,
"Sonya, say your line."
I'm running on Red Bull right now.
So we're good.
>> Well, you did a great job.
>> Thanks.
>> I'm hoping that this production here is
a little bit less pressure than your morning.
>> It's more pressure. All the pressure.
>> I have really high expectations.
>> I know. Currently this is like, "Sonya, do better."
"I'm trying." Let's get to
the more important and cool stuff which is
like all the Build fast facts we have.
>> I would say equally important.
>> Okay, it's the sixth year of Build,
we have over 6,000 attendees
here in Seattle at the Washington State Convention Center.
>> The conference occupies over 200,000 square feet.
>> Hundreds of millions.
>> It's a little bit less than hundreds of millions,
but still a large number.
>> There is nearly 500 student-age developers,
and we actually just ran into a group of five students that we
had interviewed from a what's new in EDU video,
and they had just participated in this great competition,
and they all won, which was amazing, their state competition.
>> There are over 25 million pixels
of LED lights used in the production of this event.
>> Woah.
>> That's a lot of light.
>> There's over 2,600 customers and partners in attendance.
Very valuable partners and obviously
customers you get to come in and see our solutions firsthand.
>> That's pretty cool.
>> Lastly, the furthest distance traveled is 10,000 miles.
>> Where do you think that's from?
>> I have no idea. It took me nine minutes
to get here this morning.
>> It took me 12. Twelve whole minutes to get here.
>> Not 10,000 miles?
>> Yeah, so kudos whoever made it that far.
>> Yeah, we appreciate you being here.
>> I hope you enjoyed Build..
>> Sonya and I are both going to talk about some of
the great announcements that were made in
Satya's Keynote this morning at Build.
One of the primary messages
that was delivered in the Keynote today is that,
trust is central to everything that we do.
Particularly when it comes to privacy,
cybersecurity, and responsible AI.
>> Trust.
>> Another big message,
Azure is the world's computer.
>> Yeah, it is.
>> Azure and all of our products and
services are working harder than ever
to empower developers and the enterprise.
I'm going to talk about one of those enterprises.
>> Oh yeah.
>> How do you feel about Starbucks?
>> Duh, we're in the homeland
right now. Of course, I love Starbucks.
>> Yeah, you know Sonya,
I love the whole experience of walking into a Starbucks store.
It's just so familiar.
It's a friendly place.
I like to catch up with my barista,
while she's making my coconut milk cappuccino.
I never really stopped to think about
how much technology is
happening behind the scenes for Starbucks to give me,
and there are a 100 million other weekly customers.
Such a seamless and
personal experience whether I'm at
my neighborhood Starbucks here in Seattle,
or around the globe,
somewhere in a different part of the world.
That Starbucks still has the same technology that's helping make
my drinking and coffee experience more enjoyable.
So Starbucks is infusing artificial intelligence
into its end customer experiences.
>> So not just infused teas.
>> Infused AI.
>> I'm a Starbucks customer.
Let's say open my app and the app will know that
because I've never made any dairy purchases before,
that they should probably recommend
coconut or almond milk instead.
Azure Sphere, is also getting built
into the Starbucks Espresso Machines,
so it's getting easier than ever to
program these machines to make new beverages,
and speaking of the beans that
Starbucks is using in these delicious beverages,
we're bringing Blockchain to beans.
>> Blockchain.
>> So you can use the app, the Starbucks app.
Take a photo, I got the bag of beans,
and I'll give you the entire history
of where your beans came from.
>> Customers can check out the impact that they're
having on farmer's local economies,
and even the environmental economy.
>> There was also a mixed reality,
HoloLens demo using HoloLens 2 with Mattel which was amazing.
Someone was remote wearing a HoloLens and it pulled up
her avatar while the guy was in a physical room.
They could collaborate on all the content
that they have in their own team's channel,
then in this mixed reality space.
Work on it together,
pull in someone on their PC so they could be just in on
teams on video looking and able to manipulate the data,
then they had a fourth guy come in.
>> On his phone.
>> On his Android phone, put it up,
and he was able to manipulate the 3D models in it.
It was super super cool.
>> We're going to go check out some of
the stuff on the show floor.
I hear there's some cars and puppies as well.
So we're going to go and check it out now.
>> Cars and puppies. Let's go.
[MUSIC]
>> We are just outside of the expo floor,
and we have luckily run into the CyberCode Twins;
America and Penelope Lopez. Welcome to the show.
>> Yeah, we are excited to be here at Build.
>> Your passion is incredibly palpable
and I'm wondering where it comes from.
>> We grew up in the public housing projects,
and the way we got access to a computer was through a chess club.
You play chess, be just at least one game,
and you got access to the computer for like a couple hours.
>> The female professor there
who encouraged me to keep on learning,
even though it got difficult.
She suggested I go to meetup.com.
I told my sister about Meetup,
but she took it the wrong way.
>> I thought it was a dating website.
We ended up going to a Hackathon.
>> Well, it's easy to build tech,
but it's hard to build community.
So that's why I really love the Microsoft Build,
because you see how you get going up
the community out here a lot to learn,
what's more happening here.
>> Where are you building your community?
>> We help build communities in Puerto Rico,
Tijuana, and we're looking forward to India.
>> What is this cross-section between
tech and social impact that you hope
to get out of building these communities.
>> To me sustainability,
water rights, climate change.
A lot of the students already feel
the need to address these challenges right now,
at the age of 14.
I would like to call them the AI Generation,
because they're the ones who are going to be
pushing for a lot of these breakthroughs.
The AI revolution is coming,
but we like say who's coming for AI?
It's going to be Gen AI. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Thank you both for the work that you're doing.
I am so full of energy right now.
>> Yeah. Thank you.
Thank you for this wonderful event.
This is awesome. It's a Build old Build.
Yeah, awesome.
