DESCRIPTION:William founded Evi (formerly True Knowledge)\, a Cambridge-ba
 sed Artificial Intelligence technology business that makes the Evi product
 . The vision for the business was a world where people could find out any 
 information they needed just by asking naturally for it – the computer w
 ould understand them and give them back exactly what they wanted. Founded 
 in 2006 with the core technology and a patent application\, the vision has
  stayed exactly the same\, though the business went through multiple pivot
 s to find success.  How brilliant does a product need to be to succeed in 
 a crowded market?  How do you remain focussed on your vision through multi
 ple pivots?  Clearly Evi hit a milestone when Amazon acquired the company.
