For the third time in a row, I was a presenter at the yearly TIPPA meeting, which is The Annual International Publication Planning Meeting. This time, I gave a brief overview of what’s happening in the NLG field and tried to analyze how this development will affect us, our professions, and the society we live in.

For this presentation, I picked out three companies as interesting examples:

• Sweden-based United Robots because it has quickly become an exciting player on both sides of the Atlantic, not least in the field of automated journalism.
• Sweden-based Cowrite as I find their cover letter builder intriguing; with a template based on classical rhetoric, it has apparently proved itself effective.
• Germany-based AX Semantics as they are one of the companies that are focusing on the pharmaceutical sector. For example, they claim that 30% of the work on clinical study reports can now be automated.

I welcome all participants to stay in touch, perhaps even drop me a line! Take care! //O.

NLG in Pharma

Some companies that are working on NLG-based tools and solutions for the pharmaceutical field:

• Automation of Clinical Study Reports (CSRs) using AI (narrativa.com)
• The Role of NLG-based Reporting Automation in the Pharma Industry (phrazor.ai)
• The transformative impact of NLG on Pharma (arria.com)
