This episode marks a fresh start for the podcast with new co-host Raman joining Brad after their previous co-host Justin's departure. The conversation introduces Prospera Labs, their AI company, and discusses their vision for the future of the podcast and for AI agents in business.
Key Points:
Prospera Labs focuses on creating AI agents (they specifically avoid the term "chatbots" due to negative associations with older technology)
They offer two main products:
An AI receptionist that can be set up in minutes to handle calls and bookings
A sales agent developed to handle their own high volume of incoming requests
Future Vision:
They predict AI agents will become as essential for businesses as websites were in the 1990s
Plan to develop a low-code/no-code platform for entrepreneurs to build custom AI agents
Focus on serving business people rather than engineers, unlike competitors
Future plans include integration of video, image technology, and security monitoring
Business Strategy:
Current dual approach: Ready-to-use SaaS products and custom AI agent development
Long-term goal to create a platform where businesses can build their own AI agents
Emphasis on actually testing and using their own platform before releasing features to customers
Commitment to maintaining consulting services as long as they provide genuine value
Background: Raman shares his history of running a software development company for 15-18 years and coming out of retirement to join this venture, while Brad brings AI expertise and existing technology infrastructure to the partnership.
The episode provides insight into their business philosophy, emphasizing the importance of creating genuine value and maintaining integrity in their AI solutions while making the technology accessible to non-technical entrepreneurs.
