THE 21 HATS PODCAST: DASHBOARD
The AI Agents Are Coming! This week, Gene Marks tells us that the first really meaningful AI applications aimed at smaller businesses will arrive in the coming months. Gene does offer some caveats, including his mantra: “Never buy the first version of anything from Microsoft.” But he also offers some tantalizing examples of things AI agents will do for business owners in the very near future, like qualifying sales leads and then putting a sales rep through a role-playing exercise to prepare for a specific client. What should owners do now to prepare? “Beat up your vendors,” says Gene. “And clean up your data.”
