EPISODE OVERVIEW

Duration: Approximately 35 minutes

Best For: Trapped entrepreneurs who feel overwhelmed by AI possibilities and skeptical about whether it applies to their business

Key Outcome: Understand how AI can become your tireless assistant, freeing you from repetitive tasks so you can step back from the day-to-day

He spent 30 years building businesses. Then he discovered AI made him more valuable, not less.

THE BOTTOM LINE

You built your business over 15 or 20 years. You know your craft. You solve problems every single day. The thing is, you're hearing about AI everywhere and part of you wonders if it's just another shiny object, more complexity, more overwhelm when you're already drowning. Laurent Cohen has been exactly where you are. Three decades of entrepreneurship across e-commerce, SaaS, and now AI. What he discovered will challenge everything you've assumed about artificial intelligence. The truth is that AI doesn't replace experienced problem solvers. It amplifies them. Those years you spent learning to think on your feet, to see the bigger picture, to navigate chaos? That's precisely what AI needs. The young guys who only know theory? Their advantage just disappeared. Your advantage just multiplied. This episode shows you how to stop feeling overwhelmed by AI and start using it as the tireless assistant you've always needed, one that never leaves after three weeks because your brain moves too fast.

WHY THIS EPISODE MATTERS TO YOU

When you learn to use AI as an extension of your thinking, you stop storing everything in your head and finally have mental space to breathe

AI handles the 70% of repetitive tasks your team does daily, which means your people can focus on human connection and your customers feel more valued, not less

You discover that your decades of experience make you better at directing AI than someone half your age, the problem solving skills you've honed become your unfair advantage

Every week you delay learning this, you're choosing to stay trapped in tasks that could be handled by a patient assistant who works 24 hours a day and never asks for time off

KEY INSIGHTS YOU CAN IMPLEMENT TODAY

AI is like money, it doesn't change you, it amplifies who you already are. When you're a problem solver who built something real, AI makes you more of that. When you start asking questions about the things you genuinely care about, your family, your health, your business, you'll naturally learn how AI works. No course required. Just curiosity and the willingness to pull the thread.

The reason your communication with AI feels frustrating is the same reason your communication with staff felt frustrating. You weren't being clear enough. The thing is, AI forces you to see this immediately. Laurent discovered that learning to prompt AI properly made him a better communicator with everyone in his life. Your team meetings will improve because AI taught you to articulate what you actually want.

Stop hiring based on CVs. Laurent now hands candidates a problem, tells them to use whatever AI tools they want, and returns in 30 minutes. He's not testing their memory. He's testing their ability to solve problems using the tools available. This is how you find people who can actually reduce your workload instead of adding to it.

You need three things on top of AI to escape the trap: your data, automation to connect your systems, and workflows to keep focus. This framework existed for large companies for decades. Now you can access it. The trapped entrepreneur who figures this out first stops being the bottleneck because the system runs without constant input.

AI gives you the ability to think outside your brain. You don't need to learn design to get a beautiful website. You don't need to learn code to build a database. You direct the agent like you would direct a skilled employee, only this one never quits, never gets frustrated, and is available at 5am when you're already working anyway.

GOLDEN QUOTES WORTH REMEMBERING

"AI is just as good as the one piloting it. You have to adjust. We need to be problem solvers, entrepreneur. People like us, a little bit older, with a lot of experience, AI is exactly what we needed." - Laurent Cohen

"I've actually for the past eight months have never learned as much as my whole life. I'm visiting territories that I would have never dared to visit before with confidence because I've got a sidekick." - Roy Castleman

"A day when you not learn something, is there a day you wasted in itself." - Laurent Cohen

"Any business is built on trust. And now AI is a tool that can break that trust because you're trying to fool people. And you will not win a business by fooling your customers." - Laurent Cohen

"AI has made me a better worker and probably a better human in many aspects." - Laurent Cohen

::

Good morning, good evening, good afternoon, wherever you are in

2

::

the world. I want to welcome Lauren Cohen, who we're

3

::

going to have a conversation about AI and just the

4

::

possibilities. I believe AI is just such a tool that

5

::

can inform good. There's a lot of fear about it,

6

::

a lot of conversation about it, but so many more

7

::

people are becoming accepting of it. So. So tell us

8

::

what you do. Hello, Roy. Thank you for having me

9

::

on your podcast. It's a real pleasure being here. Your

10

::

introduction was right on point. AI is not either negative

11

::

or positive. AI is a tool. AI is a solution.

12

::

AI is technology inherently. It doesn't have anything bad in

13

::

it. I like to compare it to money. Money is

14

::

a currency, and money doesn't change people. It turns them

15

::

into who they really are. AI is the same. AI

16

::

is technology. When you start interacting with AI, if you're

17

::

a worker, you work even more. If you're a learner,

18

::

you learn even more. And if you have bad thing

19

::

in your head, it will make it even worse. I

20

::

love what you said there. If you're a worker, you'll

21

::

work even more. Because that's so true, right? Yeah. I

22

::

found myself suffering from this AI overwhelm for a long

23

::

period of the journey because as an entrepreneur, I think

24

::

one of our skills and our strengths and our weaknesses

25

::

is that we see opportunities everywhere. AI comes along and

26

::

the number of opportunities just multiplies by a thousand times.

27

::

So you try and do all of them. And as

28

::

business owners, we have one thing we need to do.

29

::

Fix the problem that you're trying to fix. Stan. This

30

::

is so true, Roy. We both have the same sickness.

31

::

Ideas are flowing. And now we have this wonderful tool

32

::

that let us explore, go as deep as we've ever

33

::

wanted to do our whole life. I'm talking to myself,

34

::

and the way you're talking, I know what the feeling.

35

::

I'm digging so deep into knowledge. As a man, all

36

::

my life I've always been putting attention on, making sure

37

::

that every day of my life I'm learning something. I

38

::

was always thinking that a day when you not learn

39

::

something, is there a day you wasted in itself? So

40

::

now with AI, I'm overwhelmed. There's a lot of AI

41

::

bashing, but people are afraid on how to tackle AI.

42

::

And I tell anyone that wants to listen. If you

43

::

want to work in AI, work with AI. Work around

44

::

AI. Start by the beginning. Ask AI a question, learn

45

::

something, any subject, something you love, a passion, what you're

46

::

working, the relationship with, your kids, your wife. Just ask.

47

::

Let it come to you then dig, pull the thread

48

::

and in itself you will learn something. But along the

49

::

way you will learn what is AI, how you need

50

::

to harness AI. AI is just as good as the

51

::

one piloting it. You have to adjust. We need to

52

::

be problem solvers, entrepreneur. But I think this is exactly

53

::

what AI is and what AI needs problem solving. We

54

::

don't need any more of the young, the guys. Those

55

::

guys were good for 20 years. Now people like us,

56

::

a little bit older, with a lot of experience, AI

57

::

is exactly what we needed. You wake up in the

58

::

day as a business owner, you have 10 problems. By

59

::

the end of the day we'd have solved three, but

60

::

you would have gotten maybe 10 more. But that's fine,

61

::

that's exactly what you do it. And exactly. AI is

62

::

the most important advancement in technology. I agree. I think

63

::

there's a deeper lessons that we learn from AI I'll

64

::

give you an example. You have a team of staff

65

::

members, or your family or your friends and you go

66

::

through life believing that you're communicating well. Then you start

67

::

playing with ChatGPT and you ask it to do something

68

::

and it gives you rubbish. You ask it to do

69

::

one or two things and then you suddenly have to

70

::

self reflect what am I doing wrong that's making this

71

::

not work? So you look at the question that you've

72

::

just asked and you say, I wasn't very clear. How

73

::

can I be more clear? And this is a journey

74

::

of mastery, right? You have to go through the steps

75

::

of this journey of mastery. And as you do this,

76

::

I now communicate much better with everybody else because, because

77

::

of AI. It just happened today for me. I, I

78

::

actually for the past eight months have never learned as

79

::

much as my whole life. I'm visiting territories that I

80

::

would have never dared to visit before with confidence because

81

::

I've got a sidekick. I got sidekicks with are different

82

::

agents that are supporting me, that are patient, that are

83

::

elegant. But I had this example specifically today. I was

84

::

working on a piece of code to, to retrieve data.

85

::

I didn't know anything about this eight months ago. So

86

::

I worked on it, I learned and AI trained me.

87

::

I didn't only train my AI, he trained me in

88

::

return. It was not the ultimate result I dreamt of,

89

::

but I was happy. And now I wake up this

90

::

morning and I say I need to do better on

91

::

that subject, something is wrong. I deep dive in it

92

::

with the agent and the agent in a minute comes

93

::

back with a much more elegant solution for me. So

94

::

I'm asking myself, why didn't he Deliver that elegant solution

95

::

seven months ago. He knew it. He's been here all

96

::

along. But I didn't ask that. This is exactly it.

97

::

So you learn about yourself, you learn about engagement, you

98

::

learn about workflows, you learn about old guardrails. I've got

99

::

this massive intelligence in front of me that's ready to

100

::

do something with me, but now I'm going to tame

101

::

it. And the funny thing I would add is that

102

::

it has changed the way I interact with people, but

103

::

it has definitely changed the way I hire people nowadays.

104

::

First of all, I see my agents as HR resources,

105

::

not machines. And I treat them as such. When I'm

106

::

upset, I tell them. When I'm happy, I tell them.

107

::

When I need to push a button, I push it.

108

::

I treat the same way people are mirroring. If someone.

109

::

It used to be that you look at the resume,

110

::

what have you done? You test the person. It's over

111

::

for me. I asked the person to come. I said,

112

::

okay, I have this problem. You have your phone, you

113

::

can have Gemini. I do not care. I will come

114

::

back in 30 minutes. And I'm not asking you to

115

::

find a solution, but I'm asking you, what are you

116

::

able to deliver in 30 minutes using the agent that

117

::

gonna show me that you will find a solution for

118

::

me. And this has changed because of AI. And I

119

::

know so many HR people that are still doing it

120

::

wrong. They receive those people for with their resume. They

121

::

say, put your phone away. This is insane. You don't

122

::

do that anymore. You have the agents, you live with

123

::

the agents. You know, you embrace the agents. I've written

124

::

a book that I'll be releasing soon called thinking outside

125

::

your brain with AI. And one of the core principles

126

::

in there is that we've always had to learn information

127

::

into our brain. We've had to take in this information,

128

::

reading good books, doing things, learn the stuff, then store

129

::

the stuff, then process the stuff. And now we're in

130

::

an age we don't have to do that. We can

131

::

think outside our brain. Yeah, I want to design a

132

::

website now. I'm not a designer. I don't have that

133

::

skill. But I can get that skill outside my brain.

134

::

I can tell the agent, I want you to be

135

::

a designer of this type with this skill. And I

136

::

can know how to direct it in such a way

137

::

that I now don't have to go and learn how

138

::

to be a designer. I can get the job done

139

::

right now. That doesn't take away from designers. I've never

140

::

been very arty. I've Never been able to draw a

141

::

picture. I've never been able to do these things to

142

::

that level that I see people sit down with a

143

::

piece of paper and do it. But now I can

144

::

get the job done right. I can get what I

145

::

needed to done by using this concept of thinking outside

146

::

my brain. One example, I use Notion as a database

147

::

tool and I use Claud code. Claud code is my

148

::

favorite. Cl. Cl is my favorite at the moment. And.

149

::

Yeah. Have you ever had a really good receptionist or

150

::

a really good personal assistant? Yeah. You're talking a human

151

::

one. Yeah, a human one. Yeah. No, I've had two.

152

::

I've had two in my life. And normally what happens

153

::

is they're with me for three weeks and then I

154

::

can't deal with you, or your brain is all over

155

::

the place and they go. Because I'm always thinking about

156

::

15 different things at once. And now during my workflow

157

::

with my Claude, I'm like, okay, I've got this idea.

158

::

Just let's work on this idea. Just. Why don't you

159

::

put this into Notion for me? And it goes away

160

::

and it puts into notion. I'm like, okay, give me

161

::

the databases, give me the pages. Yeah, that's right. This

162

::

is wrong. And I can now. Now it's outside. I

163

::

don't have to store that in my head anymore. It's

164

::

outside my head, and it just frees up the space

165

::

inside my head. So I've gotten way more time for

166

::

thinking because I don't have to be storing as much.

167

::

I do that all the time. If anybody's listening and

168

::

just starting with AI you hear what Roy is saying

169

::

right now. You're not talking only about work. You're talking

170

::

about organization. This is the core of anything you want

171

::

to do in your work life. And you know that

172

::

because you've been entrepreneur even before the AI era. You

173

::

know that's not new. You just apply it. For me,

174

::

it's the same. I'm very strict with my agents. Do

175

::

it in best practice. Do it elegantly. Present me a

176

::

safe solution. Safe, best practice. Elegant. Those are words I

177

::

keep on saying. Because I need my agent to know

178

::

who I am, how I work. Maybe you're an artist

179

::

and you want your agent to be free. Tell him

180

::

to be free. Tell him I give you all the

181

::

freedom in the world. Deliver something for me, myself. No,

182

::

I'm strict. So the way I interact with them is.

183

::

Okay, we've tackled a subject today. Write me an operational

184

::

book, send it to me in PDF, put it in

185

::

your knowledge base. Put it in notion, do what you

186

::

would do if you were with humans. I think there's

187

::

one more thing, the context window. People don't understand this.

188

::

I encourage people to think about this. Every time you

189

::

use a large language model, you start working on the

190

::

thread and you go deeper and it's doing really well.

191

::

And then at some point it stops doing well. Right.

192

::

The reason for this is that as you're going through

193

::

it can only remember the last few things, the last

194

::

five or six prompts, something like Claude tries to load

195

::

the whole thread every time, it uses up all your

196

::

tokens. Just not an efficient way of practice. If you

197

::

think of the each thread that you run as I've

198

::

got five to ten prompts in here before I need

199

::

to get this information out and then go to a

200

::

different thread, you know, then you can start getting to

201

::

something useful. So now this is very important because

202

::

now we are slightly moving from discussing what AI can

203

::

do for you to what do you need to put

204

::

on top of the AI layer to really create a

205

::

business, create a story, create what you are building. And

206

::

I think that today, any workflow

207

::

that you're building with an AI needs three more things.

208

::

It needs data, your data. You need automations because you

209

::

have all those agents, you want them to work together,

210

::

you want them to attach with the data. Notion of

211

::

space, notion of time, all those things are linked to

212

::

automation. And now next are workflows. You're pulling a thread

213

::

and as deep as you go into the thread. So

214

::

what workflow does is that you keep a focus on

215

::

one thread, whatever it is, generative, video, text, music, math,

216

::

you keep it. And then you open a new agent,

217

::

you say, okay, connect. And now I know you know

218

::

that, Roy, but I'm trying to tell to anybody who's

219

::

listening, but it works. Now you have a workflow of

220

::

two systems. And by the way, those things existed forever

221

::

but were only accessible for medium and large companies. Now

222

::

the sea level is getting higher for everyone. So now

223

::

if you have workflows, data, automation, those three things on

224

::

top of the AI layer will make you what you

225

::

want to build. Now you're getting into something real. Yeah,

226

::

and I think there's something deeper in that as well.

227

::

As entrepreneurs especially, you know, 5, 10, 15, even 20

228

::

people, companies, we go into the business and we start

229

::

with, we do everything ourselves, then we hire somebody. And

230

::

every time we hire somebody, we're giving them what we

231

::

know how to do, we're giving them some instructions, but

232

::

we don't give them the correct instructions. We don't give

233

::

them their standard operating procedure properly. Let them do it,

234

::

because we haven't got the time to do all of

235

::

that. To your point of workflows, you can't create a

236

::

workflow unless step by step. Exactly what you do, right?

237

::

So if you're going to go to NHN or Zapier

238

::

or make.com or any of these tools and try and

239

::

automate things, the very first thing you need to do

240

::

is know exactly, step by step, what the process is

241

::

you're doing. And then you have to build the human

242

::

in. Because if you don't build the human in, then

243

::

you lost. Check the AI. Give it a task. That's

244

::

a small task. Make sure it can flow. Make sure.

245

::

I'm going to pick up this image from here. I'm

246

::

going to put it into this thumbnail here. Does that

247

::

look right? Tick a box. Now I can go and

248

::

load it onto YouTube. But this first process of finding

249

::

out exactly what your SOPs are is fundamental. Yes,

250

::

this is fundamental, Roy. I think AI has made me

251

::

a better worker and probably a better human in many

252

::

aspects. This is something that I've learned. Not that I

253

::

didn't apply before in my career. I had businesses, I

254

::

had workflows in my career. But now all those resources

255

::

that AI brings you allow you to take a step

256

::

back. You didn't take in the old world because you

257

::

didn't have the tool. So you just go boom. You're

258

::

bootstrapping what you're doing. But now, because it is so

259

::

efficient, now you can see the big picture. So you

260

::

take a step back for a moment. It already goes

261

::

very fast. It's enough. Speed is good, it's locked down.

262

::

Now let's do something else. Let's see the big picture.

263

::

And it's very interesting because that's exactly how we decided

264

::

to build our company. Taking a step back for a

265

::

tool that is already mature and it already used in

266

::

the workplace, but not by becoming the next SaaS company

267

::

selling that tool door to door. Take a step back.

268

::

See the big picture here. Yes, this is something that

269

::

you acquire because AI give you the structure to acquire

270

::

it. Now there's so much around the fact that AI

271

::

is going to take my job, it's going to take

272

::

the jobs. We've all heard the stories and the arguments

273

::

one way or the other. And yes, AI is going

274

::

to be doing 70% of the jobs within the next

275

::

two years. But this gives us such an opportunity. If

276

::

you have a 10 user company, those people are busy

277

::

doing 70% of their day, repetitive tasks that they don't

278

::

really enjoy doing. But they also have 30% of their

279

::

capacity that they could be doing more human. They could

280

::

be connecting, they could be engaging, they could be interacting,

281

::

they could be doing customer service better, they could be

282

::

having more time to go out and do sales more

283

::

effectively. A salesman that goes out and is able to

284

::

do 10 meetings in a day has been taken away.

285

::

He's going to be much more efficient and he's going

286

::

to be much happier. So my challenge for business owners

287

::

right now is how do you bring more human to

288

::

your company? Because as we go into this AI world,

289

::

we're going to have two things happening. A bunch of

290

::

people will automate everything and just have AI do everything.

291

::

Then other people are going to go and say, let's

292

::

be more human. Right? This gives us the opportunity. And

293

::

everybody that does AI to everything is going to look

294

::

bland. Those companies that value the human, those are the

295

::

ones that are going to stand out. AI as a

296

::

new technology is a growth engine. There's absolutely no doubt

297

::

about that. So it's creating wealth. If it's creating wealth,

298

::

people will hire people. This is not changing because we

299

::

need that problem solving, that thinking out of the

300

::

box. That doesn't do AI, doesn't think out of the

301

::

box. It's a in a box. So we have this

302

::

thing that is inherently human that needs to be here

303

::

to use AI properly. Now, what about job? That's going

304

::

to be lost. I'm going to be cynical and pretty

305

::

blunt. I come from a country, France, where I'm born

306

::

and raised, where in the workplace you have a massive

307

::

amount of people whose soul work in life is

308

::

navigating between the politics of the company that are existing,

309

::

between the water cooler and the coffee machine. Right. Profile,

310

::

personalized. Those don't deserve to work in the workplace unless

311

::

they want to change the way they're doing things. So

312

::

if the price of AI is for them to lose

313

::

their job, I'm okay with that. Yes. It's maybe hard

314

::

to say or hard to hear because I don't have

315

::

problems saying it, but if you change the way you're

316

::

doing things, if you adjust and decide that your life

317

::

is about working and creating and making moves, everything

318

::

going to be fine now. So

319

::

where do you see things going? We've got so much

320

::

going on at the moment, and we'll talk a little

321

::

bit about your company and maybe some of your history

322

::

before that. What did you do beforehand? I know you're

323

::

in Israel at the moment, which is scary. So Tell

324

::

me a little bit about your history beforehand before you're

325

::

now in the AI space. Yes, I was an entrepreneur

326

::

all my life. I started back in 1993. I was

327

::

22 in the environment business in France and I

328

::

was working with public companies, I was working with government

329

::

entities. So what I was telling you about, I know

330

::

very well. And one thing that I've learned because I

331

::

still love my country and where I come from, when

332

::

you live in France, when you're born in France, when

333

::

you're raised and educated there, and I would say that

334

::

for all over Europe, you acquire a sense of craftsmanship

335

::

that is unique. You have a sense of detail, you

336

::

know what to do, those little things that people do

337

::

not see but feel when you're building a project. That's

338

::

what we're good at in Europe. But then I moved

339

::

to America because I had the American dream. So I

340

::

had a window of opportunity. I was just married and

341

::

I tell my newly wife, let's go, I want to

342

::

do it. And the good thing was that it was

343

::

2002, right after the Internet bubble and it was really

344

::

the land of opportunity in many ways. Everybody had lost

345

::

their money. In 1999, Google was just starting. It was

346

::

like the far west in literally. So I just deep

347

::

dive into E commerce and I had the best time

348

::

of my life from then to 2020. This was 20

349

::

years when I built using e commerce, SEO, SEM, social

350

::

media, you name it. And I have tons of story.

351

::

But it was very beautiful times. And there I came

352

::

from craftsmanship to learning efficiency. Now I'm in

353

::

America. You need to learn craftsmanship, but at a certain

354

::

point you just stop and do your go to market

355

::

because go fetch that money. Learn to adjust. And now

356

::

I have two luggages with me. It's efficient, literally. And

357

::

now I opened this new company on AI and I'm

358

::

opening an office in Israel because here in Tel Aviv

359

::

there are many very strong resources in terms of technology

360

::

and specifically AI. And now I'm here and I'm working

361

::

and going to the under the building every other hours

362

::

because they're bombings. And now I learned something else. I

363

::

learned urgency. Craftsmanship is good, but not when bomba are

364

::

on your head, no, when there's no tomorrow, you're still

365

::

working now, you work differently, you think differently. So now

366

::

I move from craftsmanship to efficiency to urgency. And I'm

367

::

54, so I think that when you're blessed enough, because

368

::

this is my wealth, I've been able to travel and

369

::

see different cultures and different way of Thinking those are

370

::

the things that make me who I am. Especially being

371

::

business. It allowed me to build company expanding worldwide. I

372

::

do not think that you can expand worldwide if you

373

::

don't know the cultures specifically on the digital. If you're

374

::

E commerce. If you want to sell in Japan, you

375

::

better know the Japanese culture. If you want to say

376

::

in Germany, you better know the German culture. Where do

377

::

you think the next 12 months will go before we

378

::

close? First of all, I think that as a species,

379

::

human, we will have a self defense protective thing that's

380

::

going to happen with AI I think you've said that

381

::

before, but I'm going to put it in other words,

382

::

we gonna stay away from this perfection that AI is

383

::

doing. We want to look for the little fault, the

384

::

little scratch on the wall, because as human, we're gonna

385

::

say, okay, you're trying to fool me here with your

386

::

video. I don't believe what you're saying. So we're gonna

387

::

go back to that. We're going to go back to

388

::

real life too, because we're going to need that. And

389

::

when that happens, I think the next step in AI

390

::

is for business to disclose that they're using AI now,

391

::

trying to come out with the most beautiful generative video

392

::

to fool people. Yes, it's beautiful. Yes, it looks human.

393

::

But here, made with AI No. This is important as

394

::

a business for a simple reason. Any business is built

395

::

on trust. And now AI is a tool that can

396

::

break that trust because you're trying to fool people. And

397

::

you will not win a business by fooling your customers.

398

::

So yes, the next 12 months will be about disclosing

399

::

AI yeah, I agree with that. So, Carlos, just a

400

::

little bit about your current business and then we'll close

401

::

off. Thank you. When I said we tried to build

402

::

GetObject differently is when I started to tackle the voice

403

::

AI subject and understanding that it was very mature. AI

404

::

now understands emotion. It speaks elegantly. It works 24 7.

405

::

We all know that. But now what do I do

406

::

if I want to have a company that is scalable?

407

::

So I try to understand who are my customers. My

408

::

customers are small and local businesses. I want to equip

409

::

them with AI what do I need to convince them

410

::

that AI is good for them? I need to work

411

::

on trust. Their business has been built on trust.

412

::

The trust that they convey with their clients when they

413

::

enter the store or get over the phone. Ask questions,

414

::

reply, you don't take lightly. And when you sell voice

415

::

AI you don't tell a small business owner, hey, give

416

::

me the keys of what you've built for the last

417

::

20 years. So now that's the frame of it. How

418

::

do I maintain that trust? And our idea was very

419

::

simple. We are building a directory. Every

420

::

single business can have a listing there within two minutes

421

::

as now we have 1.8 million business listed. But the

422

::

cool thing is that immediately once the listing is approved,

423

::

you have an AI that is deployed on the page

424

::

that is pre trained on the information provided. So now

425

::

you have an AI that is free, that is on

426

::

the page that customers can start interacting with when they

427

::

visit the directory. And even the business owner can start

428

::

playing with it and understand what voice AI can do

429

::

for him. So now you see what I'm doing Roy,

430

::

I'm creating trust. The guy didn't spend a dime, but

431

::

he has something fully working. We have a fully working

432

::

AI. So now the next step for him is to

433

::

subscribe to our solution. And then we provide the ultra

434

::

bank voice for online for transfer, call, connection to WhatsApp,

435

::

connection to CRM, everything. We have a package for that,

436

::

but only once trust has been built. So this is

437

::

how we been doing thing and it's doing very well.

438

::

We're very happy. Thank you so much for joining me.

439

::

Stay safe. And how can people get hold of you?

440

::

What's the Best way? Visit g.com you go to the

441

::

footer, we have all the social media there. If anybody

442

::

has a question, if I can help anyone, just send

443

::

a message, it will get to me. Thank you so

444

::

much for joining me. Thank you Roy.
