About the show:

Automation For Agencies is the podcast where AppSumo founders meet agency owners. Host Drew Rattray scores every tool against the Agency Viability Score (AVS) rubric — white-label depth, multi-client management, reseller viability, integration flexibility, and roadmap confidence — so agency listeners know what's actually worth buying. Learn · Launch · Scale.

Guest bio:

Ayush Bansal is the founder of Blip AI, a voice-to-text productivity tool that converts spoken thoughts into ready-to-send text inside any application. Previously an engineer at Amazon and Microsoft, Ayush has built Blip with a focus on sub-second latency and high reliability — and held the top-three deal position on AppSumo for three consecutive weeks at launch. He is active on LinkedIn and contactable through the Blip AI website at blip.ai (or via the AppSumo listing).

Key quotes:

"Our eventual goal is to move into memory layer and do something more with voice. It would be like a voice operating system where you could do most of the stuff with your voice."
