On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Georgiana ‘Gia’ Laudi, a strategic advisor, keynote speaker, and co-founder of Forget The Funnel, a consultancy focused on helping B2B SaaS companies drive predictable, recurring revenue through a truly customer-led approach. In this episode, Gia and I will explore why so many companies get stuck throwing “spaghetti at the wall,” instead of researching who their best customers really are. We’ll look at the common pitfalls teams face when relying solely on funnel-based thinking—plus the steps any organization can take to cultivate a thriving, customer-centric culture. Gia will also share highlights from the remarkable work she’s done with various SaaS brands, as well as tips you can put into practice right away. KEY TAKEAWAYS Two years after drafting up a customer experience map for our company, through the lens of the customer, we grew revenue by 900%. We’d aligned the team and the company, and it facilitated more streamlined conversation, more alignment, more understanding cross-departmentally making things much easier. It gave us a tool and a shared language for operationalising around customer experience. A big reason for forgetting the funnel and leveraging a more customer-led approach is through the lens of recurring revenue businesses. Even if you don’t have a recurring revenue business model most businesses agree that customer retention, expanding existing accounts vs finding new customers contains a lot of value. This serves all kinds of businesses very well. Customer research is often equated with long, drawn-out projects that are very costly and leave you with more questions than answers. There’s a lot of resistance when we use the term ‘customer research’, we tend to use the term ‘customer insights’. We use targeted, streamlined and intentional research via ‘jobs to be done’ which reveal meaningful patterns from as little as 10-12 people which can identify what leads people to seek your business out. Not all customers are created equally, you shouldn’t try to serve every customer, narrow your focus on who really, really cares about the problem that you solve, has a high willingness to pay, deeply understands the value in what you provide and would sing your praises from the mountain tops. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you orient your operations around the customer experience it becomes easy to make all kinds of decisions.’ ‘Existing customers are worth more and are less costly to us as a business vs finding new customers.’ ‘Your relationship with your customer does not end with the purchase, it begins with the purchase.’ ‘Early stage companies should focus on one customer and do a really good job, later stage companies shouldn’t conflate all customers into a homogenous group but think of segmentation in a meaningful way so you can still provide high-converting and resonating experiences even for multiple segments.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Georgiana (“Gia”) Laudi is a strategic advisor, keynote speaker, and co-founder of Forget The Funnel, a consultancy specializing in customer-led growth for B2B SaaS companies. With over 20 years of experience in marketing and product strategy, she’s helped high-growth businesses such as Unbounce, Calendly, and Sprout Social deepen customer insights, align teams around customer value, and drive predictable, recurring revenue. As co-author of the book “Forget The Funnel,” Gia advocates a practical, step-by-step approach to uncovering why the best customers buy—and how to ensure more of them succeed post-purchase. Based in Montreal, Gia is passionate about turning real customer needs into clear messaging, frictionless onboarding, and expansion strategies that empower businesses to scale sustainably. She joins Scouting for Growth to share her journey, discuss common growth pitfalls, and offer actionable tactics any organization can use to become truly customer-led.

Jeff Holman, founder of the law firm Intellectual Strategies, and his wife and operations lead, Brooke Holman, discuss their approach to running a fractional general counsel practice, primarily serving startups and scaling businesses. Jeff shares his background starting in Silicon Valley and moving to an in-house role before starting his own practice in 2018. The firm operates on various billing models, including flat fees, hourly rates, and retainers, but Jeff and Brooke are considering moving entirely away from hourly billing. They emphasize building the firm as a business, leveraging technology such as Monday.com, Calendly, Jotform, and various integrations to streamline operations and enhance client communication, allowing flexibility and scalability without compromising service quality. Brooke's role as an integrator complements Jeff's visionary approach, helping to set up and manage efficient systems from scratch.They explain their process for onboarding clients, utilizing a structured system to ensure clear communication and service delivery. They delve into the importance of aligning billing practices with client needs and expectations, suggesting that fixed fees and subscription models can foster better lawyer-client relationships compared to traditional hourly billing. Jeff and Brooke highlight their innovative use of technology and automation to maintain a lean operation, which allows them to offer their legal services at competitive prices while ensuring client satisfaction. They are also involved in building a community around the fractional general counsel space, indicating their commitment to both their clients and peers in reshaping the legal industry.__________________________Learn about Intellectual Strategies.Check out my other show, the Law for Kids Podcast.Get Connected with SixFifty, a business and employment legal document automation tool.Sign up for Gavel, an automation platform for law firms.Visit Law Subscribed to subscribe to the Substack newsletter to get notified about every episode, listen from your web browser, and for additional content.Follow @lawsubscribed everywhere.Sign up for the Subscription Seminar waitlist at subscriptionseminar.com.Check out Mathew Kerbis' law firm Subscription Attorney LLC.

Leaving northern Iraq wasn't just about escaping war—it was choosing a new life.Landing on U.S. soil wasn't starting from scratch; it was rewriting a story. The journey wasn't easy. Embracing the unknown, navigating a new culture, language barriers, and limited experience as a young civil engineer took bravery and strength. It was a bold step toward a brighter future.Three decades later, that decision is a testament to resilience, courage, and the pursuit of dreams. In her twenties, Sairan Aqrawi was forced to leave her home and family with a dream—and the weight of survival on her back. Her journey took her from war-torn Iraq to the United States.This wasn't just a relocation, it was a rebirth. What she carried with her wasn't just resilience, it was a relentless belief that reinvention is always possible, no matter where you begin.Today, as an engineer, business strategist, author, and leadership mentor Sairan helps professionals, especially women, turn life's hardest pivots into their most powerful comebacks.

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Sandhya Seshadri is the founder of Engineered Capital, a firm focused on helping professionals grow their wealth through commercial real estate and alternative investments. With a background in engineering, an MBA in finance, and a successful career in stock trading, she became financially independent before shifting her focus to real estate. Since 2018, Sandhya has been an active multifamily syndicator and passive investor in multiple asset classes including oil & gas and tech funds, bringing her analytical skill set and passion for tax-efficient investing to her growing investor community. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Sandhya began investing in stocks but transitioned to real estate for better tax advantages and cash flow. She started as a passive investor in multifamily before becoming an active general partner. Rising interest rates reshaped her strategy, leading her to explore oil & gas and technology funds. Passive investing offers the ability to leverage other people's expertise while generating income and appreciation. Asset class diversification and risk tolerance should drive investment decisions, not just projected returns. Topics From Engineering to Investing Started in corporate America but pursued investing to achieve financial independence. Learned to trade stocks and used that income to replace her W-2 job. Discovered real estate as a tax-advantaged strategy after hitting a tax ceiling with stock gains. Why Multifamily and Syndications Skipped single-family due to lack of appreciation and headaches from managing tenants and maintenance. Multifamily appealed due to professional property management, scalability, and the ability to raise capital from investors. Took the “passenger to pilot” approach—starting as an LP, then a co-GP, and finally a lead GP. Shifting the Strategy: From CRE to Alternatives Rising interest rates, property taxes, and insurance costs eroded multifamily cash flow. Pivoted to alternative investments that better suited current market conditions. Launched tech fund offerings for high-upside, long-term appreciation plays. Invested in oil & gas deals offering strong tax advantages and predictable cash flow backed by mineral rights. Carefully vets all deals personally before introducing them to investors. Oil & Gas Investing Explained Buys into mineral rights after oil is confirmed, reducing drilling risk. Returns often include 80% year-one depreciation via K-1 and cash flow within 24 months. No depreciation recapture and potential for 2.5–3x returns over a 7-year period. Great option for high-income professionals seeking tax relief and diversification. Investor Education and Risk Management Every asset class has its risks—invest small first, understand the model, and scale gradually. Focus on understanding the operator, the assumptions behind returns, and aligning with your personal goals. Diversify across asset types, hold periods, and cash flow profiles.

Eerst even een nieuwtje over mijn nieuwe weggever. Wil je de gratis video opnames hebben van een optreden van mij, over behandelplanning en organisatie, klik op de link op de Tandarts Business Mentor website, of bij de shownotes van deze podcast aflevering, of stuur mij een bericht op Linkedin. In deze aflevering ga ik voor de derde maal in gesprek met Nora Ennahachi. Samen duiken we in de zeven meest voorkomende valkuilen waar praktijkhouders tegenaan lopen. De zeven valkuilen die besproken worden : Gebrek aan een duidelijke visie en missie Onvoldoende heldere communicatie binnen de praktijk en met patiënten Een ongezonde hiërarchie binnen het team Geen prioriteit geven aan bijscholing en ontwikkeling Niet investeren in technologie en innovatie Onvoldoende financieel inzicht en grip op de cijfers Onderschatten van het belang van communicatie- en leiderschapstrainingen boven technische cursussen Verder behandelen we: “hoe het investeren in nieuwe technologie en hoe een goed inzicht in je financiën cruciaal zijn, om niet alleen als tandarts, maar ook als ondernemer je praktijk succesvol en toekomstbestendig te maken”. Beluister nu en ontdek Waarom 'je eigen broek ophouden als praktijkhouder belangrijker is dan je denkt. Hoe een ongezonde hiërarchie een stille cultuur can roddel en terughoudendheid creëert. Welke cursus een jonge tandarts écht nodig heeft (spoiler: geen endocursus!). Hoe technologie je praktijk lichter en gezonder kan maken. En natuurlijk: hoe je met een sterke visie en missie alle andere valkuilen voor kunt zijn. Kortom: een aflevering vol praktische inzichten en inspirerende tips voor elke tandartspraktijk die verder wil groeien! ----------------------- Ik ben Ron Steenkist. In de inspirerende wereld van de tandheelkunde ben ik tandarts en bovenal Tandarts Business Mentor. Als Mentor koester ik de diepe overtuiging dat elke tandarts in staat is om een succesvolle praktijk op te bouwen. Een praktijk met een solide winst en een praktijk die zich naadloos aanpast aan jouw levensstijl en omgeving, in plaats van andersom.

So you've had someone message you asking for more info about your program? Great job! So what do you do? Send them your Calendly link to book a call? Send them a pile of messages telling them how good your program is and all the details? This is what most coaches do and it's a huge mistake that generally will lead to you getting all those typical objections… “Sounds amazing but I don't have the money” “Let me think about it” “GHOST” You should never give info about your program until your first know that you can help the person, that you want to help them and they have the money.

In this week's Geek in Review, we sit down with Patrick Waldo, CEO of Unicorn Forms and proud Houstonian, to explore the intersections of data, document automation, and legal tech innovation. From the vibrant startup culture at Houston's ION and the Capital Factory's SXSW House event to the regulatory grind of form design, Waldo shares how his journey—from working in compliance-heavy industries to launching a playfully named but technically serious platform—is reshaping how we think about document-driven workflows.Waldo pulls back the curtain on Unicorn Forms' approach to digitizing and structuring data trapped in PDFs. With a background in regulatory intelligence, he understands firsthand how critical, yet painfully inefficient, static documents can be. Unicorn Forms aims to transform the “eight-and-a-half-by-eleven world” into structured, field-driven digital tools. By mimicking the look and feel of familiar e-sign interfaces while embedding structured fields and integrations like Calendly or Stripe, the platform bridges the gap between legal formality and technical interoperability.Security and compliance are at the heart of the conversation as Waldo outlines the different levels of electronic trust, explaining how Unicorn Forms distinguishes itself with hashed documents, timestamp authorities, and encryption standards that exceed many traditional e-signature solutions. He highlights how many professionals—especially in legal, healthcare, and finance—aren't aware of the risks they take when using non-secure PDFs for sensitive data like social security numbers or payment details.The episode also dives into the often-overlooked role of data ontologies in making government and enterprise forms interoperable. Waldo describes the complexity behind something as seemingly simple as a name or address field and how lack of standardization leads to inefficiencies and errors. By applying his years of ontology-building experience, Unicorn Forms aims to enable more intuitive, human-readable, and system-compatible data capture, with real-world use cases already in place—like improving film permitting processes for the Houston Film Commission.From a startup perspective, Waldo gets candid about fundraising challenges, the paradox of needing metrics to raise money and needing money to build metrics, and how early-stage companies must balance marketing, sales, and product development. He emphasizes the value of angel investors and local ecosystems like the ION and the Canon, while acknowledging the rising bar of investor expectations in today's post-2023 funding environment.Finally, Waldo shares his philosophy behind the Unicorn Forms brand—born as an April Fool's joke but grown into a conversation starter and signal for early adopters. With Party City swag, a pink logo, and a message that draws in the curious and the creative, Unicorn Forms is redefining legal tech not just through software, but through an intentional, approachable identity. As Waldo looks ahead, he sees opportunity in pairing strong data engineering with AI tools—not just to automate, but to make legal and regulatory processes smarter, faster, and more human-centered.Listen on mobile platforms: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube[Special Thanks to Legal Technology Hub for their sponsoring this episode.] Blue Sky: @geeklawblog.com @marlgebEmail: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: Jerry David DeCiccaTranscript

375 Practicing What You Preach It's important in life, whether you are running your own business or in your daily life, to practice what you preach. Not only do you avoid being seen as hypocritical but often the best person to give you advice is you. Consult with other coaches and counselors, ask the opinions of those you love and value, do whatever you need to in order to put yourself on the path to fulfillment and success. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Mike Trugman discuss practicing their own advice, as well as the importance of doing what you will say you will in order to put yourself in a better environment that will help you grow and thrive. Highlights How do you approach your own self learning and self development? What do you need to do more of to bring yourself more fulfillment? Are you in a place that lets you grow and thrive? Or do you need to find somewhere new to grow? Quotes “We think we're really sneaky, or really good at hiding these aspects of ourselves but there is no separate ‘I'm playful over here' ‘I'm not playful over here.' you are who you are.” “In some capacity we have helped people with public speaking, each of us.” “We've been conditioned for the most part in our society that to be successful you need to be relentlessly hard on yourself, and give up a lot of aspects of your life. And I love to work with people who are doing the courageous work of: What if I were really kind to myself? What could life look like if I was kinder and gentler to myself? And almost in a way, allowed my success to unfold, rather than something I need to grasp and control and attain. And if I lived that way, how would that make my personal relationships and the rest of my life better?” “You can have everything you want in your life and also feel good about yourself at the same time, and it doesn't have to be one or the other. Which is what I think a lot of us are taught and believe.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I would love for you to think about a time when something went sideways for you. I know we all have episodes that went a little sideways. But when was a time where things really went sideways for you and someone showed up to be your guide? It might've been in a negative way, it might've been somebody who did something so bad that you chose a different path in spite or to spite this person. But more than likely, you hit a point where things went so sideways that only somebody who loves you could help guide you out of that. Think about that moment, write it down, collect that story because as Mike said; it's not all about I did this and now I'm here, it's what obstacles did you overcome to get here? Because that's the story that inspires. And, as always, thank you for listening.

About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Mathew Kerbis is The Subscription Attorney who is on a mission to affordably serve latent legal market clients at scale via the subscription model and inspire attorneys to abandon the billable hour. He founded the law firm Subscription Attorney LLC. In this episode, Mathew shares how he's leveraging subscription pricing to disrupt the traditional billable hour model in the legal industry, making legal services more accessible.

Why you have to check out today's podcast: Discover how subscription-based pricing is disrupting traditional legal service models, making legal help more accessible and predictable. Learn how addressing the vast underserved legal market can create new opportunities for both clients and lawyers. Gain insights on how offering premium pricing options alongside accessible subscription plans can balance profitability with customer satisfaction. “Don't be afraid to experiment and to try something new. I experiment with my pricing to find what works. And so, you should experiment, too, and listen to Mark.” - Mathew Kerbis Topics Covered: 01:37 - How he was led into pricing 03:24 - Discussing the similarities between doctors transitioning to direct primary care (DPC) and lawyers adopting subscription-based pricing 05:05 - Explaining his flexible subscription model 08:48 - Sharing how instead of tracking time or focusing on cost accounting, he views his business costs as fixed expenses 11:03 - Optimizing efficiency and delivering value through his subscription model 14:04 - Arguing that while clients can access AI tools themselves, they can't match the expertise of a lawyer using them effectively 16:04 - Emphasizing that while AI can generate rapid insights, it requires human judgment to interpret results accurately 18:52 - What he meant when he said he drives prices down and discussing the unmet demand creating a significant opportunity despite price competition in the legal industry 21:53 - Targeting underserved clients while maintaining flexibility to serve both small businesses and larger clients 24:26 - Maintaining accessible pricing while using tiered subscription pricing to price higher 26:30 - Highlighting the importance of strategic pricing to remain competitive without risking client loss or revenue instability 27:30 - Mathew's best pricing advice Key Takeaways: "Ron Baker has educated me on how cost accounting isn't the way to think about what your actual costs are as a business owner." - Mathew Kerbis "What's great about a month-to-month subscription is, I could drop the client just like they could drop me. And the fact that they have the flexibility to leave at any time actually makes them not leave." - Mathew Kerbis “I still want to offer the accessible pricing, but I will have super premium pricing for the best customers that need it.” - Mathew Kerbis "I don't assign any dollar number to my time or the hours that I spend because things don't take as long as they used to. I was using AI when I launched my firm because I knew less time equals more money doing what I do when you're not billing by the hour." - Mathew Kerbis "Sure, you could use the legal AI tools that I'm using, but are you able to get the same output that a lawyer who is actually using the tool in the way in which it was designed can get better output?" - Mathew Kerbis "Judgment is really important. I don't think AI replaces subject matter experts, frankly ever." - Mathew Kerbis People/Resources Mentioned: Ron Baker: https://impactpricing.com/podcast/497-classic-trash-the-timesheet-exploring-opportunities-in-subscription-businesses-with-ronald-j-baker/ Calendly: https://calendly.com Adobe Photoshop: https://www.adobe.com/ ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com ClaudeAI: https://claude.ai Perplexity Pro: https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/faq/what-is-perplexity-proUber:https://www.uber.com Grandview Research: https://www.grandviewresearch.com Walmart: https://www.walmart.com Target: https://www.target.com Sam Walton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Walton Jeff Bezos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bezos Connect with Mathew Kerbis: Website: https://mathewkerbis.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerbisverse/ Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Très tôt, Aurélie se prend de passion pour l'école et les livres. Après le bac, elle s'oriente d'abord vers une prepa puis tente l'examen du CELSA qu'elle échoue avant de changer son fusil d'épaule et d'intégrer une école de commerce à Reims en tant que boursière. Arrivée dans la vie active, Aurélie intègre le géant Procter & Gamble ou elle restera 6 ans. Alors qu'elle vient d'avoir son premier fils à 29 ans, elle suit son mari muté à Milan et ressent alors un sentiment de renoncement à ses rêves. Sentiment qu'elle ne laissera pourtant pas s'installer poussée quelques mois auparavant par la tristesse de voir une cousine de son âge atteinte d'un cancer agressif...Aurélie fait alors un cauchemar récurrent qui se révèlera être une forme de prophétie lui montrant la voie vers le métier d'écrivain. Fraichement débarquée en Italie, Aurélie qui ne s'était jamais vraiment autorisée à écrire avant griffonne un carnet et se met à écrire son premier roman. Sans grande conviction et alors qu'elle s'apprête à commencer un nouveau job dans une multinationale, elle auto édite son livre le 13 Juillet 2014 sur Amazon. Succès immédiat. Elle se retrouve en quelques semaines propulsée dans le top des ventes avec ce premier livre: "Mémé dans les orties". Lors de sa parution en poche la maison d'édition se retrouve obligée de réimprimer 37 fois, du jamais vu ! Depuis, Aurélie a une écriture prolifique avec près d'un livre par an, en parallèle de l'arrivée de son deuxième enfant, avec à chaque fois des romans se classant dans les best sellers. Si Aurélie vit aujourd'hui de sa passion et de ses rêves depuis la Bretagne ou elle vit désormais, elle nous partage son chemin qui n'a pas été dénué d'obstacles et de remises en question: babyblues, burn out, syndrôme de l'impostrice ont également été des compagnons de route. Un épisode incroyable de fraicheur et de sincérité qui donne plus que jamais envie de croire que tout est possible à celles qui rêvent qui osent et qui ne renoncent pas à vivre une vie choisie.

Show Notes Jacob Bank, founder and CEO of Relay.App, talks about the rise of AI agents, a type of chatbot that can work on your behalf in the background. He explains that AI agents can perform tasks similar to junior-level employees or interns. How AI Agents Work An example of an AI agent working on your blog post is Chat GPT, which can automatically draft a blog post about a new recipe. The agent may ask for feedback and then publish it for you. This makes AI agents less of a thought prompt partner and more like an intern who takes on a mission on your behalf. There are two ways AI agents can take action on your behalf: making direct computer calls called API calls, or controlling your computer. API calls allow agents to make direct connections with tools like Salesforce, Calendly, Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar, and HubSpot. The second approach involves the AI controlling your computer, i.e., constantly looking at the screen and clicking buttons on it. Relay.App focuses on business productivity applications and automated calls, so it cannot log into your bank and perform actions on your behalf. However, a tool using the computer use capability would need two factor authentication and captcha. AI Agent Interaction: Solutions and Problems AI agents can interact with any website or tool that has an API, such as email browsers, CRM systems, and business productivity tools. There are three categories of AI agents: APIs, which perform tasks on a computer screen, AI in-built capabilities, and capabilities in reasoning. One problem AI agents need to solve is how they interact with their tools, such as reading and writing data from Salesforce, and how they can do this either via an API or by controlling the browser. Additionally, AI agents have the ability to extract information from PDFs, translate language information, turn text to speech, create videos automatically, and browse the web and do research. Three Models of AI Agents There are three models of AI agents to keep in mind: one class is a tool like relay.app, where the tool comes on your cloud or services, and interacts with things, while another class is a tool owned by the customer or freelancing agents. Models to consider when building AI agents: pre-built AI agents, which are commonly used in customer support tools, custom AI agents, and freelancing agents. These models are designed for specific vertical use cases and can be hosted on a platform or servers. AI agents can interact with various tools and platforms, including email marketing tools, CRM systems, and cloud-based versions of Microsoft tools. They can also perform tasks such as transcription, summary notes, and internet research. Customer Service Agents Customer service agents can be trained on a company's knowledge base. These agents can take various actions, such as replying to emails, triggering password reset emails, or issuing refunds. There are three main types of customer support agents: pre-built agents for specific use cases, custom built agents on easy-to-use platforms like lyndee.ai, relevance.ai, and Zapier, and engineers building their own agents using developer-focused frameworks. There are two options for building agents: one that interacts with APIs, and another that almost takes over your desktop. The fully browser-based approach is less reliable and predictable, but API-based approaches provide clearer guardrails for the agents. Common Use Cases for Relay.App The most common use cases for Relay.app include email handling, calendar management, customer interaction and relationship management, and marketing content creation. Email calendar management involves extracting information from emails, summarizing PDFs, forwarding them to others, drafting or applying to emails, labeling them, and archived emails. Personal productivity use cases involve managing emails, scheduling meetings, and reminding people to RSVP. Customer interaction and relationship management involves researching prospects, sending personalized emails, creating contracts, and reviewing support tickets. Marketing content creation involves creating life cycle marketing campaigns, blog posts, LinkedIn posts, and Twitter posts. These are the big three use cases for AI agents. However, there are also a wide range of businesses with different bespoke use cases, so they can build AI agents to do custom tasks. AI Agent Meeting Prep Jacob shares the step-by-step process to using the AI agent. The agent will help prepare for meetings by providing information about the person they are about to meet. The next step is to add a trigger, which is what happens in the outside world that causes the agent to wake up and start working on our behalf. The trigger can be based on an event in an application or on a scheduled basis. In this case, the trigger will be when an event is upcoming in Google Calendar. The agent will then be able to check if any changes in the person's calendar are made and reschedule the meeting. The AI agent will then be able to look at all the meetings that the person has tomorrow, and the time picker will show that the trigger will happen daily at 5pm. Using AI Agents to Find Events Jacob introduces a new step in Google Calendar that allows users to find events and filter them based on criteria. The step is set up to find all events that match the specified criteria, such as start time coming after today or before today plus two. If no events are found, the system can either notify the user or continue with the day without meetings. The next step is to use an iterator to iterate over the list of events found in the previous step. The output of one step can be used as input for the next step, as it often references previous information. In this case, the list of events is the list of events found in the previous step. Using AI Judgement To use AI judgement, Jacob adds a step to an AI step, selecting Custom Prompt. This prompts the AI to provide detailed instructions and insert relevant data for context. For example, if everyone has responded to a meeting, Jacob sends an email stating "looking forward to seeing you tomorrow" and if not, an email asking if the meeting still works for everyone. A path is created, which allows the user to decide whether to proceed with the AI's task. The first branch of the path is everyone replied, where the user can choose which rules determine whether to go down that path. In this case, the user selects "everybody replied," which will send an email to the list of guests, stating "looking forward to seeing you tomorrow." The email can be written manually or sent by the user. AI Agents' Primary Target Audience The primary target audience is non-technical individuals who have never written code or used code tools. The goal is to make the product easy for everyone to use. The company offers a partner program with automation and AI experts and agencies to help businesses set up workflows or advise on AI usage. Jacob also provides YouTube tutorials that can be helpful for creating workflows. Once people watch tutorials and follow them, they can understand the process at each step. The hope is that everyone can create their own workflows without needing a partner. However, complex business needs may require assistance.The goal is to make the product accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical skills. The company also offers a partner program with automation and AI experts to help businesses set up workflows and advise on AI usage. Relay.App Pricing The pricing of the tool is a standard self-serve freemium model, with subscriptions based on how much users use the product. The free tier offers 200 steps and 500 AI credits, while the first paid tier is $9 a month, which includes more steps and AI credits. The team tier starts at $59 a month for companies using it with multiple people. As users use the tool more, it needs more steps and AI reasoning. Bundles of credits are available on top of the subscriptions.The typical cost for a typical business is between $100 and $200 a month. However, if users are getting value from the product, they will pay $100 to $200 a month. Finding Talent with Relay.App On the Relay.App website, which features a gallery of common use cases, such as competitive research, pre-meeting dossiers, and email extracting. The app also includes a human-in-the-loop step where users can ask for help in identifying the right profile based on their information. This human-led approach can help AI agents make more informed decisions and ensure the effectiveness of their work. The app also includes a human-in-the-loop step, allowing users to identify the most suitable profile based on their information.
