How has the generative artificial intelligence (AI) market evolved, and where is it heading? We discuss with Rob May, an AI entrepreneur and an angel investor in early stage AI companies.

Rob May, Serial entrepreneur and CTO and Cofounder of Dianthus joins the aSaaSins Podcast to discuss:- His decision to start a company that wasn't SaaS first, and how Rob and his team are disrupting eCommerce. - The evolution of AI and automation in the workplace, and what's missing for the space to really take off.- Industries that are ripe for disruption through practical applications of automation, and the three criteria that make them candidates to target.

Welcome back to Members of the Chamber! We have a brand new season ready for you, all about family business. On this episode,  we're sitting down with Rob May from Sounds Good Smart Homes to learn more about his journey of starting a family business, and the process of getting it ready to pass down to his children one day. There is a LOT of good advice packed into this episode, so be sure to listen!

I feel like this interview was long overdue, as I've know Rob for a long time. I probably first met him at one of the tech events in Boston… maybe Web Innovators Group or something like that. It was during a resurgence of the tech industry in that region where a new crop of entrepreneurs were building companies and Rob's company, Backupify, was one of the hot companies in the Boston tech scene. Backupify raised funding from top investors like First Round Capital, Avalon Ventures, General Catalyst, Lowercase Capital and top angel investors like Dharmesh Shah, Chris Sacca, and Jason Calacanis. It was a big deal because he chose to build his company in Boston instead of Silicon Valley or NYC, which helped him make a splash coming from Kentucky. Since having a successful exit with Backupify, Rob has gone on to make a major impact to not only the Boston tech scene, but to the tech industry at large as both an entrepreneur and investor. His latest company is called Dianthus, the world's only AI-first eCommerce company which is acquiring small to medium sized brands and helping them grow faster with a common AI platform that includes not just new technologies, but new AI-centric workflows, processes, and ways of working. The company just announced $11.5M in seed funding led by PJC, Underscore, and Jason Calacanis. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * The use of AI and the areas that Rob finds the most interesting in terms of use cases. * Rob's early professional career out of school and a look at how he got into blogging in the early days, including how it has helped him as an entrepreneur. * The story of Backupify, a backup cloud company that was started in 2008 for Salesforce and Google Apps and was acquired by Datto. * His experience as an investor - first as an angel, which includes some amazing advice on how to get started as an angel investor and then his experience as a Venture Partner at PJC. * A deep dive into the creation of his latest company, Dianthus and how they are leveraging AI as a competitive advantage. * Advice for hiring when building out your company. * And so much more.

In 2021, 98% of successful cyber attacks were caused by social engineering. At the same time, social engineering threats also rose by an astounding 270% in 2021. This means that social engineering is one of the biggest threats to cybersecurity and one of the hardest to combat. But first off, what exactly is social engineering and why is it so successful? What are the most successful social engineering tactics and what can we expect to see in the near future? With social engineering being so prolific, what are the steps we can take to protect ourselves, our families and our businesses from falling victim to these attacks? For this episode, we're joined by Marilise de Villiers Basson, the founder & CEO of ROAR! and cyber gurus Rob May and Scott Schober to answer these questions and discuss everything social engineering, from the good to the bad, and show you how we can shield ourselves from the social engineering onslaught.

Rob May is a general partner at PJC, a leading venture capital firm. He was previously CEO of Talla, a platform for AI and automation, as well as co-founder and CEO of Backupify. Rob is an angel investor who has invested in numerous companies, and author of InsideAI which is said to be one of the most widely-read AI newsletters on the planet. In this episode, Rob and I discuss AI from a VC perspective. We look into the current state of AI, service as a software, and what Rob looks for in his startup investments and portfolio companies. We also investigate why so many companies are struggling to push their AI projects forward to completion, and how this can be improved. Finally, we outline some important things that founders can do to make products based on machine intelligence (machine learning) attractive to investors. In our chat, we covered: The emergence of service as a software, which can be understood as a logical extension of “software eating the world” and the 2 hard things to get right (Yes, you read it correctly and Rob will explain what this new SAAS acronym means!) ! How automation can enable workers to complete tasks more efficiently and focus on bigger problems machines aren’t as good at solving Why AI will become ubiquitous in business—but not for 10-15 years Rob’s Predict, Automate, and Classify (PAC) framework for deploying AI for business value, and how it can help achieve maximum economic impact Economic and societal considerations that people should be thinking about when developing AI - and what we aren’t ready for yet as a society Dealing with biases and stereotypes in data, and the ethical issues they can create when training models How using synthetic data in certain situations can improve AI models and facilitate usage of the technology Concepts product managers of AI and ML solutions should be thinking about Training, UX and classification issues when designing experiences around AI The importance of model-market fit. In other words, whether a model satisfies a market demand, and whether it will actually make a difference after being deployed.

Rob May is a general partner at PJC, a leading venture capital firm. He was previously CEO of Talla, a platform for AI and automation, as well as co-founder and CEO of Backupify. Rob is an angel investor who has invested in numerous companies, and author of InsideAI which is said to be one of the most widely-read AI newsletters on the planet. In this episode, Rob and I discuss AI from a VC perspective. We look into the current state of AI, service as a software, and what Rob looks for in his startup investments and portfolio companies. We also investigate why so many companies are struggling to push their AI projects forward to completion, and how this can be improved. Finally, we outline some important things that founders can do to make products based on machine intelligence (machine learning) attractive to investors. In our chat, we covered: The emergence of service as a software, which can be understood as a logical extension of “software eating the world” and the 2 hard things to get right (Yes, you read it correctly and Rob will explain what this new SAAS acronym means!) ! How automation can enable workers to complete tasks more efficiently and focus on bigger problems machines aren’t as good at solving Why AI will become ubiquitous in business—but not for 10-15 years Rob’s Predict, Automate, and Classify (PAC) framework for deploying AI for business value, and how it can help achieve maximum economic impact Economic and societal considerations that people should be thinking about when developing AI – and what we aren’t ready for yet as a society Dealing with biases and stereotypes in data, and the ethical issues they can create when training models How using synthetic data in certain situations can improve AI models and facilitate usage of the technology Concepts product managers of AI and ML solutions should be thinking about Training, UX and classification issues when designing experiences around AI The importance of model-market fit. In other words, whether a model satisfies a market demand, and whether it will actually make a difference after being deployed.

This podcast interview focuses on product innovation around customer support that has the power to 10x your ticket response times. My guest is Rob May, Co-founder and CEO of Talla.Rob has a background in engineering, business development, and management and holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a MBA from the University of Kentucky.In October 2008, he co-founded and became CEO of Backupify which provided a secure second copy of cloud data.

In addition, Talla is launching a decentralised bot registration and marketplace platform, BotChain.When I learned about the positive impact Talla’s has on support organizations I instantly invited Rob for my podcast. We explore his views on what’s broken in market for ‘search’ and how that’s actually leading to unwanted behavior. We also address his learnings on technology adoption, and why this is not only of fundamental importance to increased user productivity, but also to keep your solutions always in sync with the reality of the business.Here are some of his quotes:Talla is in the customer support automation space. And what we do is we take your, not just your ticketing data, but your actual support content, we ingest it and understand it.The biggest thing that we see in our customers, and the reason that they do this is, you know, hiring is a is a challenge right now, at least, you know, here in the US, the labor market is pretty tight. And so we've sold to a lot of very high growth tech companies who need to hire 150 support reps this year, and they just can't.So they're looking for ways for how they make their existing support reps more productive. And we know that, you know, with Talla that can be anywhere from sort of 20 to 60% productivity increased, depending on the nature of their business.During this interview, you will learn three things:How you can kill two birds with one stone by adopting a UX/UI driven way of thinking about Machine LearningWhy succeeding with AI is not so much about segmenting the market by traditional demographics but more one of addressing the right mindset.How to make solid progress by following a ‘test and invest’ approach.

The abbreviation A.I. along with its phrase “artificial intelligence” for many invokes fantasies of sentient overlord robots everywhere or benevolent machine assistants or sexy operating systems. It can be difficult to separate hype from reality. Newsfeed cycles don’t help either. Stories circulate with titillating headlines as to what A.I. has just done without context as to where it's failed. Regardless we should pay attention, because the ultimate goal of A.I. is to not only make machines intelligent - but as intelligent as humans. Hence my guest, Rob May. Rob is the CEO and Co-founder of Talla, a Boston-based company offering AI-Powered automation for service and support Teams. He is an angel investor in 50 A.I. companies and the Managing Director at Half Court Ventures. Rob also writes InsideAI, the world's most popular email newsletter on artificial intelligence.

As a supporter of young people, what is STEM and why is it important? [02:42] One of the challenges we hear about all the time is that there aren't enough qualified candidates for high tech jobs, such as in the field of Cybersecurity. What's your opinion on what should be done to address this challenge? [05:21] Rob May, Human Firewall - All users need to be trained, as they are all considered perpetrators and vulnerabilities, with regards to Cybersecurity. [09:00] Hacks and data breaches are happening at an alarming rate. According to Statista, as of mid-2018, there were 668 data breaches, exposing 22.41 million records of data! How can we leverage emerging technologies, such as AI, Machine Learning, and Cloud in order to bolster our data security? [09:45] Traditional Cybersecurity is about perimeter and endpoint control. We need next-generation tools that have application visibility. [11:40] SIM - Security Information Module - provides event monitoring. [20:17] Cybersecurity - it's a war of machines!

Every IT worker, every technology worker, needs to be involved with protecting and defending apps, data, devices, infrastructure and people.

Billy's out this week, but guesting in his absence is friend of the show and fellow podcaster Rob May! As a recent graduate of Legend University (home to the famed LU Leper Gnomes; go team!), Rob has come to Hearthaholics flush with ladder-centric wisdom. So much wisdom, in fact, that the crew manages to go an hour and a half without even realizing it! Conversation and information abounds, however, so anyone with an interest in taking their ranked play to the next level should hopefully enjoy the hearty discussion as much as we did. ReferencesThe Angry Chicken Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TACPodcast/Coradin Deck (Edit: -1 Loatheb, -1 Competitive Spirit; +1 Sludge Belcher, +1 Consecration): www.vicioushs.cards/coradin Rob's Stat Sheets: Link to my Win streaks: http://imgur.com/3kVcEeARob's S17 Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1snZOn5RwqwC3znDz9aWDS-KTyyzVR5AqG-WhOF3Mvqc/edit#gid=353173929MAYZ Podcast:iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mayz-podcast/id1031092868?mt=2 RSS: http://feeds.feedburner.com/themayzpodcast Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=71636&refid=stpr Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themayzpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/MAYZ_PodcastVelen’s Chosen:RSS: http://feeds.feedburner.com/velenschosenpodcast iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/velens-chosen-podcast/id1037879338 Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=73044&refid=stpr Facebook: www.facebook.com/velenschosenpodcast Twitter: www.twitter.com/VelensPodcastWe had fun making this episode and hope you enjoy it!
