WEBVTT
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:06.639
All right, everybody.
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:10.160
Welcome back, South by Southwest live AI Profit Machine House.
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:12.640
My name's Chris Weiser here with a special guest.
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:14.720
We got Trent Knox here from Austin, Texas.
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:15.519
What's up, buddy?
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:16.160
Doing well.
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:17.839
It's a great event so far, man.
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:18.559
You brought out people.
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:19.120
Pretty cool.
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:20.640
Yeah, we got to bring in the heat tonight.
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:21.359
It's pretty exciting.
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:22.960
We got Noah Hunting here this afternoon.
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:24.079
We got Chingy here.
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.280
You just did a little networking out there on the front on the front desk.
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:28.800
I came in and out, but I caught it.
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:29.440
Yeah, I like it.
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:29.920
I like it.
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.120
So tell us about yourself.
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.439
We got a whole crowd here watching tonight.
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:34.799
Tell us about yourself.
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.960
Yeah, so people probably know me as a content producer.
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:45.439
I produce content for you know different people in small business, podcasts, live streams, webinars.
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.880
I'm interested in the event because I became a builder.
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.439
I work with a lot of people on lovable, replit, you know, these platforms.
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.119
And built my biggest community is in the gaming and esports space.
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:01.840
And so we built on we built on lovable and work with Annie Gravity and Claude Coat and those things.
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:02.399
Okay.
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.359
So what do you see from your standpoint?
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.560
Where how is AI changing your side of things?
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.040
Like obviously you're talking about lovable and replit and some of the some of the baseline builder platforms.
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:13.280
Yeah.
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.280
But what does it look like from your standpoint?
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.400
How is this making you more profitable today?
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.040
Yeah, in terms of marketing side, like the the biggest brand we work with is Opus.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.599
Opus does most of like the content repurposing.
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:27.680
Clips are the main thing.
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.959
I mean, if you think about Twitch or Kik or any YouTube or whatever, like the big thing that drives the most traffic is going to be those clips.
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.239
So we do a lot of clipping, especially for podcasts and live streamers.
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:38.640
Yeah.
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:39.040
Yeah.
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.920
So from your standpoint, you talk about clipping, you talk about profitability, you talk about growth.
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.840
How does that how does all the AI side does it make you more efficient?
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:48.719
Does it make you better?
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.599
Like looking at from a you know, and and what's your role in your company?
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:52.239
Just so I'm clear.
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:53.599
So I'm the operator.
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.359
I remember you are the guy.
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:56.959
I knew that, but I just want to make sure everybody knows.
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:57.359
Yeah, yeah.
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.840
So from your standpoint, how does it make you more efficient?
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.159
How does it help you make your team more efficient?
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:11.039
Well, so I was actually talking to someone else at the event earlier, and like I feel like in the beginning of the year, it's very much personal brand driven.
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.400
So like a lot of it right now is my team is focused on me.
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:14.639
Yeah.
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:26.719
And then secondly, like once that we get over the like, oh, New Year's resolutions or whatever, then people start thinking about business and and like that's a really that's actually a really good point about the new year and that kind of stuff.
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.280
Yeah, that people start to focus on themselves much more than like their operations or what they're doing.
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.639
And so then when it comes back around, then they start thinking about oh, what can I do with my e-commerce brand?
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.280
What can I do with you know, my new venture or whatever have you?
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:46.560
And so, but to more directly answer your question, I think AI is a time reducer.
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:53.840
So the the it'll speed you faster to the new copywriting you have to do on your website or the clips that you have to create.
00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:04.159
It's gonna reduce the amount of time that you have to create, new forms of content or new packaging or yeah, the leverageability factor that scale, the leverageability and scale factor helps you next level.
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:05.919
How many people do you have in your team right now?
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.800
Well, it depends on what you talk about, like partners and everything like that.
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:10.400
So let's just say full-time staff.
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:11.599
Let's just say full-time staff.
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:12.319
Three.
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:12.639
Okay.
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.560
So, you know, it makes you, and and what is what does part-time staff look like?
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.319
Oh, so you know, we work with people in India, we work with people.
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:33.599
In that regard, but in terms of like more like part-time, full-time, we have somebody in A AI that's based in Chattanooga, and then we also have somebody who's in in India.
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:42.960
So does that from your standpoint as a leader, and this is where I was going with that question, does it help you like massively increase their workload and make them more efficient from your standpoint?
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:49.759
Or is it from your standpoint, are you trying to potentially not necessarily replace them?
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:56.960
And and I I'm really trying to take people away from the replace people standpoint to how do we make them more efficient and better, right?
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:57.759
Yeah, for sure.
00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.199
Well, so there's a couple things.
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.680
One, they are one of them is not as AI powered as the other.
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.919
The one's much more of an entrepreneur, you know, very much motivated to do his own things.
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:09.199
So that's really great.
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:16.879
But actually, I was like, as I was walking up here, I heard somebody say something like, Agentic is not like, oh, who's using agentic?
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.639
You know, and that blows my mind.
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.040
That's almost kind of comical if you really think about it.
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.360
Yeah, and I think a I think it's actually probably a lot true right now.
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:37.040
Yeah, but as manis, as these open claws and things like that evolve, there will be more opportunity to replace your virtual assistants and your I think to me, like the agentic is a is a joke mindset.
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.199
It's kind of like I understand what you're saying.
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.680
It's not perfect right now, but how early are we?
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.079
Very we're so insanely early, right?
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:52.879
Like it's so insanely early that maybe right now it's not perfect, but it's definitely coming and we're getting to the point where but agentic is the future, yeah, right?
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.040
I mean it is, yeah, absolutely.
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:01.680
So I think from you know, from my standpoint, it's looking at it like you have to be a forward-thinking leader.
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.240
It sounds like your mindset is around that as well.
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.720
Set a crazy squirrel going nuts here.
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:08.079
Well, is it a black squirrel?
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:09.360
Because we we have black squirrel.
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:10.319
Is it a brown squirrel?
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:11.199
Oh, it's a brown squirrel.
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:12.879
Live video, folks.
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.560
So from from that standpoint, where's your head around the AI first leader mindset?
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:20.800
Is that something like you're sounds like you're fully embracing that?
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:22.959
Well, I just surround myself with builders.
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.480
I think right now you have to.
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:25.040
Yeah, I think.
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:40.800
But I'm in Discord communities, I'm in, you know, uh school groups, these things, just looking for the next person who's building something that's gonna you know influence me or motivate me, yeah, or make me, you know, uh a much more of a like a predator in a video space over here.
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:40.959
Yeah.
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:42.639
Uh, you know, producer, editor.
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:48.639
That's why I saw my Jeff over here hanging out, sitting here all day just working with us, waiting, waiting for shit to happen.
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:49.439
Yeah.
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.040
So as we kind of wrap up here, we got short little bursts here, little episodes, a little shorts here at South by.
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.519
We're live at AI Profit Machine House here at South by Southwest 2026.
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:07.839
What's a couple tips you can give to somebody that is maybe a smaller entrepreneur or a new entrepreneur, or maybe even a legacy seasoned entrepreneur.
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:09.680
How do we use AI and believe it?
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.160
Well, I would just say, you know, I give credit to your event.
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.199
I've met people at all different, you know, stages right now.
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.079
I I think when I bring up agentic, not everybody's really talking about it.
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:19.839
They don't get it yet, they don't really get it.
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:38.639
But I think people who are maybe entrepreneurs or working in their organization, or even if they're entrepreneurs, getting started with and I almost say this like people who have like a fear or not a fear, but an aversion to paying for a subscription or subscription fatigue, just figure it out.
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:49.600
Like I just yeah, you have to buy into these programs because there are features there that are going to organize the way that you do your work, and they're only subscription right now.
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:54.480
You can build them yourself, you know, with open source models and whatnot, but it's really complicated.
00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:09.360
So I would say to get started, you just need to have a relationship with a chat, whether it's OpenAI or Claude or it's Grok or whatever it is, just to start to establish that relationship on a commercial level.
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:09.600
Yeah.
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:14.480
If you're an entrepreneur or you're an entrepreneur, a lot of people are just using it as consumers right now.
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.680
Well, and so many people are just using it as a chat, almost a chat bot, right?
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:17.920
Exactly.
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:18.959
So it's kind of like taking this off.
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:22.399
How many of your girlfriends do you have?
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:28.399
So I think you know, a good lesson for everybody, take it past the chat bot stage.
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:28.639
Yeah.
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:34.480
You're maybe not agentic yet, which you know, for the most part, an agentic mindset is think of an employee.
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.519
Could you hand over something to an agent or to an AI bot and just let them work?
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:39.920
Yep.
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.959
You really can't yet, maybe, but I think certain things are getting there.
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:44.240
You might have to buy an AP.
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:44.639
100%.
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:45.360
100%.
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.399
But as we go, I think that's a really good advice.
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.319
So all right, Trent, good to see you, buddy.
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:55.120
Great to meet great chat conversation and AI Profit Machine House here at South by Southwest Live.
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:55.920
We'll see you guys soon.
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:05.680
Take care of the
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:06.639
All right, everybody.
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:10.160

Pretty cool.
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:20.640
Yeah, we got to bring in the heat tonight.
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:21.359
It's pretty exciting.
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:22.960
We got Noah Hunting here this afternoon.
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:24.079
We got Chingy here.
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.280
You just did a little networking out there on the front on the front desk.
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:28.800
I came in and out, but I caught it.
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:29.440
Yeah, I like it.
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:29.920
I like it.
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.120
So tell us about yourself.
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.439
We got a whole crowd here watching tonight.
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:34.799
Tell us about yourself.
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.960
Yeah, so people probably know me as a content producer.
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:45.439
I produce content for you know different people in small business, podcasts, live streams, webinars.
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.880
I'm interested in the event because I became a builder.
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.439
I work with a lot of people on lovable, replit, you know, these platforms.
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.119
And built my biggest community is in the gaming and esports space.
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:01.840
And so we built on we built on lovable and work with Annie Gravity and Claude Coat and those things.
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:02.399
Okay.
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.359
So what do you see from your standpoint?
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.560
Where how is AI changing your side of things?
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.040
Like obviously you're talking about lovable and replit and some of the some of the baseline builder platforms.
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:13.280
Yeah.
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.280
But what does it look like from your standpoint?
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.400
How is this making you more profitable today?
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.040
Yeah, in terms of marketing side, like the the biggest brand we work with is Opus.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.599
Opus does most of like the content repurposing.
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:27.680
Clips are the main thing.
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.959
I mean, if you think about Twitch or Kik or any YouTube or whatever, like the big thing that drives the most traffic is going to be those clips.
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.239
So we do a lot of clipping, especially for podcasts and live streamers.
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:38.640
Yeah.
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:39.040
Yeah.
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.920
So from your standpoint, you talk about clipping, you talk about profitability, you talk about growth.
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.840
How does that how does all the AI side does it make you more efficient?
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:48.719
Does it make you better?
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.599
Like looking at from a you know, and and what's your role in your company?
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:52.239
Just so I'm clear.
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:53.599
So I'm the operator.
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.359
I remember you are the guy.
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:56.959
I knew that, but I just want to make sure everybody knows.
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:57.359
Yeah, yeah.
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.840
So from your standpoint, how does it make you more efficient?
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.159
How does it help you make your team more efficient?
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:11.039
Well, so I was actually talking to someone else at the event earlier, and like I feel like in the beginning of the year, it's very much personal brand driven.
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.400
So like a lot of it right now is my team is focused on me.
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:14.639
Yeah.
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:26.719
And then secondly, like once that we get over the like, oh, New Year's resolutions or whatever, then people start thinking about business and and like that's a really that's actually a really good point about the new year and that kind of stuff.
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.280
Yeah, that people start to focus on themselves much more than like their operations or what they're doing.
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.639
And so then when it comes back around, then they start thinking about oh, what can I do with my e-commerce brand?
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.280
What can I do with you know, my new venture or whatever have you?
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:46.560
And so, but to more directly answer your question, I think AI is a time reducer.
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:53.840
So the the it'll speed you faster to the new copywriting you have to do on your website or the clips that you have to create.
00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:04.159
It's gonna reduce the amount of time that you have to create, new forms of content or new packaging or yeah, the leverageability factor that scale, the leverageability and scale factor helps you next level.
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:05.919
How many people do you have in your team right now?
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.800
Well, it depends on what you talk about, like partners and everything like that.
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:10.400
So let's just say full-time staff.
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:11.599
Let's just say full-time staff.
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:12.319
Three.
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:12.639
Okay.
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.560
So, you know, it makes you, and and what is what does part-time staff look like?
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.319
Oh, so you know, we work with people in India, we work with people.
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:33.599
In that regard, but in terms of like more like part-time, full-time, we have somebody in A AI that's based in Chattanooga, and then we also have somebody who's in in India.
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:42.960
So does that from your standpoint as a leader, and this is where I was going with that question, does it help you like massively increase their workload and make them more efficient from your standpoint?
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:49.759
Or is it from your standpoint, are you trying to potentially not necessarily replace them?
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:56.960
And and I I'm really trying to take people away from the replace people standpoint to how do we make them more efficient and better, right?
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:57.759
Yeah, for sure.
00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.199
Well, so there's a couple things.
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.680
One, they are one of them is not as AI powered as the other.
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.919
The one's much more of an entrepreneur, you know, very much motivated to do his own things.
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:09.199
So that's really great.
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:16.879
But actually, I was like, as I was walking up here, I heard somebody say something like, Agentic is not like, oh, who's using agentic?
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.639
You know, and that blows my mind.
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.040
That's almost kind of comical if you really think about it.
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.360
Yeah, and I think a I think it's actually probably a lot true right now.
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:37.040
Yeah, but as manis, as these open claws and things like that evolve, there will be more opportunity to replace your virtual assistants and your I think to me, like the agentic is a is a joke mindset.
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.199
It's kind of like I understand what you're saying.
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.680
It's not perfect right now, but how early are we?
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.079
Very we're so insanely early, right?
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:52.879
Like it's so insanely early that maybe right now it's not perfect, but it's definitely coming and we're getting to the point where but agentic is the future, yeah, right?
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.040
I mean it is, yeah, absolutely.
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:01.680
So I think from you know, from my standpoint, it's looking at it like you have to be a forward-thinking leader.
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.240
It sounds like your mindset is around that as well.
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.720
Set a crazy squirrel going nuts here.
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:08.079
Well, is it a black squirrel?
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:09.360
Because we we have black squirrel.
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:10.319
Is it a brown squirrel?
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:11.199
Oh, it's a brown squirrel.
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:12.879
Live video, folks.
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.560
So from from that standpoint, where's your head around the AI first leader mindset?
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:20.800
Is that something like you're sounds like you're fully embracing that?
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:22.959
Well, I just surround myself with builders.
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.480
I think right now you have to.
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:25.040
Yeah, I think.
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:40.800
But I'm in Discord communities, I'm in, you know, uh school groups, these things, just looking for the next person who's building something that's gonna you know influence me or motivate me, yeah, or make me, you know, uh a much more of a like a predator in a video space over here.
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:40.959
Yeah.
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:42.639
Uh, you know, producer, editor.
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:48.639
That's why I saw my Jeff over here hanging out, sitting here all day just working with us, waiting, waiting for shit to happen.
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:49.439
Yeah.
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.040
So as we kind of wrap up here, we got short little bursts here, little episodes, a little shorts here at South by.
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.519
We're live at AI Profit Machine House here at South by Southwest 2026.
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:07.839
What's a couple tips you can give to somebody that is maybe a smaller entrepreneur or a new entrepreneur, or maybe even a legacy seasoned entrepreneur.
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:09.680
How do we use AI and believe it?
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.160
Well, I would just say, you know, I give credit to your event.
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.199
I've met people at all different, you know, stages right now.
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.079
I I think when I bring up agentic, not everybody's really talking about it.
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:19.839
They don't get it yet, they don't really get it.
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:38.639
But I think people who are maybe entrepreneurs or working in their organization, or even if they're entrepreneurs, getting started with and I almost say this like people who have like a fear or not a fear, but an aversion to paying for a subscription or subscription fatigue, just figure it out.
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:49.600
Like I just yeah, you have to buy into these programs because there are features there that are going to organize the way that you do your work, and they're only subscription right now.
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:54.480
You can build them yourself, you know, with open source models and whatnot, but it's really complicated.
00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:09.360
So I would say to get started, you just need to have a relationship with a chat, whether it's OpenAI or Claude or it's Grok or whatever it is, just to start to establish that relationship on a commercial level.
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:09.600
Yeah.
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:14.480
If you're an entrepreneur or you're an entrepreneur, a lot of people are just using it as consumers right now.
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.680
Well, and so many people are just using it as a chat, almost a chat bot, right?
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:17.920
Exactly.
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:18.959
So it's kind of like taking this off.
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:22.399
How many of your girlfriends do you have?
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:28.399
So I think you know, a good lesson for everybody, take it past the chat bot stage.
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:28.639
Yeah.
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:34.480
You're maybe not agentic yet, which you know, for the most part, an agentic mindset is think of an employee.
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.519
Could you hand over something to an agent or to an AI bot and just let them work?
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:39.920
Yep.
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.959
You really can't yet, maybe, but I think certain things are getting there.
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:44.240
You might have to buy an AP.
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:44.639
100%.
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:45.360
100%.
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.399
But as we go, I think that's a really good advice.
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.319
So all right, Trent, good to see you, buddy.
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:55.120
Great to meet great chat conversation and AI Profit Machine House here at South by Southwest Live.
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:55.920
We'll see you guys soon.
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:05.680
Take care of the
