The Future of Your Business Includes AI Agents—And They’re Not as Complicated as You Think
In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and AI-savvy entrepreneur, Rick Mulready, to talk about something that's been blowing my mind lately: AI agents.
You’ve heard about ChatGPT and maybe even dabbled in CustomGPTs, but AI agents are next level. And the best part is you don’t need to be super techie to start using them in your business.
Rick breaks it all down in the most approachable way—from what AI agents actually are, to how you can start using them today to save time, improve workflows, and scale with less stress. Whether you're a solopreneur juggling all the things or you already have a team, this episode will shift the way you think about efficiency and growth.
I’ll admit, I came into this conversation as a curious beginner (Rick may or may not have called me “basic” in our last AI convo!), but I walked away with a clear understanding of how AI agents can transform not just how I work, but also how I lead.
HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1️⃣ AI Agents Aren’t Just Fancy Chatbots—They Can Do the Work for You – AI agents don’t just complete one task. You can give them goals, set parameters, and they’ll take action—like researching, writing, posting, and even responding—without you lifting a finger (after you’ve trained them, of course).
2️⃣ Start Small, But Start Now – You won’t nail it on the first try (and that’s okay!). Rick explains how to begin with simple tasks like social media posts or inbox filtering so you can build confidence and see results fast.
3️⃣ The Right Tool + The Right Workflow = Magic – Tools like Relay.app make it simple (yes, simple) to build workflows and integrate AI agents into your business. And when you pair that with ChatGPT and clear context, you’ve got a powerful team member working 24/7.
