Discover the next evolution of artificial intelligence with the rise of A.I. agents in this episode. From building billion-dollar brands to pioneering the world of A.I. agents, meet Maddie Bell.  Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, Maddie is the CEO and Founder of Scheduler AI, a patented, fully autonomous A.I. agent that instantly connects businesses with their best prospects and customers. Maddie has over a decade of experience leading organizations in designing, developing, and launching breakthrough innovations at scale. She has been responsible for billion-dollar businesses, launched award-winning advertising campaigns, earned P&G’s “Lifetime Achievement Award” in digital innovation, and actively developed patented A.I. technology. While juggling her thriving career and building her family with three young daughters, Maddie saw an opportunity for A.I. to solve a universal pain point — the time-consuming and revenue-leaking task of scheduling meetings. She co-founded Scheduler AI with her husband to create an A.I.-powered assistant that engages clients when they're most interested, coordinates meetings in seconds, and ensures they stay on the calendar. Today, you'll hear how Maddie thinks about the different waves of A.I. we're experiencing, from the initial ChatGPT moment to the current phase of A.I. integration into existing software and the upcoming rise of A.I. agents. We also discuss the implications and opportunities of this technology, how to evaluate A.I. tools, how to automate processes and grow businesses, and the importance of responsible A.I. development. Why will buying technology tools will feel a lot more like hiring people in the future? Listen in to find out!
