It's here! The culmination of our series on agents, and if you've ever wondered how to make the most of the AI agents in your business (without a huge budget or a team of developers), this is the episode for you.
This week on Early Adoptr, we are joined by Rob Webster, who has spent 25 years working at the intersection of data, machine learning, and marketing, including working on data and technology for brands like Dell, Tesco, and Coca-Cola. He now runs Tau Marketing Solutions, where he helps businesses adopt AI and build agents to solve real marketing problems. In this episode he joins Jess and Kyle and shares everything he has learned about making agents that actually work. From the \"Fisher Price Agent\" to building a daily action plan, the four components every working agent needs and why most agents fail, this episode is a goldmine of tips from years of experience.
We also cover a major deal between SpaceX and Cursor, and what it tells us about where the real competition in AI is playing out right now.
