I'd love to join Agents of Tech to talk about practical, human centered AI in the enterprise. As CTO of SPR, I split my time between executive strategy and hands on work with emerging tech, helping organizations design and build modern platforms and AI solutions. Lately I've been speaking about what I call the invisible hand of AI. It's the idea that the real impact of this technology isn't about replacing people, but about giving them more reach and more capability. I believe leaders need to hear that right now, especially as they work through the hype and try to figure out what actually creates value. I've also been getting a lot of interest from journalists and have been quoted often on AI and emerging tech. I stay active on LinkedIn where I post regular videos for business and tech audiences, which has helped me build a strong conversation around how AI is changing work. If you're looking for a high-energy guest who can bridge executive insight, real world engineering, and a human forward view of where AI is headed, I'd be excited to join you on the show.
Hi Agents of Tech team, I saw your call for virtual guests and I think Crover would be a really fun fit for the show, partly because most people have never seen anything like this before. Crover is the first and only robot built to move through bulk solids and powders, on the surface and below it. Think sand dunes, grain, mineral bulks, chemical powders, even loose Martian terrain. It is basically a drone, but for underground movement inside granular materials, where rovers and wheeled robots cannot really go. The story started with a real scientific discovery. Crover’s founder and CEO Dr Lorenzo Conti discovered what is now called the Crover Effect while completing his PhD work at the University of Edinburgh, and that discovery became the first practical method for locomotion in granular media. It is the coupling between rotation and translation that lets a device “swim” through grain, sand, or powders. What I think would land well with your audience is that this is not “a better robot for a known job.” It is a new category of unmanned system that opens up places we have not been able to access with robotics before. And yes, the first big application has been grain storage, but it is now starting to be applied in the mineral industry as well and the underlying breakthrough is the bigger story. If you are open to it, I would be happy to line up Dr Lorenzo Conti for a virtual recording, along with Sarah Ostberg. Lorenzo is a fantastic storyteller when it comes to the “how did this even become possible” question and the physics behind it. Sarah brings a strong perspective on what it takes to turn a brand new category of technology into something that actually works outside the lab. Together, they can dig into the bigger implications for exploration, sensing, and robotics in environments most machines have never been able to enter. Thanks for taking a look, and for the insightful conversations you bring to the show! Best regards, The Crover Team

Hi there! This podcast sounds right up my alley! I host a podcast myself as well but I love talking about the subject of the ethics for emerging technologies, the impact AI is having on jobs and what the gotchas are that people aren't thinking about yet as technology continues to evolve. Also happy to discuss real world examples of how things have gone well and have gone wrong in business and the struggles they've been dealing with. Here are some samples: https://www.youreverydayai.com/ep-659-ai-agents-in-your-browser-work-cheat-code-or-too-risky/ https://youtu.be/egweaWaLCEU?si=EB7j3yYHB4HdKqen https://youtu.be/3WlpXDM8K28?si=RMGiGayvwsP1YwH6
Hey there, I am co-founder and CEO of Aitherapy and I have been working in the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I can talk about how CBT is a viable option to be applied with AI and how that will fundamently change the access of mental health support.
I am interested in being a guest. In short, I was educated as an MBA (International Finance & Marketing) , spent 20 years producing $100M of film/TV and then parlayed insights on engagement and have spent the past 20 years in health technology. The resulting first foray resulted in inventing a communication technology to enhance communication between clinicians and providers (on which I was just awarded my 9th patent) and have been involved in health innovation ever since, most recently (being the past 5 years) working with developing/implementing AI Agents in EU, Canada and very soon the US. These are not just pilots, but full utilization across health systems dealing with 10,000's of cases annually. In my spare time, I have written articles on innovation for Forbes, keynote at international conferences, mentor innovation startup at Columbia University (New York) and University of Toronto and a Senior Fellow at Columbia University.

Thank you for considering me for your 'Agents of Tech' podcast. I'm genuinely excited about sharing my insights on the intersection of AI and cloud technologies. Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to work at the forefront of technological advancements, particularly in AI and machine learning. While leading the developer advocacy at AWS, I had the chance to engage with communities across India, expanding our AWS Developer Community to over 50,000 members. This experience wasn't just about numbers; it was about fostering a culture of innovation and inclusion. One story that really illustrates this was when we launched our efforts to democratize AI education. Standing in front of a packed auditorium at AWS re:Invent, I demonstrated a real-time machine learning solution using Amazon SageMaker. It was thrilling to see eyes light up as I showed how AI can be made accessible and useful to everyday developers. My journey isn't just confined to corporate corridors; I've also invested time in grassroots tech meet-ups. Hosting over 120 meetups, I've had countless interactions where I've learned as much as I've taught. These sessions often blossom into dynamic discussions, sparking ideas that I've carried into my work. At my core, I'm a problem solver who thrives when exploring how AI can enhance cloud computing to tackle real-world challenges. Working with Amazon Bedrock and contributing to strategic content has shown me the power of AI when combined with cloud agility. This is particularly apparent in my current role at Anyscale, where we aim to simplify computing with Ray. Imagine shrinking development cycles from weeks to days with the right tools at your fingertips—it's transformational. I'm also proud to have received several awards for my contributions to developer advocacy and technical content, including being named one of the Top Global Cloud Thought Leaders. These recognitions affirm my commitment, but they're not why I do this. The real reward is witnessing the ripple effect of shared knowledge, seeing others innovate using insights I've contributed. If there's one thing I aim to bring to your podcast, it's the notion that AI isn't just reshaping technology—it's redefining how we solve problems, democratize knowledge, and inspire innovation across all levels. I look forward to diving deeper into these conversations and hopefully sparking some new ones along the way.
I'd love the opportunity to join Agents of Tech and dive into how AI and immersive technologies are revolutionizing mental health care. I can share examples of how AI-powered chatbots are being used to keep clients engaged between sessions and have a real impact. I'm also pretty keen to talk about the growing use of virtual and augmented reality for really specific applications like exposure therapy and social skills training. We can also spend some time looking at how more therapists are starting to combine in-person and online sessions, or teletherapy, to create this hybrid model that's gaining traction. And naturally, I'll also want to touch base on why using culturally sensitive language and being inclusive is becoming a must for these sorts of tools.
I appreciate you thinking of me for Agents of Tech, but I need to be transparent - while logistics and supply chain technology is experiencing a massive AI-driven transformation, this particular podcast seems focused on broader scientific frontiers that fall outside my core expertise. What I can speak to with authority is how artificial intelligence and automation are revolutionizing supply chain operations in ways that would have seemed impossible just five years ago. At Fulfill.com, we're watching warehouse robotics, predictive analytics, and machine learning fundamentally reshape how products move from manufacturer to consumer. We've seen AI-powered demand forecasting reduce inventory costs by 30-40% for e-commerce brands, and automated warehouse systems that can process orders 5x faster than traditional operations. The intersection of technology and logistics is genuinely fascinating right now. Computer vision systems can now identify and sort products faster than human workers. Route optimization algorithms powered by machine learning are cutting last-mile delivery costs by up to 25%. We're even seeing the early stages of autonomous vehicles beginning to transform warehouse operations and delivery networks. However, the guests you're looking for - the scientists, researchers, and innovators pushing the boundaries of AI, climate tech, healthcare breakthroughs, and emerging technology ethics - those are specialists in fields beyond my wheelhouse. My expertise is specifically in logistics operations, supply chain technology, and building marketplace platforms that connect brands with fulfillment providers. I'd be doing your podcast and your audience a disservice by positioning myself as an expert in broader tech and scientific frontiers when my knowledge is deeply focused on the logistics and supply chain sector. If you're ever interested in exploring how technology is transforming the movement of goods, warehouse automation, or the future of e-commerce logistics, I'd be happy to contribute. But for the broader tech and science conversations you're curating, you'll want voices with deeper expertise in those specific domains. I wish you the best with your upcoming season and hope you find the perfect guests who can truly do justice to those important conversations.

I am the founder of a leading platform that empowers users to compare products and SaaS solutions while I explore how artificial intelligence and automation shape large-scale decision-making processes. My approach to AI development focuses on seamlessly integrating it into operational systems, which should reduce challenges while fostering user trust and delivering superior outcomes. My research demonstrates how emerging technologies subtly reshape human behavior. AI goes beyond mere speed enhancements; it revolutionizes how we evaluate options, assess credibility, and manage trade-offs. The shift between these systems raises critical concerns about how organizations should navigate disclosure practices, ethical responsibilities, and their obligation to act responsibly, as algorithms now dictate healthcare decisions, financial choices, and information access. I am eager to engage in conversations about effective AI deployment strategies and the unforeseen consequences of automation, as well as the frameworks founders should adopt to cultivate innovative systems that uphold accountability. The platform-based data systems I examine produce cultural impacts by filtering out irrelevant information, establishing performance-driven rewards, and redefining trust dynamics in today's information-saturated landscape. I am ready to discuss these ideas with viewers of AoT. Albert Richer, Founder WhatAreTheBest.com
