7 00:07:46.400 ⇒ 00:07:51.829 Uttam Kumaran: I know. We talked a lot of about stuff on Friday. So probably a short meeting today.
8 00:07:53.430 ⇒ 00:07:56.109 Uttam Kumaran: Maybe we’ll just focus on client stuff, I guess.
9 00:07:58.630 ⇒ 00:08:02.309 Uttam Kumaran: On the data side, I guess. Nico, do we want to cover anything
10 00:08:03.160 ⇒ 00:08:07.839 Uttam Kumaran: big this week? I think the biggest thing. I know. We have the planning meeting for
11 00:08:08.760 ⇒ 00:08:15.039 Uttam Kumaran: full parts this week, and then I know. We have some stuff on
12 00:08:15.410 ⇒ 00:08:18.410 Uttam Kumaran: Javi as well, and I know also
13 00:08:18.540 ⇒ 00:08:22.639 Uttam Kumaran: there was some stuff that was gonna get closed out yesterday. So.
14 00:08:22.640 ⇒ 00:08:22.960 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
15 00:08:23.330 ⇒ 00:08:24.600 Uttam Kumaran: Update on that.
16 00:08:25.510 ⇒ 00:08:34.950 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I I don’t know if I think is not here, but we need to close out some things this week. We have a ton of work on Javi pool parts.
17 00:08:35.059 ⇒ 00:08:51.309 Nicolas Sucari: Eden and all of the clients. So yeah, we’re gonna be pushing this week to close as much of those things as possible. We need to schedule some time time with you and Robert, maybe to discuss about rubbed stems to start planning out that work, too. That’s gonna start next week, I think.
18 00:08:52.005 ⇒ 00:08:56.100 Nicolas Sucari: So yeah, we have to try and close
19 00:08:56.779 ⇒ 00:09:09.950 Nicolas Sucari: some of the some of all of those tasks that we have open? So yeah, that’s I think that’s it for the data side of things. Javi has some work to do, also on engineering that Luke is working on, I think.
20 00:09:10.303 ⇒ 00:09:30.050 Nicolas Sucari: but having that and also the engineering work for Eden, I I think we’re all gonna need to prioritize or to decide which one to prioritize to work faster this week, so that we can close out the 1st days between today, tomorrow, maybe, and then just leave Javi, or select what things to leave for end of the week.
21 00:09:33.300 ⇒ 00:09:38.481 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. Yeah. Then we’ll just follow up on that stuff. Today.
22 00:09:38.880 ⇒ 00:09:39.470 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
23 00:09:40.700 ⇒ 00:09:41.930 Uttam Kumaran: For the
24 00:09:43.630 ⇒ 00:09:49.230 Uttam Kumaran: for the AI team. I think we’re still just cruising on tickets. So I think we’ll just continue
25 00:09:49.760 ⇒ 00:09:53.740 Uttam Kumaran: with stuff there. And then I’m gonna start working on
26 00:09:54.530 ⇒ 00:10:02.260 Uttam Kumaran: today will be a little bit more heavy for Stack Blitz and for for Eden.
27 00:10:02.480 ⇒ 00:10:08.189 Uttam Kumaran: So I’m gonna try to get ahead of that this week. But let’s just we can talk in the data team channel and then plan everything out.
28 00:10:09.090 ⇒ 00:10:10.190 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, okay.
29 00:10:10.190 ⇒ 00:10:12.089 Uttam Kumaran: Or in the in the data meeting. Yeah.
30 00:10:13.240 ⇒ 00:10:23.819 Nicolas Sucari: Yes, and then maybe, Robert, I’ll I’ll schedule some time some time with you today or tomorrow to go through all of the other kind of projects that we have for Javi, so that we start planning that out too. Okay.
31 00:10:24.590 ⇒ 00:10:34.250 Robert Tseng: Yeah, can we do that tomorrow? I just wanna I wanna close out the today. And yeah, okay, think about joby on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I think.
32 00:10:35.030 ⇒ 00:10:36.129 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, perfect.
33 00:10:36.600 ⇒ 00:10:37.230 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
34 00:10:39.810 ⇒ 00:10:40.605 Uttam Kumaran: Cool.
35 00:10:42.180 ⇒ 00:10:45.600 Uttam Kumaran: Anything else we wanna chat about
36 00:10:48.600 ⇒ 00:10:49.210 Nicolas Sucari: Maybe no, maybe.
37 00:10:49.210 ⇒ 00:10:49.610 Robert Tseng: It just means.
38 00:10:49.610 ⇒ 00:11:00.750 Nicolas Sucari: Mentioning to everyone that we did a data team retro on Friday and went really good. I don’t know who. Tell me if you’re doing AI retros or something like that, or if we want to do like a big
39 00:11:00.850 ⇒ 00:11:04.629 Nicolas Sucari: kind of retro with everyone at some point. But yeah, it went really good.
40 00:11:06.560 ⇒ 00:11:17.489 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think we’re we’re start. We’re doing some stuff on the AI team. But I think probably once we get clients, once we get. Once we sign the next client, we’ll probably start to do it as well.
41 00:11:17.700 ⇒ 00:11:19.260 Uttam Kumaran: But yeah, good point.
42 00:11:20.880 ⇒ 00:11:24.629 Robert Tseng: Yeah, that was good. I think we should definitely try to do that like every other week.
43 00:11:25.800 ⇒ 00:11:44.511 Robert Tseng: yeah. Couple of things on my mind one is on the like content side. I know we’re like updating the website. Thank you and Ryan for helping with that. Yeah, I mean, we still haven’t made like our our big announcement. And I think,
44 00:11:45.130 ⇒ 00:11:53.108 Robert Tseng: yeah, I just wanna make sure that that’s still top of mind. And we have like. We said we would do it last week, but we punted it to this week. So
45 00:11:53.600 ⇒ 00:11:57.650 Robert Tseng: yeah, I think that would be great to get ahead of.
46 00:11:59.440 ⇒ 00:12:13.759 Robert Tseng: So we could just make sure that we have kind of clear timeline on how we’re gonna roll that out. Because basically, I’m like, kind of gonna follow the the brain forge announcement. So I know we’re trying to get the website ready. And then to kind of do like a
47 00:12:14.820 ⇒ 00:12:28.900 Robert Tseng: to do an announcement, and then we’ll we’ll do the repost and sharing. And hopefully, that’s gonna give us a spike in in traffic and kind of kick. Start like getting more of us to be consistently engaged on these platforms.
48 00:12:29.665 ⇒ 00:12:35.349 Robert Tseng: And then, I think, hiring side, I think we’re trying to make a few
49 00:12:35.700 ⇒ 00:12:44.240 Robert Tseng: hires right. We think we’re we might. We’ll probably be bringing on handle for them on the help of marketing. And then
50 00:12:45.074 ⇒ 00:12:52.280 Robert Tseng: yeah, I guess we’re looking for more ae de support. So I guess.
51 00:12:52.490 ⇒ 00:12:56.000 Robert Tseng: yeah, we wanna make sure that we’re kind of keep moving on that as well.
52 00:12:56.330 ⇒ 00:12:57.470 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
53 00:12:59.850 ⇒ 00:13:10.129 Robert Tseng: Yeah. And then the last thing that I’m gonna probably share out soon is I just updated our sales channel to include sales leads partners. So I was, I’ve been thinking through the
54 00:13:10.490 ⇒ 00:13:12.220 Robert Tseng: revamping kind of like
55 00:13:12.530 ⇒ 00:13:28.620 Robert Tseng: just kind of tracking the way we talk to partners. Similarly to how we do with with sales leads bias has been wanting to get more involved in that. So we’re not gonna meet daily on it. But with the partners notion. That we have, I’ve I’ve been updating that and
56 00:13:29.317 ⇒ 00:13:34.550 Robert Tseng: I think we’ll we’ll probably at least talk about it once a week. Moving forward now.
57 00:13:36.500 ⇒ 00:13:38.610 Uttam Kumaran: Cool. Yeah. And I think also, we’ll.
58 00:13:39.020 ⇒ 00:13:42.849 Uttam Kumaran: I think, Robert, we can finish up probably the Okrs this week as well, and maybe we can.
59 00:13:43.270 ⇒ 00:13:44.109 Robert Tseng: We should.
60 00:13:44.530 ⇒ 00:13:47.500 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, we’re we’re almost done with that. So.
61 00:13:48.470 ⇒ 00:13:52.750 Robert Tseng: Yeah, we definitely will be able to share it by friday’s meet meeting.
62 00:13:57.220 ⇒ 00:14:06.329 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. Anything else on the sales operation side.
63 00:14:06.720 ⇒ 00:14:16.800 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I think. On the operation side. Marianne already finished the 2 forms for the new client request and contract signing documents. So.
64 00:14:16.930 ⇒ 00:14:32.119 Nicolas Sucari: Connor Robert to them, if you have like new contract to to send to anyone, just let’s try out that new flow filling it, filling out that form so that we can take it with Marianne and understand how to do all of the changes there. Okay?
65 00:14:34.180 ⇒ 00:14:44.530 Nicolas Sucari: Or maybe when when we need to. Yeah, sign a new contract or a new client request. Just send a message in sales operations channel. And we can
66 00:14:44.690 ⇒ 00:14:46.610 Nicolas Sucari: go through that process. Okay.
67 00:14:47.040 ⇒ 00:14:47.700 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

69 00:14:53.967 ⇒ 00:14:56.103 Uttam Kumaran: And then I think maybe the only thing

71 00:15:01.550 ⇒ 00:15:10.230 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna get through some of the questions in the channel and then basically try and
72 00:15:11.540 ⇒ 00:15:18.640 Uttam Kumaran: I just need to go through the meeting notes again and see if there’s any updates to the product sales summary. But I’ll just make that
73 00:15:18.790 ⇒ 00:15:21.170 Uttam Kumaran: basically gonna make all those changes live.
74 00:15:23.930 ⇒ 00:15:24.620 Uttam Kumaran: And
75 00:15:24.880 ⇒ 00:15:31.850 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, I just wanna assist where possible before for for tomorrow, and then anything else we can plan out for the rest of the week.
