10 00:01:33.590 ⇒ 00:01:41.739 Uttam Kumaran: And the last thing I think we’ve been doing also a better job on operations. So some stuff I need to approve for Marianne. But some of that notion stuff should get really cleaner.
11 00:01:42.459 ⇒ 00:01:52.820 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think probably like short meeting today. I guess I was gonna ask. Maybe Miguel and AI side. I know there’s a lot going on. If you wanted to just give an overview of stuff that happened this week.
12 00:01:53.243 ⇒ 00:01:57.630 Uttam Kumaran: or anything. We wanna like tackle next week that we need to plan for.
13 00:01:58.318 ⇒ 00:02:00.109 Miguel de Veyra: Yeah. So I think
14 00:02:00.200 ⇒ 00:02:08.909 Miguel de Veyra: AI side. We discussed most of it yesterday, but for next week I already scheduled the call with Ryan on Monday, I believe.
15 00:02:08.910 ⇒ 00:02:09.550 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
16 00:02:10.139 ⇒ 00:02:14.689 Miguel de Veyra: And then I’ll speak with Tico, probably after this call, and we could schedule something.
17 00:02:15.069 ⇒ 00:02:22.609 Miguel de Veyra: and then I know Luke is pretty busy, anyway, so maybe he could be, you know, after, because it seems like we’re gonna be pretty busy next week.
18 00:02:22.820 ⇒ 00:02:29.350 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, I think, start start with those that 2. That’s really great. And yeah, I I wanted to talk about the content brain
19 00:02:29.360 ⇒ 00:02:32.280 Uttam Kumaran: also with Ryan. So just add me to whenever you guys chat.
20 00:02:34.440 ⇒ 00:02:35.200 Uttam Kumaran: Cool.
21 00:02:36.850 ⇒ 00:02:45.900 Uttam Kumaran: And then yes. So for yeah. For in terms of the AI leads to for sasholic will be scheduling on Monday. I believe they’ll be grabbing time with them.
22 00:02:45.920 ⇒ 00:02:48.980 Uttam Kumaran: And then me and Robert are gonna meet on Sunday.
23 00:02:49.258 ⇒ 00:02:53.139 Uttam Kumaran: Just to chat about like how we’re gonna do pricing. And the proposal for that.
24 00:02:54.660 ⇒ 00:02:57.250 Miguel de Veyra: Is that the 3 4 am. On my time.
25 00:02:57.250 ⇒ 00:03:04.850 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I added, you in case you’re out. But don’t. Don’t worry about joining cool. Sorry, Nico. Go ahead.
26 00:03:05.550 ⇒ 00:03:27.610 Nicolas Sucari: No, no, that’s perfect on the AI side. Yeah, I’m I need to meet with Miguel, or maybe schedule some time for next week, and they have, like 2 different things that we can start working on. One is creating like our own AI bot in slack so that we can have the daily updates kind of a stand uply tool that we used a couple of months ago so that we can start tracking daily
27 00:03:27.660 ⇒ 00:03:51.350 Nicolas Sucari: daily updates and create that weekly status, maybe to share with clients directly from there. The other one is how to create like that content brain. But from the actual pro projects that we have gathering information from different places, so that we can add to that weekly status some more links and information from other places. Not only the the messages we are gonna be answering to that bot
28 00:03:51.860 ⇒ 00:04:01.709 Nicolas Sucari: that that’s kind of the my 2 things, I think that we can start working on on that so that we can automate and I think it’s gonna be, yeah, really useful.
29 00:04:02.120 ⇒ 00:04:02.670 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
30 00:04:04.590 ⇒ 00:04:11.400 Uttam Kumaran: okay, cool. Yeah. Anything else on the data side? Nico, I think we’re still need to chat with Ben and then
31 00:04:13.110 ⇒ 00:04:13.770 Uttam Kumaran: update.
32 00:04:14.190 ⇒ 00:04:39.659 Nicolas Sucari: We we shared with ben the new dashboard, with the percentages of of sales he liked that. He asked us to to add some new contract that they are having with for the shipment of heat pumps, I think. So we need to talk with Jack, so that he can tell us, what is that new agreement that they have on which areas or or which orders impact
33 00:04:39.952 ⇒ 00:05:06.589 Nicolas Sucari: that new agreement, so that we can add that one to the dashboards, and once that is ready, he said, he will be like going into in a weekly basis to check that the the data. So that’s kind of the 1st step we’re gonna meet with Chuck and then meet again with with Ben to see where it goes. And yeah, we’ve we, we started to work. If we have time for pool parts, we with Luke, we started to work on creating the warehouse comparison dashboard to
34 00:05:06.988 ⇒ 00:05:33.710 Nicolas Sucari: and the end we have, like all of the analysis for the weather impact that payas is working on, too. So we have bunch of of stuff to do for pool parts. And Javi we are. We are working in the amplitude. Gorgeous stuff that. Payas is also working there. And with look we are. We’re still working on cleaning up a little bit all of the tables that we have from gorgeous
35 00:05:33.710 ⇒ 00:05:37.799 Nicolas Sucari: that we are ingesting with 5 tramp so that we can still
36 00:05:37.990 ⇒ 00:05:44.669 Nicolas Sucari: try to improve or reduce that that deal. And yeah, we’re gonna follow up with Vitran on the
37 00:05:45.058 ⇒ 00:05:50.479 Nicolas Sucari: other support ticket that they didn’t answer us. So that’s kind of the status for now. Yeah.
38 00:05:50.960 ⇒ 00:05:55.479 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, let’s see if we can just close all the 5 trans stuff out. And we can kind of move past.
39 00:05:56.650 ⇒ 00:06:15.819 Nicolas Sucari: The Amazon one. It’s it’s it’s solved. They told us they are gonna refund us for that for that amount. So that’s great. The other one is still in progress. They are still reviewing what happened with the gorgeous Connector. We are still finding some issues with the gorgeous connector. Every week. We’ve been checking yesterday with Ryan, and we don’t have like a lot of
40 00:06:15.930 ⇒ 00:06:29.480 Nicolas Sucari: we. We don’t have like the latest data coming in from gorgeous. So yeah, we’re gonna need to talk with 5 trend team again about that but yeah. And then we’re gonna start looking into portable, maybe to see if we can
41 00:06:29.670 ⇒ 00:06:32.999 Nicolas Sucari: start testing how it works with portable.
42 00:06:33.220 ⇒ 00:06:33.800 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
43 00:06:37.890 ⇒ 00:06:39.179 Nicolas Sucari: Good. Idea. Okay. Cool.
44 00:06:40.790 ⇒ 00:06:43.590 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think, the stuff for pool parts. Yeah, let’s
45 00:06:43.660 ⇒ 00:06:50.380 Uttam Kumaran: so now we have work. And also, now that we have clear work. I think number name
46 00:06:50.930 ⇒ 00:06:53.140 Uttam Kumaran: stuff is outstanding this from you
47 00:06:53.190 ⇒ 00:06:56.629 Uttam Kumaran: like, even for Dan. If we don’t hear from him just like hit him. Now.
48 00:06:56.920 ⇒ 00:06:57.470 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
49 00:06:58.940 ⇒ 00:07:01.439 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna forget, though, I just really
50 00:07:01.490 ⇒ 00:07:03.539 Uttam Kumaran: I just want to be on top of the ball
51 00:07:03.690 ⇒ 00:07:07.470 Uttam Kumaran: there. Like in touch with both of them.
52 00:07:08.640 ⇒ 00:07:13.520 Uttam Kumaran: And then, Aman, you can get in touch with. So I think the joby stuff is okay.
53 00:07:13.990 ⇒ 00:07:20.520 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I wanna I wanna introduce pay us to Ben and Dan, maybe or yeah, pull parts team, because I don’t think he already
54 00:07:20.790 ⇒ 00:07:33.830 Nicolas Sucari: he’s being introduced. I don’t think that happened yet. So yeah, maybe next week, when we schedule that meeting, I’m gonna take some minutes to introduce him. And yeah, just let him know that he’s joining the team to do all of that analysis. Part of of the work.
55 00:07:34.190 ⇒ 00:07:37.160 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. Yeah. And I think next week we’ll probably have a little.
56 00:07:39.020 ⇒ 00:07:40.270 Nicolas Sucari: Utm. Your mic is fine.
57 00:07:41.350 ⇒ 00:07:42.398 Miguel de Veyra: We can’t hear you.
58 00:07:45.010 ⇒ 00:07:46.100 Uttam Kumaran: How about now? Better.
59 00:07:47.060 ⇒ 00:07:48.170 Miguel de Veyra: Yeah, yeah, we can hear you.
60 00:07:48.170 ⇒ 00:07:50.012 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I I think next week
61 00:07:51.500 ⇒ 00:08:00.819 Uttam Kumaran: Next week we’ll have a little bit more understanding of all the different like Pm. Processes. But I still think for this week, like I think it’s still helpful to send those Friday emails.
62 00:08:01.850 ⇒ 00:08:02.310 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
63 00:08:02.310 ⇒ 00:08:09.659 Uttam Kumaran: No. So I think that would be really, really helpful to do just to recap everything for for all the clients like what’s going on?
64 00:08:10.275 ⇒ 00:08:10.789 Uttam Kumaran: Definitely.
65 00:08:10.790 ⇒ 00:08:20.310 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, we’re gonna still still do that until we have the clear process on how we can automate that. But yeah, I’m gonna keep doing all of those updates every week.
66 00:08:20.550 ⇒ 00:08:28.385 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. And then, yeah, we’ll we’ll end up having that all managed in notion, like with with recurring tasks and stuff. So I think it’ll be a little bit more clear.
67 00:08:29.270 ⇒ 00:08:47.899 Nicolas Sucari: Oh, yeah, totally. I’m gonna share the notion roadmap for pull parts, too, because we have everything there. So it’s also a good thing to share again, so that they can. If they want to know what we’re working on and what is in the backlog, they can go there directly and see it. And we are. We’re starting to use that again because we have now stuff to work on. So that’s perfect.
68 00:08:48.700 ⇒ 00:08:49.330 Uttam Kumaran: Okay?
69 00:08:51.005 ⇒ 00:09:09.230 Uttam Kumaran: Otherwise, I think we we had a good design meeting today. I think we have, like a bunch of action items there. I think the only thing broadly that we need to finalize is services. I think. And you tagged Robert. Today on what we’re working on there, but maybe I’ll just pull
70 00:09:09.560 ⇒ 00:09:17.330 Uttam Kumaran: it up really quick. It’s in sales assets one second.
71 00:09:24.840 ⇒ 00:09:28.889 Miguel de Veyra: Putin while you’re pulling that up. Is there like a specific reason why we stopped
72 00:09:29.500 ⇒ 00:09:33.120 Miguel de Veyra: does was, what was it, Nico standard, please? Something.
73 00:09:33.310 ⇒ 00:09:43.920 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, we were not like at at some point the projects were kind of they slowed down a little bit, so we don’t. We didn’t have like so much to add there. And every user was kind of a
74 00:09:43.930 ⇒ 00:09:47.049 Nicolas Sucari: a couple of dollars. So we just removed
75 00:09:47.580 ⇒ 00:09:50.279 Nicolas Sucari: that one. But I it’s something that we can easily
76 00:09:50.310 ⇒ 00:09:58.960 Nicolas Sucari: activate again. Or we can create like that bodies just sending a message and getting the answers. And just yeah, creating something from all of the answers from everyone.
77 00:09:59.490 ⇒ 00:10:00.300 Miguel de Veyra: Okay. Okay.
78 00:10:00.920 ⇒ 00:10:05.349 Nicolas Sucari: I’m gonna I can show I can show you later, and we can see how we can do it.
79 00:10:06.000 ⇒ 00:10:06.650 Miguel de Veyra: Okay. Sure.
80 00:10:08.670 ⇒ 00:10:14.552 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. So this is what we are working on. I think the only I think 2 things on this one will probably
81 00:10:15.140 ⇒ 00:10:18.070 Uttam Kumaran: finalize what these like service offerings are.
82 00:10:18.170 ⇒ 00:10:22.459 Uttam Kumaran: and then I also want to think about. If we should add pricing into here as well.
83 00:10:22.480 ⇒ 00:10:24.959 Uttam Kumaran: and then we will have some
84 00:10:25.100 ⇒ 00:10:27.439 Uttam Kumaran: sort of variant on the header.
85 00:10:27.721 ⇒ 00:10:33.170 Uttam Kumaran: But I think this is a good place to start. I don’t know, Robert. I haven’t. I haven’t finalized yet. The document with all the sales stuff.
86 00:10:33.260 ⇒ 00:10:35.889 Uttam Kumaran: I’m in one place, but this
87 00:10:36.407 ⇒ 00:10:44.459 Uttam Kumaran: file has like a bunch of stuff on everything. So I think it’d be nice to do. Once we finalize this, we can also finalize the deck. And then
88 00:10:44.895 ⇒ 00:10:52.839 Uttam Kumaran: we’ll start running with that in meetings. And then we could finalize the website to basically have a representation that’ll just take a little bit longer.
89 00:10:53.430 ⇒ 00:10:56.656 Robert Tseng: Yeah, this is great. I’d like to
90 00:10:57.640 ⇒ 00:11:06.162 Robert Tseng: kind of take a version of this and send it over to Deloitte. Kind of following up on the conversation we had last week on.
91 00:11:06.700 ⇒ 00:11:16.920 Robert Tseng: yeah, I mean, they’ve been asking for kind of some info on on us. So I think. Maybe this could be a good good time to try to get that to a shareable state.
92 00:11:16.920 ⇒ 00:11:22.159 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, let me. I’m just gonna make sure before I hop off today that you’re in Figma
93 00:11:22.535 ⇒ 00:11:25.790 Uttam Kumaran: and I’ll just tag that. I’ll tag you in here.
94 00:11:25.830 ⇒ 00:11:28.729 Uttam Kumaran: This. Yeah, this has a bunch of stuff.
95 00:11:29.190 ⇒ 00:11:51.729 Uttam Kumaran: This sort of file has, like a bunch of different things that we could probably send over and of course, and works sorry. I’m just like I can’t even operate signal right now. But and can and can whip stuff up really, really quickly. So in case we have any small tweaks we could do. But I do think that’s a it’s in a decent enough place to to start to use
96 00:11:53.100 ⇒ 00:11:53.740 Robert Tseng: Great.
97 00:11:56.930 ⇒ 00:12:02.660 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. And then, yeah, I guess, Casey, did you want to demo the lead agent stuff?
98 00:12:03.150 ⇒ 00:12:04.220 Uttam Kumaran: Are you finished.
99 00:12:04.610 ⇒ 00:12:05.770 Casie Aviles: Yeah, sure. Sure.
100 00:12:07.620 ⇒ 00:12:09.780 Casie Aviles: So yeah, let me just
101 00:12:15.500 ⇒ 00:12:20.569 Casie Aviles: so, basically, the agent works by.
102 00:12:21.300 ⇒ 00:12:23.690 Casie Aviles: Oh, wait, let me sorry. This is the wrong screen.
103 00:12:23.690 ⇒ 00:12:26.520 Uttam Kumaran: Sorry. I know I just randomly calling you. I apologize.
104 00:12:28.640 ⇒ 00:12:34.839 Casie Aviles: Yeah, okay, so it’s just here in the internal AI agents channel. And
105 00:12:35.920 ⇒ 00:12:38.999 Casie Aviles: yeah, like, basically how it works is, we
106 00:12:39.730 ⇒ 00:12:43.009 Casie Aviles: use a keyword, like bad lead researcher and
107 00:12:44.380 ⇒ 00:12:48.490 Casie Aviles: something like this. And then we have like this, these links.
108 00:12:49.260 ⇒ 00:12:50.310 Casie Aviles: So
109 00:12:50.670 ⇒ 00:12:55.920 Casie Aviles: yeah, I mean, we could try with one of our. I mean, I did a bunch of tests already, but.
110 00:12:56.760 ⇒ 00:12:59.940 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I have a. I have a, I have a new person. We can probably try.
111 00:13:01.120 ⇒ 00:13:01.920 Casie Aviles: Yeah, sure.
112 00:13:02.730 ⇒ 00:13:06.939 Uttam Kumaran: But the the idea here everyone is like, we get a lot of inbound leads.
113 00:13:06.990 ⇒ 00:13:13.209 Uttam Kumaran: And in order to quickly get like their email. And like a little bit about them, we built a little AI agent that goes and scrapes
114 00:13:13.240 ⇒ 00:13:18.111 Uttam Kumaran: their linkedin their site and like kind of like summarizes a lot of information.
115 00:13:18.850 ⇒ 00:13:27.520 Uttam Kumaran: which is really nice. I think we’ll start to evolve this more broadly. Maybe I’ll send.
116 00:13:27.960 ⇒ 00:13:30.049 Uttam Kumaran: I guess. Should I just send it to you?
117 00:13:30.390 ⇒ 00:13:31.370 Uttam Kumaran: A/C.
118 00:13:31.910 ⇒ 00:13:32.820 Casie Aviles: Yeah, sure. Sure.
119 00:13:37.310 ⇒ 00:13:41.479 Uttam Kumaran: Of this guy came in as a new lead.
120 00:13:41.860 ⇒ 00:13:51.590 Uttam Kumaran: Hello, or here I’ll just. I’ll throw it in the in the AI engines.
121 00:13:55.820 ⇒ 00:14:06.529 Uttam Kumaran: and then also. So this this channel where I was, gonna have probably the whole. The it’s gonna probably hold a lot of other agents that we’ll end up using. But I do think that this has been really helpful so far.
122 00:14:13.400 ⇒ 00:14:16.320 Uttam Kumaran: so this guy was a lead that got sent today.
123 00:14:16.770 ⇒ 00:14:21.880 Uttam Kumaran: So what what happens when this. So this gets picked up by Zapier and it gets sent to relevance.
124 00:14:22.680 ⇒ 00:14:23.829 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
125 00:14:25.680 ⇒ 00:14:26.760 Nicolas Sucari: We can.
126 00:14:26.760 ⇒ 00:14:27.669 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. Go ahead.
127 00:14:28.050 ⇒ 00:14:32.320 Nicolas Sucari: Sorry we we can add like any link, or it’s just linkedin and a website.
128 00:14:34.540 ⇒ 00:14:35.090 Casie Aviles: Grabs it.
129 00:14:35.090 ⇒ 00:14:37.789 Nicolas Sucari: Anything, we anything we we add right?
130 00:14:39.342 ⇒ 00:14:45.140 Casie Aviles: Yeah, we could add some other links like their company website or Company Urls. But
131 00:14:45.861 ⇒ 00:14:49.680 Casie Aviles: right now, it’s best configured with just the linkedin and
132 00:14:49.790 ⇒ 00:14:53.790 Casie Aviles: linking profiles. So the the results might not be as good.
133 00:14:54.410 ⇒ 00:14:58.750 Casie Aviles: But yeah, it can also do like plain text, even without links.
134 00:15:00.170 ⇒ 00:15:00.850 Nicolas Sucari: Nice.
135 00:15:02.250 ⇒ 00:15:04.079 Casie Aviles: Yeah, so it just takes
136 00:15:04.110 ⇒ 00:15:09.630 Casie Aviles: sometime. But it will send out results. So, for example, it would look like this. So
137 00:15:09.780 ⇒ 00:15:17.320 Casie Aviles: we have, like the company overview, and then, and the names, the contact details trends
138 00:15:17.760 ⇒ 00:15:20.680 Casie Aviles: and recommendations for us like, how can we?
139 00:15:21.190 ⇒ 00:15:24.850 Casie Aviles: You know? Right.
140 00:15:25.120 ⇒ 00:15:25.660 Casie Aviles: See you.
141 00:15:27.420 ⇒ 00:15:30.239 Casie Aviles: So you have these details over here.
142 00:15:30.990 ⇒ 00:15:31.780 Uttam Kumaran: Nice.
143 00:15:33.620 ⇒ 00:15:36.780 Miguel de Veyra: Utah. Something just came into mind while looking at this.
144 00:15:38.410 ⇒ 00:15:45.410 Miguel de Veyra: cause, you know, I reckon some of the recruitment for firms could visit. I could benefit from something like this. Now.
145 00:15:46.140 ⇒ 00:15:49.670 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, like, quickly sending something and finding. Yeah, exactly. I mean.
146 00:15:49.670 ⇒ 00:15:51.900 Miguel de Veyra: If someone applies through their website.
147 00:15:52.000 ⇒ 00:15:56.880 Miguel de Veyra: the the agent process in it gives them like, I think, that could be a service. I’ll take note of that way.
148 00:15:57.030 ⇒ 00:15:58.350 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
149 00:15:59.560 ⇒ 00:16:01.020 Nicolas Sucari: Nice. Yeah.
150 00:16:03.540 ⇒ 00:16:04.090 Miguel de Veyra: This was.
151 00:16:04.090 ⇒ 00:16:09.339 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. So I’m excited for this channel in particular, because I want to have like a different, basically.
152 00:16:09.440 ⇒ 00:16:22.286 Uttam Kumaran: we will have some of these agents that are very specific. But at some point we’ll also have, like general purpose agents that are like, what are you trying to do and routes it? Right? So that’s the other thing. I’m still excited to figure out.
153 00:16:23.290 ⇒ 00:16:28.220 Uttam Kumaran: for the AI team is the general purpose, like Brainforge agent, that has all of our knowledge in it.
154 00:16:28.509 ⇒ 00:16:31.620 Uttam Kumaran: I know we were playing with run, bear, and stuff like that, but
155 00:16:31.960 ⇒ 00:16:44.650 Uttam Kumaran: I still think like that’s probably the next look. The next biggest priority to figure out if something that has all of our data in it can can do rag and get either the slack or the Zoom Meeting that is related to it.
156 00:16:44.660 ⇒ 00:16:47.820 Uttam Kumaran: That will. It may require a lot more work, but
157 00:16:48.170 ⇒ 00:16:49.819 Uttam Kumaran: excited to like. Figure that out
158 00:16:52.660 ⇒ 00:16:56.789 Uttam Kumaran: cool. The only other thing I wanted to talk about is
159 00:16:57.040 ⇒ 00:17:05.040 Uttam Kumaran: this month. So it’s a lot of holidays. I guess. I wanted to talk with everybody here, and then I know there’s some people that aren’t on the call. I’ll ask. But like.
160 00:17:05.210 ⇒ 00:17:09.410 Uttam Kumaran: what do you guys think about for time off like
161 00:17:09.971 ⇒ 00:17:16.910 Uttam Kumaran: end of month, like I mean? I don’t know. I kind of wanted just to bring it up to everybody, so we all can kind of like agree on something.
162 00:17:18.300 ⇒ 00:17:22.580 Uttam Kumaran: I mean in this in the States this year. It’s it’s like in the middle of the week.
163 00:17:22.720 ⇒ 00:17:26.244 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, I guess everywhere it’s in the middle of the week, but it’s
164 00:17:26.640 ⇒ 00:17:30.839 Uttam Kumaran: So I don’t know. I kind of feel like everybody’s probably gonna be off.
