88 00:07:48.250 00:07:52.729 Uttam Kumaran: Or we… yeah, anything that works. Basically, so on that call, when we get to this.

89 00:07:52.930 00:07:57.279 Uttam Kumaran: I would… it would be great to just shoot it to that new guy, so he can, like, look at it while we’re talking.

90 00:07:57.280 00:07:57.840 Hannah Wang: bang.

91 00:07:58.230 00:07:59.059 Hannah Wang: The brain force.

92 00:07:59.060 00:08:00.330 Uttam Kumaran: ICP…

93 00:08:03.760 00:08:06.069 Holly Condos: Oh yeah, look at slide 4.

95 00:08:10.370 00:08:13.549 Holly Condos: Right, so let’s see,

96 00:08:14.200 00:08:16.100 Holly Condos: Okay, go back to where you were.

97 00:08:16.770 00:08:21.830 Uttam Kumaran: So this is perfect. I think probably the next thing I’m just gonna say is, like, this is kind of how we think about things.

98 00:08:22.260 00:08:37.919 Uttam Kumaran: like, nothing unfamiliar, but for us, we made a lot of friends in the industry, and so we’re sort of trying to categorize and find where we can continue to further develop. I’m gonna share, like, here’s a lot of our other sort of friends. You guys may already have partnerships, so maybe there’s further ways to collaborate.

99 00:08:38.539 00:08:43.230 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna highlight… For the folks that are new on the call, like, what we’ve done together.

100 00:08:43.440 00:08:57.110 Uttam Kumaran: I’m going to put this here. So this is, like, sort of what we’ve done together today. So part of it is, like, us, and then back to them, and then us, back to them. I think that’s a natural flow. Talk about our Brainforge ICP, and naturally, like.

101 00:08:57.660 00:09:02.200 Uttam Kumaran: I just wanna… I wanna hear about their clients, too, so I’m gonna ask about, like, what are you guys seeing?

102 00:09:02.310 00:09:05.959 Uttam Kumaran: Who are you guys getting wins with? Where are you guys not getting wins, and why?

103 00:09:06.240 00:09:10.359 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so we have our clients…

104 00:09:10.940 00:09:14.380 Uttam Kumaran: I wanna… I can work on this slide…

105 00:09:14.900 00:09:19.879 Holly Condos: So this one, I was not clear, is… are we pitching them or us?

106 00:09:20.290 00:09:26.150 Uttam Kumaran: This is how we’re pitching their software to our existing clients. So I just want to highlight our, like.

107 00:09:26.240 00:09:41.859 Uttam Kumaran: are talking points. Like, I talk about them as, like, this is… RAG and retrieval is a huge part of the AI stack. This is something that many customers, may try to develop themselves, and will hit natural roadblocks, and

108 00:09:42.260 00:09:51.250 Uttam Kumaran: this is… they have a ton of depth, blah blah blah, like, this is, like, just gassing them up, and this is… this is how I originally got, like, this was the only thing I had when I first called them, basically, so…

109 00:09:51.250 00:09:54.280 Holly Condos: Oh, I gotcha, I gotcha. I just wasn’t sure what to stick in there, so…

110 00:09:54.960 00:09:58.749 Uttam Kumaran: And then, yeah, I’m gonna just say, like, look, we have a bunch of motions that I kinda wanna highlight, like.

111 00:09:58.750 00:10:00.290 Holly Condos: We did great events.

112 00:10:00.290 00:10:01.620 Uttam Kumaran: This is perfect.

113 00:10:02.120 00:10:05.979 Uttam Kumaran: Maybe the only thing I’m gonna do here is…

114 00:10:05.980 00:10:10.330 Holly Condos: Oh, this is the one I had the question on. What do we mean by signal?

115 00:10:11.190 00:10:16.819 Holly Condos: From private dinners to full-stage keynotes, we bring structure, signal, and story to every appearance.

116 00:10:17.630 00:10:24.669 Hannah Wang: Sorry, I changed it, I changed the word to authority in the template, so I’ll just change it, yeah.

117 00:10:24.670 00:10:25.240 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think…

132 00:11:13.840 00:11:19.659 Hannah Wang: No worries. Just because I feel like if we put in the appendix, it’s like an afterthought, and people aren’t…

133 00:11:19.850 00:11:24.459 Holly Condos: I agree. I just was highlighting the… if there’s anything confidential.

163 00:13:11.350 00:13:16.060 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna basically talk about on Unified… Bombers…

164 00:13:17.020 00:13:24.280 Uttam Kumaran: Via… like, technology… Something like that, whatever.

165 00:13:24.470 00:13:36.960 Uttam Kumaran: Central Nation tends… Typically… powerful… Unique… And, yeah, unique.

166 00:13:37.300 00:13:41.189 Uttam Kumaran: That’s fine. Okay, social activations…

167 00:13:41.520 00:13:43.060 Holly Condos: Okay, Molly, I know you said.

168 00:13:43.060 00:13:46.610 Hannah Wang: It’s confusing. Oh, it’s… you got it now?

169 00:13:46.610 00:13:47.599 Holly Condos: I think so, yeah.

170 00:13:47.600 00:13:48.930 Hannah Wang: Okay, cool.

171 00:13:49.750 00:13:52.709 Holly Condos: I was looking at it pretty late at night, so that was probably why.

172 00:13:52.710 00:13:53.560 Hannah Wang: No worries.

173 00:14:00.260 00:14:02.300 Uttam Kumaran: And then, Hannah, is this, okay, so…

174 00:14:02.520 00:14:06.250 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I… we… I’ll have more ideas on this later, I just…

175 00:14:06.250 00:14:06.970 Hannah Wang: Okay.

176 00:14:07.300 00:14:09.089 Holly Condos: Yeah, I think it’s okay for now, but…

177 00:14:09.090 00:14:09.600 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah.

178 00:14:09.600 00:14:11.780 Holly Condos: We could probably work it a bit.

179 00:14:11.970 00:14:12.620 Hannah Wang: Yeah.

180 00:14:14.130 00:14:14.710 Uttam Kumaran: Cool.

181 00:14:15.810 00:14:23.310 Uttam Kumaran: Asset types… Okay… Playbook, that’s fine, this is okay.

182 00:14:24.180 00:14:27.130 Uttam Kumaran: Well, it’s rest… Cool.

183 00:14:28.840 00:14:30.930 Holly Condos: Oh, did you take out the…

184 00:14:31.500 00:14:33.829 Hannah Wang: I gotcha, I’ll, paste it in.

185 00:14:34.020 00:14:37.310 Holly Condos: Yeah, so I think that’s the commonality, right? Awesome.

186 00:14:37.310 00:14:45.909 Uttam Kumaran: That’s perfect, yeah, that’s perfect. Yeah, and this one, again, these will just be, like, I’m just gonna talk, and we’ll see, like, where it goes at this point. And even these middle ones, like…

187 00:14:46.930 00:14:52.020 Uttam Kumaran: we’ll see how much I stick on them, because it’s just nice, it’s just… I think having them is nice, so… Yes.

188 00:14:52.020 00:14:53.020 Holly Condos: No, I agree.

189 00:14:53.020 00:14:53.540 Uttam Kumaran: Costello.

190 00:14:53.540 00:15:00.640 Hannah Wang: But everything on the right, sorry, if you go back, it’s just copy-pasted, so… I think it’s okay. It’s okay. That’s okay.

191 00:15:00.640 00:15:01.240 Uttam Kumaran: That’s…

192 00:15:01.790 00:15:02.590 Holly Condos: I think it’s okay.

193 00:15:02.890 00:15:03.720 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, perform.

194 00:15:03.720 00:15:07.690 Holly Condos: Even though I said before we should try to make it different, but I think it’s fine.

195 00:15:07.690 00:15:11.270 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Repo’s marketing activities, great, this is great.

196 00:15:12.630 00:15:13.440 Uttam Kumaran: Great.

197 00:15:25.800 00:15:28.780 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. Okay, so…

198 00:15:28.780 00:15:32.119 Hannah Wang: There’s no copy on slide 20, it’s just placeholder, by the way.

199 00:15:33.010 00:15:33.819 Uttam Kumaran: That’s fine.

200 00:15:33.990 00:15:35.720 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. That’s okay.

201 00:15:35.720 00:15:38.899 Holly Condos: Yeah, I think that’s okay, too. We can fill that in, even.

202 00:15:38.900 00:15:44.540 Uttam Kumaran: So, I will just… Get this done, and then… just bounce through this again.

203 00:15:48.290 00:15:51.779 Hannah Wang: How do you want me to clean up this one? Or should we just get rid of it?

204 00:15:51.780 00:15:57.240 Uttam Kumaran: Can we put, can we put the other guy’s thing here? Whoever that guy is? Whatever his title is?

205 00:15:57.410 00:15:59.749 Hannah Wang: I don’t know, let’s see.

206 00:16:00.150 00:16:05.249 Uttam Kumaran: And then there’s another… there’s, like, another dude we talked… either way, like, I just wanna… we’ll just do a refresher.

207 00:16:10.500 00:16:14.889 Uttam Kumaran: blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah blah…

208 00:16:24.910 00:16:26.799 Holly Condos: I like the Google sign today.

209 00:16:29.380 00:16:32.810 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, this looks good, so let me, I’m just gonna hop…

210 00:16:34.450 00:16:42.310 Uttam Kumaran: And then… yeah, if everybody’s in a decent spot to be video on, that would be great. Yeah. And then, I’m just gonna… let me just work on…

211 00:16:43.400 00:16:46.570 Hannah Wang: multiply two as well. There’s two dues under your…

212 00:16:47.350 00:16:51.869 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, I’ll work on slide that, and then pitch and contextual. Alright, so I’ll be on in, like, just a minute.

213 00:16:52.400 00:16:53.590 Holly Condos: Sounds good. See ya.

214 00:16:53.590 00:16:54.880 Hannah Wang: Thank you, guys. Bye.
