  Sep 28, 202625 minS6

  AI wants to please you, which is why it makes things up when your idea is truly new. On this 74th episode of the Scale You podcast, Le-an sat down with Adrian Gauna, founder of Gold Root Solutions, an AI automation agency in South Florida, to talk about human in the loop AI and building systems for local businesses. Adrian's AI agents run patent searches for independent inventors, a job that can cost $600 to $1,800 with attorneys. Every report gets a human check before it reaches a client, with a one-hour delivery window built around that review. After 20 years as the outside consultant, he keeps his stack simple: Claude Code, Docker, and Postgres. If you run an agency, build AI systems for clients, or wonder how far to trust an AI agent, this one's for you! Watch now to hear how a human gate keeps AI reports accurate before they reach a client. ✨ Connect with Adrian here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/goldrootsolutions https://www.youtube.com/@GoldRootSolutions https://goldrootsolutions.com Let's connect: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leanlailacaba Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leanlailacaba LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leanlailacaba TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@leanlailacaba Website: https://2xyou.com/
