Your Customers Are Running Your Proposal Through AI
Jul 21, 20261h 5mS2
Send us Fan Mail Your buyers are already running your proposal through AI before you hear back. Tech entrepreneur Anthony Mittelmark unpacks what that means for anyone who sells anything. He breaks down generative engine optimisation: running your own products as prompts through ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini to see whether you turn up at all. Why 50 years of trading data may be worth nothing, while the messier patterns most businesses ignore could become a real asset. Why one tactical automation fix can quietly wreck profitability somewhere else. And why boards can't hand AI architecture to IT and hope for the best. Plus the 2030 exercise every leader should run now. Follow the Dumb Monkey Show for AI for business that actually pays for itself.

Most Businesses Use AI to Cut Costs. That's the Small Prize
Jul 16, 202658 minS2
Send us Fan Mail Most leaders treat AI as a cost-cutting exercise. Innovation Bay co-founder Phaedon Stough argues the bigger money sits on the other side of the ledger — using AI for business to lift top-line revenue without lifting headcount. Aamir Qutub and Phaedon get into what's actually working: sales teams doing more through AI automation instead of more hires, founders making faster calls off better information, and why Innovation Bay's aggregated job board is growing, not shrinking. They cover agents, defensibility, why the tools race changes weekly, and Phaedon's blunt take that founders who ignore AI may struggle to survive the next 24 months. Plus the farmer test every SME should apply before buying anything. Practical, occasionally uncomfortable, and useful whether you run a startup or a business that's been running for decades.

Your Wasted AI Compute Could Solve Real Problems (Agents for Humanity)
Jun 29, 202634 minS2
Send us Fan Mail Big enterprises sit on spare AI compute. What if that wasted capacity could solve real problems on the ground? Aamir Qutub and Steve Berg break down Agents for Humanity, the platform that won the UN AI for Good Australian heat and is now heading to Geneva. Post a problem, and hundreds of contributed AI agents research it, debate it, vote on the best fix, then build a full implementation pack you can actually use. They cover where the idea started, how it ran 40 pilots across five countries, and why they call it contribution, not donation. It's a practical look at artificial intelligence in business being aimed at real outcomes. Follow Dumb Monkey for more on AI that earns its keep.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
