    EP 35 | With Sofiya Eremenko | Is a "Copilot" AI Better Than an "Autopilot" One?

    In this episode of What About AI Agents, host Philippe Trounev sits down with Sofiya Eremenko, founder of the agency Aimly, to discuss the practical, and sometimes surprising, reality of implementing AI at scale. Sofiya shares her hard-earned insights from working in the vibrant but complex GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region. She dives into her own "failure experience" with a client-facing AI agent that was meant to automate sales follow-ups. The key lesson? Cultural nuances and different dialects, like those found across the Arab world, are too complex for current AI models to handle effectively. Sofiya learned that a polite "Insha'Allah" from a client doesn't mean a follow-up is necessary—it can be a subtle "no." Instead of a full-automation "autopilot," Sofiya’s team found success by building an internal AI "copilot." This agent acts as a powerful knowledge base, helping sales managers quickly get complex product details without needing to consult with different teams. This system reduced the time to respond to a client from an entire day down to a single hour, proving that the most effective AI solutions often support human work rather than replace it. Tune in to hear more of Sofiya’s insights, including her advice on selling AI solutions by focusing on the "wow effect" of simple use cases and the critical importance of extensive testing to safeguard against unexpected outcomes.

    EP 34 | With Casey Marquette | Is AI Recruiting More Ethical Than Ghosting?

    In this episode of What About AI Agents, host Philippe Trounev sits down with Casey Marquette, CEO of Covenant HR, to explore a game-changing solution for the recruiting industry. Marquette, a former C-suite executive from tech giants like Cognizant and CVS Health, reveals how his company is tackling one of the biggest frustrations in hiring: the endless stream of unreviewed applications and the silent treatment candidates often receive.He introduces Scout, an AI agent so powerful it acts as an HR force multiplier. Imagine a recruiter that screens resumes in 2.2 seconds and works 24/7, ensuring every single applicant gets a fair shot. Marquette explains how Scout handles the entire recruiting cycle, from technical pre-screening to scheduling, freeing up human recruiters to focus on what they do best: building relationships.This isn't just about efficiency it's about a new, more ethical way to hire. Marquette addresses the skepticism around "talking to an AI" and argues that providing consistent, valuable feedback is far better than ghosting a candidate. Tune in to discover how Covenant HR is not only making recruiting faster and smarter but also more humane, proving that the future of hiring is here, and it's powered by AI.Want to be a guest on So What About AI Agents?
