Why talk to me
Everything you need for a story or an introduction: the angles, a bio to copy, quotes and photos.
Story angles
- AI agents are the new hire for small businessHow SMEs and franchisees give AI a real job with clear rules, not just prompts, and what goes wrong when they don't.
- The anomaly in Applied AINot from a tech hub, not from engineering. She built an AI agent team from regional Australia and launched it in New Zealand and the USA within four months.
- Hours eaten like popcornThe hidden cost of software sprawl and time leakage. She spent $17,000 in one year on tools before building her own.
Quotable
- "My team is AI. My board is AI. And I work for them."
- "Most people ask AI questions. Mine does the lifting, so I can do the human work."
- "The most expensive employee is the one who eats hours like popcorn."
- "Give your AI a job to do, not a prompt."
- "I spent $17,000 in a year on software before I accepted the system was broken."
