Lead With AI

A family finds rats in their apartment and needs a new unit fast. A school district changes, and a household has to relocate. These requests used to sit in a queue for weeks or months while a housing authority worked through the math by hand. Bejoy Narayana built Bob.AI to close that gap, helping families get a voucher issued and matched to a new home in hours and days instead.In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Bejoy Narayana, Founder, CEO, and Product Architect of Bob.AI, about how the platform reads pay stubs and award letters to calculate housing assistance, keeps public housing authorities audit ready, and frees case managers to spend more time with families.Want to learn more about Bob.AI?

Executives are buried in email, meetings, and messages that pile up faster than anyone can sort them, and most teams cannot tell which ones actually matter. CEO & Co-Founder, Matt Francis built Herd AI, Inc to fix that, an AI platform that reads all of it and ranks it against a company's real objectives. One executive stopped working past seven at night and started finishing his most important work by early afternoon.In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Matt Francis about how Herd AI, Inc decides what deserves attention, why the platform turns its own AI scoring on and off to control cost, and how leadership teams cut through thousands of daily emails, meetings, and messages without adding new tools.Want to learn more about Herd AI, Inc? Visit getherd.ai to see how it works.

Understaffed teams end up cleaning floors, answering phones, and covering shifts built for two people. Albert Saunders Jr. saw it at a gas station with one exhausted employee doing four jobs at once, and built Neil AI Global Solutions to fix it. The company now runs 38 robots: cleaning machines, delivery robots that move up to 1,200 pounds, and AI voice agents answering phones around the clock. One warehouse needed 300,000 square feet swept daily. One robot has handled it ever since.In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Albert Saunders Jr. about the RaaS model that prices a robot as a weekly labor cost, the faith and family values guiding Neil AI, and its recognition as North Carolina's first Black-owned AI and robotics company. Albert also shares his boldest prediction for Neil AI by 2030.Want to learn more about Neil AI Global Solutions?

Most sleep trackers count hours. Jonathan "JB" Berent set out to measure something else: slow waves, the deep brain activity that actually restores the body overnight. He built NextSense, a pair of EEG-sensing earbuds that read brainwaves and use targeted sound to help extend that restorative stage of sleep. One early user, a menopausal investor who could barely sleep two hours at a stretch, became one of NextSense's first backers after weeks of real relief. Another user liked the earbuds enough to pass them along to his boss, the CEO of one of the world's largest consulting firms. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with JB Berent about the research project at Google's moonshot factory that became NextSense, how the earbuds translate raw brain signals into something the AI can act on, and why he built the company to run its algorithms locally instead of in the cloud. JB also shares his boldest prediction about AI and consciousness, and what he thinks brain-sensing wearables could look like a decade from now.
