Abed Elsamna - What are AI Agents and should you use them for your business?

Update: 2025-09-29

Description

Are you letting AI work for your wedding business, or is it still just a mysterious buzzword? What if an intelligent agent could answer leads, schedule appointments, and handle objections—without you lifting a finger? In this episode, I interview Abed Elsamna to break down exactly what AI agents are (and aren’t), how they’re different from chatbots, and why they’re about to transform how you run your business. What pain points could you solve by handing off repetitive tasks? And are you ready for a world where every lead gets instant, personalized attention—while you focus on what actually sets you apart?

Listen to this new episode for real-world scenarios, key differences between AI agents and chatbots, and a look at the future of automating your sales process—without losing your personal touch.
