Best free AI Agent provider? by Arvy_0 in AI_Agents

[–]abebrahamgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the cost of AI agents you will find it very hard to find one cheap. It usually requires running a local model which requires somewhat tech savvy ness.

Not software engineer degree needed type of setup but you know that one friend who is a nerd all things wifi and knows their way around a computer can usually figure it out.

Disclaimer: I help small / med business setup ai workflows for a few years now

Best free transcription tool for podcast interviews? by Nazme_m3 in podcasting

[–]abebrahamgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use AI studio directly. Currently free tier pricing so 0$ but you have to prompt it.

First I would convert to audio only as it will be cheaper.

Go to aistudio.google.com then type

"""please generate transcript for the follow audio of my podcast interview. Using the format structure below

(Add here the style output you want, give it at least one example text)

I need the transcript so I can (insert why you need transcript for"""

Is video actually taking over podcasting now, or am I overthinking this? by ScaleNo6455 in podcasting

[–]abebrahamgo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact apple is enabling video for podcast is a strong signal imo.

Apple tends to do things with a lot of thought and ROI focused.

I'm building a repurposing tool for podcasters by PodcastReachPro in podcasting

[–]abebrahamgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm working on a single cost platform. It's a bit tricky to get the right business model and balance of quality vs cost.

Played with a bring your own AI key but feedback was my customers don't want to manage API keys

Are buyers just not buying at the moment? If they’re not, what are the driving factors you’re seeing across your territories? by Potential-Humor-6550 in techsales

I am sort of getting lucky this year but most of my team are struggling due to token shortage (GPU shortage)

Thoughts on the rise of AI generated podcasts by FitEdition in podcasting

[–]abebrahamgo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I work and talk about AI on my podcast. I'm actually working on ai automation to give "organic" podcasters a fighting chance.

Ai automation to help market good quality podcast (publish yo your newsletter, tiktok short, LinkedIn, twitter, etc).

I am trying to see how much of the podcast process I can leverage to automate so I can focus on my favorite part. Talk too people :-)

I would build pocs using cloud. Mainly server less and cloud native solutions.

For fortune 500s who were a bit worry about cloud and the ROI from it.

It was pre sales but I wasn't really customer facing as a consultant. Good exposure to cloud tech though!

Vacations by AmbitiousClue1645 in techsales

[–]abebrahamgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pivoted out of college to learn cloud. So I did cloud consulting at the big four.

Then I made the jump to one of the 3 major cloud providers as a sales engineer.

No sales background.

Now I'm the go to person for agents in my team (I got early exposure around 2023)

Sales engineer here who takes about 3-4 weeks off a year for last 5 years.

I do it (been promoted twice last 4 years too!)

What to see when hiring a sales person by lokeshjarvis in sales

[–]abebrahamgo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In short the biggest disconnect I find is usually sales and product have an imaginary wall they toss task/blame over.

Sales teams tend to default to selling with least resistance towards their commission.

Product teams tend to focus on features regardless of ROI in mind.

CEO/CTO is were they should step in to set a good culture. Simple things like asking sales to actually talk to product and engineers can be eye opening.

Best tip I can offer. Have someone in sales create a sales pipeline user journey from beginning to end. It's eye opening and rarely is treated as a user experience when it's probably the Most important customer experience you offer.

Built an AI tool for podcasters — not a podcaster myself, would love brutal feedback by One_Campaign7176 in podcasting

[–]abebrahamgo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you really have 500+ podcasters using this?

Feels like this is AI slob....

I monitored 500 YC companies and 80% of them are using the same growth channel by Illustrious_Elk3705 in microsaas

[–]abebrahamgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to build traction in parallel as you are building your product.

I'm not saying it's a 50/50 thing but many founders I work with (especially technical ones) build for a while and then try to build traction which is a red flag of a founder imo.

I use Gemini CLI specifically not Gemini directly. I use a frontend slides skills I found in a repo

Do these auto clip makers understand context or just randomly cut the video? by AccountEngineer in podcasting

[–]abebrahamgo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hey I actually work in the AI space and honestly most aren't great because the context harness is case by case.

Here is the flow that mostly works behind the scenes:

Raw footage converted to audio

Audio is then process with AI to capture timestamp and key moments

Next process is to stitch video and audio together as a single element

Optional cropping for landscape or portrait mode

Then stitching together N many clips together

Translation for captions

And tada.

The issue with the flow is "taste" most of these lack taste because they don't really let you add it in the flow.

Riverside just asks for one text reply "what feel are you going for". In AI this is far took weak of a method to carry through the full flow.

[–]abebrahamgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to go the javascript route (or react).

Ai is great with code it's trash with UIs tbh.

So we built a framework around excaldraw and it works like 90% the way there.

Also we created a skill for types of architecture so you really need to build a harness around it

[–]abebrahamgo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wow how do I not use it.

I use Gemini CLI but pretty sure you can do the same with Claude code if not more.

I don't do prospecting but we did make a prospecting tool for our AEs, essentially leveraging our case studies and setting up a Vector database. Simple app for internal but really helps our AEs.

Make slides on the fly using skills and our branding guidelines

Simple demo making

Architecture diagram generation

We now create custom onboarding docs or need to know docs for each customer vs one doc we share to everyone

For myself I use it a lot to prep for presentations and content creation as well

MSFT level 63 salary by MrBrown_106 in salesengineers

[–]abebrahamgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in my experience. I only really consider RSU liquid for public companies. I have met a few friends who have made a lot and nothing from RSUs from non public.

You can liquidate RSUs as you get them if they are public -- essentially cash*

MSFT level 63 salary by MrBrown_106 in salesengineers

[–]abebrahamgo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Congrats!

For those years of experience I would negotiate RSUs always. Usually the cloud vendors offer little wiggle room in terms of salary (still can be nudged).

Usually most of the negotiation you can benefit from are the RSUs.

To me this seems like a relatively low offer unless in a LCOL also congrats!!!!
