This is the first episode of The Web and The World Podcast 🥳, and boy are we excited for it.

Entrepreneurs Sean Blagsvedt and Archana Prasad join the pod to talk about their company Gooey.AI. We discuss the state of AI generally, and how their company is attempting to democratize access to artificial intelligence for a large range of uses, including to help farmers in the Global South find useful information and improve their work. Join to learn how this is “not the ostrich moment” to hide from AI!
