November 10 How Plenums Lab Uses Multiple AI Agents to Debate and Evaluate Ideas (with Evan Khanna)
Testing an idea usually means gathering people to challenge it, which costs time or money. Evan Khanna wanted an instant way to debate his own decisions without hiring anyone or waiting on friends. He built Plenums Lab, where independent AI agents debate a question across different models while an AI moderator and judge weigh the arguments and deliver a decision.
In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Evan about how Plenums Lab grew out of a theory he calls the multi-model approach, why he named the project after a plenum, an assembly of different voices, and how a high school teacher used it to help decide if she should restructure her staff.
Evan also explains how he can choose cheaper models for a quick read or stack up to thirty for a deeper debate, why he built ethics guardrails into the system from the start, and where he sees the underlying debate engine heading next, including research into why AI models disagree in the first place.

November 03 Making Employment Law Accessible to Small Businesses with SixFifty (with Kimball Parker)
OpenAI and Anthropic can afford the best employment lawyers in the country. Most small businesses cannot. Kimball Parker, Founder and CEO of SixFifty, built an AI platform that puts law firm grade employment materials, developed with Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, within reach of small and mid-sized businesses.
In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Kimball about how SixFifty tracks employment law across states, cities, and counties, then uses AI to answer compliance questions, draft employee handbooks, and build hiring paperwork. One customer asked a question in Japanese and got an accurate answer back in the same language, a small proof of how far the platform’s reach goes. Kimball also discusses SixFifty’s new agentic HR features, which can send a handbook out for signature and file state paperwork on their own, and what the company’s acquisition by Paychex means for small businesses.

October 27 How Labrynth Uses AI to Help Businesses Navigate Regulatory Red Tape (with Stuart Lacey)
Regulatory complexity can slow projects, delay infrastructure, and make it harder for businesses to know what to fix first. Stuart Lacey, Founder and CEO of Labrynth, is building AI services designed to help organizations navigate rules-heavy processes while keeping human oversight in the loop.
In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Stuart about how Labrynth combines AI, machine learning, and human review to help businesses move through complex workflows. He explains how the Red Tape Index measures regulatory friction, why he built an index before pitching a solution, and how the Data Center Readiness Index maps factors such as power availability, water access, permitting, and public sentiment.
Stuart also discusses Labrynth’s joint-venture model, the limits of autonomous AI agents, and why deterministic results and independent data matter in regulated environments. He shares his view that trust will shape AI adoption and explains why energy availability will influence the next phase of AI infrastructure.

October 20 Unveiling Lava, the AI Teammate That Gets Work Done Across Your Business Tools (with Mitchell Jones)
Most AI agents still act like a brand-new employee, clicking through screens and tripping security blocks before they get anything done. Mitchell Jones built Lava to skip that. The platform puts an AI agent directly inside the tools a business already runs, including Slack and legacy ERPs. One customer used it to set up an entire Shopify store from a coffee shop in under an hour.
In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Mitchell Jones, Founder and CEO of Lava, about why most AI agents stall at the login screen, how Lava's connectors call tools directly instead, and why teams should not have to learn anything new to use AI. Mitchell also shares how a solopreneur used Lava to run her first print mailer campaign without hiring outside help.

October 13 This AI-Powered Health Platform Finds Disease Risk Before You Even Get Sick (with Dr. Michael Doney)
Most people only think about their health after something feels wrong. Dr. Michael Doney (MD, MPH, MS) the Executive Medical Director at Biograph, built a precision diagnostics and preventive medicine platform that pairs advanced testing with AI to flag chronic disease risk years earlier. One patient with no outward symptoms and a low conventional risk score turned out to have a critical arterial blockage, caught early enough for a stent within a week.
In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Dr. Michael Doney about how Biograph uses AI across diagnostic imaging, clinical efficiency, and clinical reasoning, why years of personal data can surface patterns a single checkup cannot, and why a human physician still makes every final call.

October 06 This AI Coaches Sales Calls in Real Time Without the Buyer Ever Knowing (with Pianpian Xu Guthrie)
Most sales calls turn on one moment: the objection nobody prepped for. Pianpian Xu Guthrie built Amotions AI to help sellers handle it while the call is happening. The platform privately shows the seller what to say next, without ever joining the call itself. One hearing care practice, House of Hearing, reported a $160,000 jump in monthly sales company-wide.
In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Pianpian about the sociology behind her approach to emotional intelligence, why she keeps sellers in the driver's seat with AI coaching them live, and how a new insurance agent learned to handle objections with confidence.

September 29 Viome Reads Your RNA to Tell You Exactly What to Eat (with Guruduth Banavar)
Most health advice is generic, built for a body that does not exist. Guruduth Banavar built Viome to fix that, using RNA sequencing and AI to map what is happening in a person's gut and biology, then turning that picture into recommendations built for their own chemistry. One customer followed those recommendations through a serious illness and saw his biological age reportedly drop 12 years in nine months.
In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Guruduth Banavar about how Viome reads RNA to track biology over time, why it treats human and microbial genes as one connected system, and why a food generally considered healthy still showed up as a problem in Guru's own results.

September 22 Chomp: Using AI to Map What People Really Think (with Kiko Zang)
Most people scroll past an opinion they disagree with instead of saying so. Kiko Zang, CEO and Co-Founder of Chomp, built a daily question game to capture what people think. Players answer honestly, guess how everyone else answered, and then compare results. One early question asked players to rate "I love you" in month one of dating as a green flag or a red flag. 92.7% privately picked a green flag, while most guessed only half the room would agree.
In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Kiko about the gap between what people post and what they privately believe, how Chomp's format measures it, and why she sees the data as a resource for AI models learning human judgment. She also explains why she rebuilt Chomp for a mainstream audience after starting on crypto.

September 15 How Bob.AI Speeds Up Housing Assistance to Help Families Stay Housed (with Bejoy Narayana)
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.

September 08 Herd AI, Inc Reads Your Emails, Meetings, and Messages So You Know What to Work On (with Matt Francis)
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.
