Welcome to NextGen AI Technologies!

In this episode of the Auto Hub Show, host Ian Nethercott sits down with Denis Dreni, founder of NextGen AI, to explore how agentic AI is reshaping the future of business in 2026 and beyond.

Denis explains why the next wave of AI isn’t about prompts or tools—but about autonomous AI team members that work alongside humans to eliminate inefficiencies, scale operations, and unlock real ROI. The discussion dives into real-world use cases, implementation timelines, and how companies can safely and strategically adopt AI without disrupting their teams.

This episode is essential viewing for automotive leaders, dealership owners, and business executives preparing for the next generation of AI-powered operations.
