Description
AI that actually delivers.
Vinod Kumar, CEO & Co-Founder of Syntheum AI, joins host Adam W. Barney to talk about clarity, discipline, and why most brands chase paid ads before they’ve earned the right. From building agentic AI tools for merchandisers to pioneering the idea of being “seed-strapped,” Vinod shares how founders can scale smarter without burning budgets.
In this episode of Is Anything Real in Paid Advertising?, we cover:
- How AI merchandising agents are changing the way e-commerce brands work
