I'm Drew. I take real AI-related questions from founders and business owners, and I tell you what's real, what's not, and what it would take to build. No hype. No doom.
Reading the feed…
Two people in one week asked Drew the same thing: can an AI answer inbound leads the instant they arrive — read the inquiry, reply intelligently, ask a smart question back, and log it — before the business owner even sees it? The short answer is yes, and Drew explains why it's one of the lower-hanging fruits in AI right now, citing the often-quoted MIT finding that replying within five minutes instead of thirty makes you dramatically more likely to reach and qualify a lead.

AI gets a script about 80% of the way; th
Can AI Replace Your Email Marketing Platform? (For Cheaper?)

This week I break down the three versions of that answer, walk through the exact setup I've used, and flag the stuff the savings pitch leaves out. What's covered: Why email platforms charge more as your list grows, and what you're actually paying them for (hint: it's deliv
