Is it helping or hurting your cause right now that Pulsia is AI slop backwards?

I think that, like, the fact that it makes people talk so much I think is amazing.

Some call him a scammer. Others say he'll be the first one-man, $1 billion startup, but either way, Ben Sarah has been the talk of the town in tech.

You know, the users that are loving the platform, like, they, they love it, right? They are, they're empowered to start building companies in general for the first time.

Pulsia is his AI startup that claims to run your entire company for you, and Pulsia just raised $30 million for itself from some big name investors seemingly with little input from Ben.

But the reality is today, nobody owns this market, and I think that's why people are talking about it in a good way and a bad way because it's like, is it good? Is it bad? You know, there's a debates, right, around. And I think that's when you touch a nerve, right?

Is this thing vaporware or the AI COO in a box that empowers the next stage of entrepreneurship? We get into it all. Welcome to Access. [gentle music] Ben, welcome to the show. Uh, I was worried that you weren't going to show up because your AI CEO is seemingly handling all of your emails as well.

Yeah.

What, what makes it through? Because I feel like when I've tried AI EAs, they don't really know what's important even though they all say they do. [laughs]

So the thing is, like, it's, so that, that specific Pulsia agent that answers my emails, which is connected to the whole Pulsia code base actually, um, that was the, the idea of, like, Pulsia raising the round. And so I connected to my email, and it would answer every investor's email, uh, every due diligence questions, like, sort of, like, handle all the conversations completely autonomously. But, uh, it al- it would also reply to anyone else who was contacting me, and I thought it was pretty nice because I was so overwhelmed with emails and, like, I couldn't-- I don't have time to build a product and answer everyone. And so I was like, it's kind of nice actually that ev- every-- people get a response at least, right? They say, "Hey, Ben's busy," but, like, and sometimes this, sometimes it sort of answers the question if it's, like, a product question or, like, a... And I do see, I don't some- I don't always see the response. I only see the response when the person responds again,
