ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Most “customer feedback” is broken in a predictable way: we hear from the loudest users, the angriest reviews, and the happiest edge cases, then we call it insight. Kevin Kerner sits down with Malinda Sandman, VP and head of global marketing at Typeform, to unpack how modern teams can escape squeaky wheel bias and finally understand what customers think at scale and why they think it.
We get into Typeform’s evolution from a form builder into an AI powered customer feedback and qualitative research platform, including Research Flow and the broader push to help marketers, product teams, and researchers move from data collection to decision making. Malinda shares how Typeform thinks about human-first design in a world flooded with AI marketing tools, and why “asking like a human” still matters even more when an AI moderator is helping run the conversation.
One of the biggest takeaways is the case for voice and video as the next generation of voice of customer research. We talk transcript data, emotional nuance, adaptive follow-up questions, and why video-based responses can drive dramatically higher feedback and longer engagement than text.
Then we zoom out to go-to-market strategy: SMB versus enterprise motions, faster experimentation with tools like Claude, prototyping and A/B testing, on-site chatbots that tighten the funnel, and how MCP style integrations could reshape product discovery inside LLM workflows.
If you care about AI workflows for marketers, customer research, product marketing messaging, and practical SaaS go-to-market strategy, this conversation will give you new angles to test.

TRANSCRIPT 🔗
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.080
You're getting one piece of feedback, right?
00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:04.240
You're not getting feedback at scale.
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:10.400
And so the squeaky wheel bias, the challenge is you may be let listening to the loudest voice or like customer reviews, right?
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:17.280
You're listening typically customers write a review because they either absolutely love something or absolutely hate something, right?
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:23.199
And you're some, you know, not necessarily getting what does your market at scale, what does your customer at scale really think about that.
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:30.480
Um, and that does where research flow is really solving that for marketers is being able to give this context at scale.
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:44.799
So you get the, you still get the quantitative and your ability to be really confident in the um, I think the scale and where this direct, where the feedback is going, but then you get all that rich context to say, okay, I see what's happening in the data, but I don't understand why.
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.119
Hey everyone, this is Tech Marketing Rewired, and I'm your host, Kevin Kerner.
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.759
My guest today is Malinda Sandman, VP and head of global marketing at Typeform.
00:00:53.759 --> 00:01:03.840
Typeform has been one of the most recognizable names in form for a decade, trusted by over 150,000 customers and 95% of the Fortune 500.
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:14.159
Malinda's leading the push into AI now with two new products out in the last two months and getting the market to see Typeform as more than the form builder that they already know.
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.120
This one's part of the Pass the Pilot series.
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:24.799
Um, it's a series where we ask senior marketers what they're doing now that AI experiments are over, and Malinda answered that quite well.
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:25.920
So this is a fun one.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:26.799
Let's get into it.
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:28.879
This is Tech Marketing Rewired.
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:37.359
Malinda, great to have you here.
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:38.319
Thanks for joining.
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:39.439
Great to be here.
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.799
Thanks for having me, Kevin.
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:45.599
Yeah, I was very excited to talk to you, as you know, from the couple conversations that we've had.
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:47.760
I am a big typeform fan.
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.599
I know you guys have been around forever.
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:56.319
And you know, it's just really interesting nowadays, like like voice and data is context.
00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:05.120
And it's it's the more um information I can get, even transcript data or forms and those type of things, it just becomes so useful.
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:12.400
I don't know in your daily workflow, but in mine, I'm always like hitting the download MD file button on everything these days.
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.840
AI has has completely changed the game.
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:22.639
That that's um on the ability, I think, to be able to get that that rich context on everything.
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:23.520
So same.
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:29.039
It it's the how do I get as much information as possible and then figure out how to get the those quick insights.
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:30.560
Yeah, and making it easy.
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:31.599
So you guys have done some of that.
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:37.439
So I've followed you guys since you launched probably in the tens of 2012, I think or so.
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.800
150,000 customers, maybe more at this point, 95% of the Fortune 500.
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:52.400
It's such a cool heritage brand that was began as a Google form, better Google Forms, and now it's it's sort of building into new things.
00:02:52.400 --> 00:03:01.199
I'd love your take on the market environment you're playing in, how things have changed um in some of the new stuff that you're you guys are announcing just now.
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:02.719
Yeah, absolutely.
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:09.520
Um, I mean, the market has changed so dramatically, I think even in the past, um, even in the past month, right?
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:10.080
It it changed.
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:10.800
Yeah, right.
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:11.599
Yeah.
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:27.599
So uh but I think I think that our vision, um, you know, and I think our heritage uh is still so relevant to to marketers and to businesses, you know, ultimately it's around um the heart of how do you get closer to your customers?
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:32.080
Um, you know, so one of our beliefs is when asking feels human, people share better answers.
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:43.199
And I think kind of that belief and that philosophy is so um so much as the heart of this kind of human first design, the conversational forms that typeform innovated.
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:51.280
Um, but it goes back to the end of the day, the job to be done and the use case and how we can help marketers, businesses, right?
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.639
A whole host of researchers, product managers, right?
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:59.199
A whole host of different um roles in companies be able to get closer to their customers.
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:00.639
Like that ethos is still there.
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:11.599
And now, with what has happened with what AI can do, um, it just allows us to now grow in our um applicability and use cases to these customers.
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:16.720
Um and in kind of in two ways in particular, like so um I've been at Typeform since August.
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:23.439
So I'm almost at a year, and it's been great to kind of really dig in there and see, you know, what are people really using Typeform for?
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.519
And kind of the two things that keep coming up.
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.959
Um, customer feedback is one of our biggest use cases.
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:39.040
Um and so that's been kind of as we've been evolving, is really thinking around now what's available, because obviously in 2012 um and even a few years ago, right, that this wasn't available.
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:45.120
What can we now do to be able to supercharge customer feedback for our customers?
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.000
Um, the other one would be kind of lead gen, right?
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.160
And how do you kind of grow your customer base?
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:55.040
Um, and that's also been a big application to really just be more to our customers.
00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:03.360
Um on the research flow side, um, from a product perspective, I mean, that market seems to be a something that's growing.
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:09.439
And there are quite a few AI moderated sort of qualitative research companies that are out.
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:23.839
Um so now you have, you know, you're in this research flow uh space, qualitative research space, and you're competing with these AI native companies that are coming out, even though you have the you have the install base, which is great.
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:37.040
I'm really curious, like as a CMO, how you're thinking about the levers that you pull to I guess compete with that market dynamic, especially with all these AI native companies coming into this stuff.
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:42.879
So I think that is a competitive advantage and how we think about kind of how do we position ourselves against these AI native companies.
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:50.560
But yeah, it is it is definitely a it is a great opportunity and a great challenge to think about how do we approach this in a different way, right?
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.519
We're not we're um founded in Barcelona.
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.759
We have a globally distributed workforce.
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.360
Um so we're not, you know, a Silicon Valley in native tech company.
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:04.480
But I think that gives us um a real advantage to come one, to come to the market.
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.120
And like you said, we have this incredible customer base.
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.079
Um, we've been around for a while, we have that brand recognition.
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:14.240
So it's that blessing and that curse to be able to now evolve and change perception.
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.360
Um, but still really granted in what are people using typeform for?
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:18.639
Right.
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:26.240
And so it's that it's that next step of these incredible forums and surveys, right, and quizzes that get you access to this data.
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:32.079
But now we can take it a step further and be able to really democratize access to that context.
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:33.920
It's such a missed thing.
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:37.759
So many people miss on the product side and the product marketing side, the research angle.
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.199
Like they go right into the product.
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.199
It's like, oh, we we have a great idea.
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.319
So many people don't go like the research angle.
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:50.800
It seems like you guys would, because you your uh you know, forms generally are used for research.
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.639
And so it kind of leads you in that direction.
00:06:52.639 --> 00:07:08.720
But what's it are there any interesting things that you found in the research that drove you in a direction from a marketing perspective, either messaging perspective or channel perspective, um, ICP, like anything that you found that was surprising or maybe even solidified the path you were going down?
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.879
Honestly, we are in this iteration phase right now.
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:18.560
So uh we launched it in beta in May as part of our spring release.
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.920
Um, and so right now we so we have our hypotheses.
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.879
Um and you know, that's actually the some of the fun part is like we are using the product on our own.
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:34.079
We were actually, I I just met with my team and we were talking around creating a messaging house for Research Flow.
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:41.439
And I asked, can we, I'm assuming we can use Research Flow to be able to go out and see right what's really reconating.
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.040
Um and that really, and and so we we kind of laughed.
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:46.000
We're like, absolutely.
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:57.040
Um, and um I I think that's where, you know, when you talk about kind of the unlock for marketers, um, I've always been a lot of my background is more on the the web and more on kind of the product conversion funnel.
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:08.959
Um so I've I've sat really close with a lot of product teams and a lot of uh UX designers and researchers, and this ability now to be able to unlock this um combination of qualitative and quantitative.
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.720
So the work that I've done in my past is how do you use kind of the qualitative?
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:18.720
How do you get really close to what your customers, you you've got maybe five different hypotheses, narrow it down, right?
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.040
And then you can get into A-B experimentation.
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:38.159
Um, that's where I I think that kind of thought process and that methodology is what I'm kind of bringing to the marketing team and thinking around, all right, how do we now, we can even use our own product now to be able to get more of that contextual insights and then be able to go and test it from a quantitative perspective as well.
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:47.600
Um, but yeah, we're in terms of kind of how we're thinking of it, um, you know, it feels very meta in that we're using our own product to be able to how we want to go to market.
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.519
Um, but that's really where we're.
00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:54.399
We are we have a hypothesis of um kind of really two core ICPs.
00:08:54.399 --> 00:09:04.000
Um, and now what we're trying to do is trying to just get as much kind of signal and confirmation of, you know, does one side is one ICP more valuable than the other?
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:05.440
Where is this market in general?
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:14.960
And then also kind of looking competitively at where the other kind of AMO research tools are going and and who else is also in our base um that's you know historically using type form.
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:22.159
Yeah, it's really uh I think we on the pre-call, I was talking about how we use voice data quite a bit now, transcript data.
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:29.840
Of course, we're using we're using maybe a Google Doc that has questions in it, but we would rather get the voice data than the typed data.
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:35.519
And I know you guys have video ask and you have all these other ways you can the AI can ask you the next question.
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:42.159
But when you're in code, it's better to download that very vast transcript and MD file.
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:48.240
Like if we put our transcript here into something, it's gonna be better than me sending you a form that has you type out.
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:55.039
And I just cure I'm curious whether that I wonder how many people are know that yet.
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.600
Do they really like our market do marketers know that?
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.240
Is it better to get boy, you know, the rich transcript?
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.039
Coders know it, you know, developers know it for sure.
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.279
Great question and call out.
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:22.480
I that is um what we are absolutely seeing in some of kind of our early data and what I think we know of, like you said, with with video ask and with um in our growth flow product having the ability to do the the um the video assisted forums, we see that in the effectiveness for our customers.
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:28.080
So some of you know the early data that we're seeing is by having the video aspect of research flow, right?
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:34.080
And having this AI moderator ask the questions in um in in voice and video versus in text.
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:40.240
We're seeing about four and a half times more feedback per question in in video versus text.
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:40.559
Yeah.
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:47.360
Also that kind of nuance of then what do you get from kind of the emotional insight and how do you get more of that nuanced context?
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.559
Um, so we're seeing about three times the amount of insight there.
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.639
And then probably more than anything else, the engagement is twice as long as a service.
00:10:54.639 --> 00:11:07.440
Um, so right, we have the ability to kind of pull someone in, and I think that's that is the the form could get you there, but then this next level with having the AI um moderator is the AI moderator can change, right?
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:22.879
And can the next nuanced question as the interview keeps going to kind of keep that engagement out and really dig to the surface or dig deep into what truly is going on here to get, you know, the market or the product manager, the research, right, the right amount of context that they need.
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:24.159
Yeah, love it.
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:25.440
Yeah, it's like rambling.
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:28.240
I think I mentioned on the pre-call too the idea of rambling.
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.919
Like rambling is a thing that we're told not to do, and I do it a lot.
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:39.440
But when you're good, just when we tell our clients when they're when they're um doing uh transcript for us, we're not gonna watch the video.
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.279
We're just gonna listen to the words.
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:49.600
So so be as ramble as much as you want, as awkward as you want, because you'll this video will never get seen, and it's really good context for us.
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:50.320
So rich.
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:51.120
It's really rich.
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:55.519
Um, I wonder, um, so you needed to message these new products.
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:56.320
They're just coming out.
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.840
So I did I I guess I had forgotten that um research flow is just in um May.
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:08.559
That's uh how did you just let's let me take me through the thought process of how you message them?
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.440
How did because there's so much AI messaging out there?
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.960
How did you how did you come up with messaging for the site?
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.720
You knew how many site are you added to the site, uh Webflow site.
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:24.240
I'd just be curious about your process to get messaging, at least the first level of messaging aligned.
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:30.799
Yeah, yeah, the first level, um, so that that definitely was going out and trying to test with some audiences.
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:35.440
Um, but really I think that kind of builds on our heritage, right?
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:43.279
And our ability to, we know what the most valuable use cases were for typeform using our um heritage products.
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:51.360
So if you're using form builders, how are our existing customers using form builders surveys, quizzes, right, to be able to get that data.
00:12:51.360 --> 00:13:02.480
So I think we were able to see um, you know, through different case studies that we had, through different customer um testimonials, how were they using typeform and what were they really trying to accomplish?
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.200
And then basically building on top of that, right?
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:14.720
What was um and we we had a fair amount of messaging that we could leverage from um we launched growth flow in a couple different iterations over the last couple of years.
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:21.919
Um, and we also had launched Typeform AI, um, which kind of is that underpinning across everything.
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:27.279
Um and so we launched that kind of in earnest um in GA last fall.
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:31.039
So that was like that was our first big product release um since joining form.
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:51.600
And so I think as we were getting um kind of feedback and seeing what was resonating, seeing what was resonating in some of our paid media, seeing what was resonating across the website and seeing kind of where we were getting whether it was interaction or maybe we were getting better signups and conversion of how we message type form AI, we almost like fused those together in a lot of ways, thinking of that.
00:13:51.600 --> 00:14:00.879
Um, but I agree with you where we've debated this a lot is how do you um how do you make sure that you don't go too AI heavy?
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:14.240
And I think it's been really important for the entire marketing creative team to really continue to sit with our brand differentiation and and what um what customers right and the market kind of expects from typeform is that is that human-first interaction.
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:21.600
Um we actually even we had released um a study um about how marketers feel about AI um earlier in the year.
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:39.840
And I think even taking some of that feedback, right, and continuing to have that context when we think about reaching that marketer ICP of how they're feeling about AI, then really pressure testing our messaging and positioning against the emotional uh, you know, perception and how AI is helping them in their um in their job daily, but then what are they also afraid of?
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.960
And then thinking around how to kind of bridge that connection with research flow.
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:47.519
Cause ultimately is about, well, you know, how do you give marketers this context?
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:55.360
Um, you know, one thing um that we talked a little bit is like this the squeaky wheel bias that I think all marketers can can fall into.
00:14:55.360 --> 00:15:00.960
Um, you know, I think we're we're kind of trained to be to be as close to our customer as possible, right?
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.600
And so you want to be able to talk to customers.
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:12.159
Um, I know it's always been a big thing that I've I've seen in in multiple roles that I've been in, you know, the the leadership is like I sit down with a customer weekly and I talk to the customer.
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:14.320
You're getting one piece of feedback, right?
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:16.559
You're not getting feedback at scale.
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:22.639
And so the squeaky wheel advice, the challenge is you may be listening to the loudest voice or like customer reviews, right?
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:29.600
You're listening typically customers write a review because they either absolutely love something or absolutely hate something, right?
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:35.519
And you're some, you know, not necessarily getting what does your market at scale, what does your customer at scale really think about that.
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:42.799
Um, and that does where research flow is really solving that for marketers is being able to give this context at scale.
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:51.679
So you get the, you still get the quantitative and your ability to be really confident in the um, I think the scale and where this direct, where the feedback is going.
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:57.120
But then you get all that rich context to say, okay, I see what's happening in the data, but I don't understand why.
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:04.799
And I think that's the the game changer with marketers being able to use Research Flow is to really understand the why and to make better decisions there.
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:07.360
Um, so we're we're also trying to think about that, right?
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:23.039
As we're kind of looking at all of the data we have across, whether it's you know, releasing typeform AI and growth flow, how do we think about how you know how our customers are using typeform and kind of I mean we can use AI right to and research flow to kind of mass all the other and sit there and say, how do we actually now go to market um in a way that's gonna resonate?
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:25.200
Yeah, it's really yeah, it's really important.
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:36.720
And you're right, it's a very human, you have a very human brand from the beginning, you know, one question at a time and how the the the the it's not about just AIing everything, it's that enablement piece.
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.720
Um it's it's interesting the surface where you can engage with the product.
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:41.440
I don't know.
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:49.440
I didn't look deep enough into it, but is there an MCP or any access that I can get to typeform data through Claude or any other LLM?
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:50.159
Yes.
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:52.240
So we are actively working on that.
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:53.759
Um that's a big strategy for us.
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:54.639
So stay tuned.
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:54.960
Yeah.
00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:00.799
Um you know, in general, that's obviously a big strategy for us for discoverability, right?
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.759
And and you know, customer awareness and acquisition.
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:10.240
Um, so yes, that's that's something where um I think we have uh our product team is very um attuned to that.
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:16.240
And so we've been working closely between product and marketing to say, okay, what is the best use cases and how do we bring this to market as quickly as possible?
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.160
Yeah, yeah, I think that's that's common.
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:33.440
I mean, there's so many brands that I learn from through in a coding session, you know, actually in it, I'm asking, look, I need an email platform, or I need a database platform, or I need a form generator or whatever, or I need a research assistant.
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.839
And it will, there's some brands like resend is a great example for email.
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.480
They've figured out a way, it's super base for database.
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:43.279
They've figured out a way to get the coding agent to mention you.
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:55.599
And I think there's something really powerful about the back-end tables you have of survey data and research data and being able to query that in a surface that's not the application itself, but in Claude or something like that.
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:57.440
It seems like where the future's going.
00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:58.559
Absolutely.
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:01.440
Um I was gonna ask about the site.
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.279
The site's great, it's beautiful.
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:04.640
Um, the new products on there.
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:08.079
You had you do have a um little chat box.
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:10.319
I think it's TY is called, ask TY.
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:13.440
Um and I was wondering how that's working for you.
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:14.480
What's what's fueling it?
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:15.599
Is that tied into sales?
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:20.319
Does it work to have one of those on the site, especially as early as you are on some of these products?
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:24.720
Um, that is also a relatively recent development.
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:40.079
Um and I would say I I have history in this, and I I think that's a good uh tie into thinking around also the um what have been kind of all the different kind of tools available to marketers and and how I think my um AI and kind of research flow kind of changes that.
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.480
Um so yes, so very early days.
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:48.799
So that it's really thinking around um how is the customer behavior in terms of shopping for.
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:50.319
So I think we talked about MCPs, right?
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:55.200
Is gonna, I think, really disrupt um how um our customers are using the product.
00:18:55.200 --> 00:19:00.559
I think that's also what how our customers are discovering, researching, finding out, right?
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:07.920
Education, educating around products, um, definitely seeing that the chatbots help to kind of uh tighten the funnel a lot.
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.599
And so that actually is for both um self-serve reasons.
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:17.759
So, you know, instead of browsing potentially maybe a couple pages, it's a way to really, you know, aggregate.
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.440
So it's to have your own kind of AI agent right on the site to say, okay, you have this question.
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:25.039
Let me aggregate this information for you and um share it up to you.
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.519
Or yeah, um, being able to connect you with sales.
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:34.720
Um and I feel like that's it's a pretty common and you know paradigm now across the the different um the the SaaS websites.
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:46.400
But um yeah, I think that's that actually was kind of an early application, I think, of of how you know I I had been using AI in in previous um roles is we had all this rich data from the chatbots.
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:46.880
Yeah.
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:56.079
So, you know, it's a combination of um, you know, you could you could, as a marketer, when you're trying to get closer to your customer, you can sit on a lot of calls, you know, with the sales team, right?
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:57.200
Talking to customers.
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:01.119
You know, that's changed a lot of times in terms of all the tools to be able to aggregate it.
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:10.720
Um, you can do the same thing in terms of how you're seeing on the self-serve funnel, you know, what's happening on the chatbot and being able to get you more web data, or maybe there's a web intercept, you can consolidate it.
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:14.319
But I think then research flow basically puts it all in kind of one tool.
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:16.480
And then you can action off of it too.
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:21.680
Um, so it's just kind of incredible how much, how much richer, right, all of this context is.
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:28.480
Um, now our challenge is gonna be, you know, how do we then how do we now act on it and how do we kind of consolidate?
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:31.920
And you want to you want to talk a little bit about kind of like workflows and things like that as well.
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:36.000
Um yeah, it's it's incredible how much it's changed only in a couple of years.
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:37.279
Yeah, it's really amazing.
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:45.839
And there's so much context because you do have now you have your chat bot, you got the research data that you have, you have your gong data or however else you capture the sales data.
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:51.519
There's just so much in it now uh that sort of gives a lot more context.
00:20:51.519 --> 00:21:01.759
And then pulling that all together and making something, you know, useful out of it is really you know, that's the challenge, you know, and doing it quick and making the right decisions as a human.
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:04.079
Um I'm wondering where oh, go ahead.
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:04.319
Go ahead.
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:17.759
Oh, I was gonna say, I think the, you know, the other thing that um when you say kind of we have so much data, right, is it's also then, you know, how do you lean on the right or how do you have the right type of training to be able to know what to do with that data.
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:35.599
Um I think, you know, when I was talking around kind of our our our research team and kind of our philosophy at typeform too, um, I think the the difference between having kind of tool versus thinking, all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna have kind of different data and different context in different places, and then how do I consolidate and how do I um how do I listen to it?
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:51.039
Kind of back to that that squeaky wheel biases, even if you're consolidating through, you know, through AI using kind of all of those different um pieces of information, where where do I actually see um the spikes, right?
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:53.839
And where do I think about kind of the qualitative and quantitative?
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:59.759
So I think having that kind of expert research guidance built in is gonna be that next level for marketers.
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:02.319
Who are not researchers, right?
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:09.039
To be to figure out where is the context that I do want to listen to versus where is maybe something that's not statistically significant.
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:10.160
Yeah, that's real.
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:11.200
That's super interesting.
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:17.839
We work in the supply chain space a bunch and they have control tower-esque language when they talk about the supply chain.
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:20.880
Something goes wrong here and it spikes and then this thing happens here.
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:26.400
That same type of need, really, probably even more so is needed in research because we're not professional researchers.
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:30.240
We don't know the I don't know what statistically is valid.
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:37.039
So if you if there's some way to enable that using the AI, which I'm sure there is, especially nowadays, um that's really useful.
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:38.480
I actually hadn't thought of it.
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:44.799
I was I think people are just so used to just chatting with the thing um and getting the answer.
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:52.400
Uh, but it's almost like a skill-based, you know, tell tell me when something spikes and something's useful for me.
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:54.720
That's a really that's a really good use case.
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:55.839
I hadn't thought of.
00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:01.359
What's the um what's the what's next on the agenda for you as a CMO as you get these product launched?
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:08.079
Like as you look down the next next six months as you're getting the things launched, what's on your agenda?
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:12.880
This be helpful for people to hear that might be launching products that are in market now.
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:13.759
You now what?
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:21.759
I I mean, Kevin, the work to be done now is to really show the market that Typeform is not the typeform that they've expected, right?
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:23.200
The typeform that they know.
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:26.480
Um, you know, and that and it's really kind of getting there and telling our story.
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:37.759
So, you know, I think I think tactically it's around we still want to make sure, right, that we're serving this um, you know, incredible customer base with our best in class conversational, like human, human first forms.
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.400
But now it's the you can do more, right?
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:48.640
And so we want to make sure that um, you know, we get across that message of the form is still so important to running your business.
00:23:48.640 --> 00:24:11.759
And you know, what that means is like, right, the data intake is is key, but now you can you can act on all that data within type form in a variety of different ways, whether it's I'm gonna grow my business and I'm gonna do lead gen and enrichment um and be able to do automations through GoFlow, or then you know, with what you talked about with research flow, I can take all of that data and now make decisions and I can even act on some of those decisions within typeform.
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:18.319
Um, you know, the research flow can create um a highlight reel for you to share with like leadership.
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:20.960
Like as a marketer if you're in a bigger company, that's cool.
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:23.680
I've done this and now I can go share this highlight reel.
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:26.559
Or I can get a smart we're working on a deck.
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:33.759
So, you know, in terms of kind of like thinking about the roadmap and where this goes, it just continues to be more and more um all in one.
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.680
You know, uh, one of the things we've talked about is like an insights deck, right?
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.200
And so once how does research flow will just create this here.
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:43.200
You go, ready to go, insights.
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:53.440
Um, and so the time, both like you know, feeling like the marketer has now you really feel confident in your decision, then you also have freed up time not to go work on other strategies, right?
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:56.160
And work on something else um is incredible.
00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:59.119
Such a great highlights real is such a great idea.
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:00.079
Man, that's cool.
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:02.720
Because I I uh I'm outputting a lot of stuff.
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:08.960
I had to train a junior dev this morning on a thing that was going on that we were doing, and I I it was very complicated.
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:17.119
So I just did an HTML view of it and made it J junior dev uh readable and he we reviewed it this morning.
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:18.960
It was better than anything I could have ever done.
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:29.200
So it's like finding new formats to get things synthesized in the context that whatever the person can understand senior executive, junior dev, junior marketer.
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:32.960
I got I gotta look at one of those highlight reels, I gotta see what that thing looks like.
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:34.000
This sounds really cool.
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:44.960
I'm imagining like on all trails when you're hiking, there's this little you can view the like mountain you're going up and where it's gonna be as little roadblocks along the way, something like that.
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:45.759
It's a great idea.
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:46.880
That's a great visual.
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:47.200
Yeah.
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:47.759
Yeah.
00:25:47.759 --> 00:26:00.079
Once you um when you think about budget allocation and where you can put like channel uh to to launch this as a small rel, you know, not a very small business, but you still have to be efficient.
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:02.079
Are there any things that you rule out?
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:07.680
Are there, I don't know, are there any any channels or tactics that you'd be like, well, this is where we're gonna lean in?
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:14.720
This is also the the other part of the the fun of um research flow.
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:23.759
I think in the the challenge uh for for me and my team is you know, this is um this is a product that we think has enormous relevance up market.
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:39.519
So it's kind of twofold here with research flow is we think this really unlocks and democratizes research for SMBs, uh, you know, and smaller businesses that have never had access to this type of research, um, which is gonna should be a a a complete game changer.
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:48.720
And then as you think about kind of mid-market and into enterprise, this is a tool that could maybe aid a in-house research team's roadmap.
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:50.160
There's there's never, right?
00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:53.839
Like roadmaps are always completely full if you have a research, you know, in-house research team.
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:56.000
There's always more questions than you can answer.
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:56.799
Especially now.
00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:57.680
Yeah, especially now.
00:26:57.680 --> 00:26:58.559
Yeah.
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:03.359
So it can be a supplement or maybe can help um from a budget perspective.
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:08.400
It's so much faster, so much cheaper than a traditional research study.
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:11.440
Um, so I think it can unlock and kind of supplement, right?
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:20.480
Research that's already being done, or actually create this entirely new category that doesn't really kind of exist um in an SMB's um, you know, budget or time.
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:22.640
So we're thinking about it in two different ways.
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:32.799
Um, and I think with type form, you know, historically we've been um majority self-serve, and we've we've got, you know, definitely reach right into um a lot of the enterprise and the Fortune 500.
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:35.599
Um, but this is kind of about building two different motions now.
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:43.920
And so as a marketer, it's really thinking around, you know, we have um really great tried and true, and we've got an you know an amazing kind of PLG engine.
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:50.160
Now we've got to think about how do we go and reach kind of from a um a sales motion, these bigger companies.
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:53.759
So yeah, we're definitely thinking around a lot of things to invest and expand into.
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:57.119
And so yes, that from a budget perspective, it's kind of all around that mix.
00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:59.200
Um, but I think it just goes back to continue to iterate.
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:14.480
So we've got a lot of tests coming up in the back half to try to figure out um where can we find um where can we find the these um these customers because some of them may not be on typeform, and you know, how do we sell into the researcher, how do we sell into the marketer, how do we sell into the product manager?
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:15.039
Yeah.
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:23.839
And it's in and in that category in the enterprise, research is important, but it's probably more like a feature than a than a large platform.
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:28.559
They wouldn't think of it in the way that they're thinking of that if they should be thinking about typeform.
00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:32.079
It's not a hot, it's not like a CRM platform.
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:40.000
It's not that level of it's more of a feature that you use to to to improve one part of your organization.
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:44.880
So it's a really interesting challenge at the enterprise level because they might even be thinking about, yeah.
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:57.839
Yeah, and we have a we have um we were saying we have an incredible research team um with PhDs right on this team that um that are what we're calling kind of in our ICP, like our expert researcher.
00:28:57.839 --> 00:28:58.960
Like this is the team.
00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:05.359
And you know, they've talked about the fact that this is this just becomes a tool that they can use too.
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:16.720
So it I think it definitely has um, you know, extendability to be an enterprise platform that a research team can go in and say, all right, I have 50% more requests from my stakeholders and I can actually manage this quarter.
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:22.400
Research flow now help me actually be able to fulfill all of the requests, right?
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:30.240
Maybe and then some because of how fast I can work now, um, how much cheaper it is than even going out to any of these market research firms.
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:31.759
Um brainer.
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:32.880
Yeah, no brainer.
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:35.440
No brainer in terms of the cost, the cost angle.
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:35.920
That's great.
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:38.079
Well, a lot of a lot of things to discuss.
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:39.119
I could ask more questions.
00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:40.160
I want to get through three.
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:44.960
We ask uh every guest on the podcast three questions to create somewhat of a benchmark.
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:48.640
You're the second uh person that I've asked these questions to.
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:51.119
So as we get more data, we're gonna put more data out on these.
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:54.960
So let me ask these questions one at a time and and I'll get your thoughts here.
00:29:54.960 --> 00:30:04.880
So question number one is what's one AI workflow you put into production this year that moved a real number and one that you killed when you said didn't this is not gonna work?
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:06.000
AI workflow.
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:17.119
So for I don't know if we consider this a workflow, but I think what we're really seeing that's moving the needle is um the speeding up the time to market to do experimentation.
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:21.359
And so when we think about kind of prototyping, so it's kind of twofolded.
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:32.319
There's the okay, how do we kind of speed to market from a prototyping perspective to just get more creative and to market to be able to get more signal um and and then get and get clarity.
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:42.480
Um, so definitely on the A-B experimentation side, um, you know, like using Claude to be able to create prototypes of like the homepage you see right now, right on typeform.com.
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:46.559
Um, that this was one of the um kind of experiments and workflows that we did.
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:51.119
And so now we're able to kind of start to roll this out kind of across the board and and seeing.
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:59.359
And really what I think it is, it's also by prototyping, it's helping us kind of create that shared language between strategy and execution.
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:08.880
So we can have a lot of the marketers be able to really quickly say, okay, I'm I'm here are my requirements, here's kind of what I'm thinking, here's the messaging, here's what I'm trying to get across.
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:12.319
And so the creatives have a real-time example of what that looks like.
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:22.000
And so I think it's it's cut out a lot of the okay, I'm saying I'm I'm here and marketers are here, maybe creatives are here, and we we're we're we're going through several iterations to get to the on the same page.
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:26.559
Um that's one that we've seen, yeah, through A-B experimentation that's definitely moving the needle.
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:27.279
Love it.
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:28.400
Well, is there anything you're killed?
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:29.839
You're like, ah, this isn't gonna work.
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:38.000
Um, you know, on the the killed side, um, I think where we're going is more on the how to create more AI workflows.
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:43.039
So I think we're, you know, as I'm sure kind of everyone is now, I think everyone's pretty proficient.
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:48.319
Um, me in the tech marketing space of like, I'm using AI for a lot of one-off use cases.
00:31:48.319 --> 00:32:00.720
And so I think what it's less about like what we're not using, but more I think where we want to go is the how do we now like templatize and get everyone on the same page and say, okay, I created this skill, right?
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:06.640
Or I created this gem, I'm gonna share it with everyone, and this is now how we do X or Y.
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:10.640
And we're all gonna do it in the same way, and then we actually all have the same information feeding into it as well.
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:12.720
Um, so I think that's really more where it's going.
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:23.359
And we're so we're trying to figure out how to evolve the one-off, which has definitely sped things up into a much more structured, uh, I think like templatized processes for for a variety of use cases.
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:24.480
Yeah, that's good.
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:24.880
That's great.
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:32.880
So you haven't killed the one-off, but the one-off needs to like move over to be scalable, like get to the one-off fast so you can scale it into something.
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:33.680
I love that.
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:36.480
Um, second question is what's still stuck in pilot?
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.359
Something you expected to be running by now that isn't?
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:54.880
This one is is very similar to I think the my last example, and maybe my my um specific example here is when you think about um, you know, kind of everything we've talked about today of like there's so much in any company, right?
00:32:54.880 --> 00:33:03.440
There's so much context information, um, ability for whatever AI tool you're using to be able to summarize all together and give you the output.
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:11.039
I am surprised that we haven't um we're working on this, uh, that we haven't evolved our marketing briefing as much as we have.
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:12.000
And so, and use that.
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:15.920
So, one of the things we're working on is we're using, we're working on a um a briefing agent.
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:21.440
But when you think about we know what's really hard for marketers is how do you take all this information?
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:32.640
Some of it's in people's heads, but a lot of it is out there right over across a variety of different decks from your messaging and positioning deck to maybe some information of what happened on like in a campaign or what happened on this website.
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:35.440
You put it all together and say, all right, here's my strategy, right?
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.119
Here are here are my audiences.
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:46.000
Um that that's one of our hypotheses of like this has to be something that we can templatize and probably make um much richer, right?
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:50.400
To be able to move faster in creating um amazing creative.
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:54.240
Yeah, I love that idea because we're we're we're doing the same thing ourselves.
00:33:54.240 --> 00:34:08.159
We go with a tool called Flow, and we're finding that when we do client strategy, like we have one client who has 26 different brands, and we're having we had to build website strategy and actually build all the sites across 26 sites.
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:14.639
And so we created these skills that like gave us this knowledge set around these individual brands, and we used them for the sites.
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:22.000
We're looking at it going, oh my gosh, this is like you could ask this brain any question about any brand or a combination of brands.
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:27.679
And so we put that in a in our tool called, which is also called Flow, which is uh which is interesting.
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:46.000
It's an end it's kind of an agency uh uh tool that we created ourselves, and um we call it brand intelligence, so it allows people to not only uh talk to that brain, but also it um documents their current brand, you know, colors and types and you know, pictures and words and that type of stuff.
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:49.039
And then you can chat with that brain.
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:51.199
Yeah, uh, so you're on to something there.
00:34:51.199 --> 00:35:03.679
It's really we have the same vision is that you shouldn't have to do you should tell the brief that you're you want to you need an outcome, but the brief should have enough context to where you don't have to do all the things anymore.
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:05.599
Yeah, it just does a lot of that for you.
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:07.199
So really, really cool one.
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:13.440
Um and then the last question is what's one thing your team won't hand won't hand to AI and why?
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:15.760
I'm speaking for this as a people manager.
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:18.960
The one thing I won't hand to AI is managing my team, right?
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:21.840
Is build you know, is building the relationships.
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:24.639
Um, you know, and then coaching and developing marketers.
00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:28.480
So I think there's, you know, there's a ton that we can hand over from an execution perspective.
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:38.719
But when it comes to the strategy and even thinking, I think around how we're even using right the the AN automation, I think there's so much from, I mean, it's like our conversation today, right?
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:42.960
Like learning, sharing, like swapping ideas, talking about how we're approaching things.
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:51.840
Um, and I think that, you know, it it sounds kind of like maybe a little cheesy, but I think that's very much um everyone that I work with at typeform, right?
00:35:51.840 --> 00:36:00.400
When we when we think we put our money where our mouth is in terms of like what we're developing for our customers and how we want our customers to go out and and work with their customers, I think it's the same thing, right?
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:04.400
I think we have that kind of philosophy of we need to be human first.
00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:11.199
Um, by being human first, I think we'll have such an advantage um in kind of working and growing and um being able to launch these amazing products.
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:16.000
But yeah, I think it's that I see as something that will not be handed to to AI automation.
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:18.639
I think so critical for that human connection.
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:20.079
Meet your new manager.
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:23.039
It's the it's this AI agent that I that I've created for you.
00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:23.360
Yeah.
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:24.239
Because you can make it.
00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:25.920
You can say I'm gonna create an AI agent.
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:27.360
Here's all the here's all the to-do list.
00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:28.079
Just tell me, tell me.
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:30.480
You know someone's doing that.
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:31.920
You know that's being done somewhere.
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:34.320
I don't want to know where, but it's not that good.
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:36.000
Yeah, that's a really that's really good.
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:38.000
Okay, so I have one more ask of you.
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:43.760
I do an AI roulette question where I'm going to ask my AI robot here to ask you a question.
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:49.440
I fed in the brief that we talked that we're talking through here, and then um your LinkedIn profile.
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:50.800
So I don't know what it's gonna come up with.
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:52.559
So let me just hit send here.
00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:55.360
This is uh real quick.
00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:59.280
And this is from the AI, so it's then the AI's voice here.
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:00.079
Okay.
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:05.280
My file says web flow publishing went from three days to three hours.
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:06.639
Automation did that.
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:10.880
Question, what happened to the other two days in 21 hours?
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:14.239
Is this making me a mad question?
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:24.000
Yeah, it's basically like, hey, I think you must have I saw somewhere, or maybe it was in our previous conversation, about your web flow process was a lot faster now.
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:25.840
It ought you automated a lot of it.
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:28.320
And you talked about like prototyping.
00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:34.159
So if you say if if you went from three hours, three days to three hours, what are you doing with the rest of the time?
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:36.320
Overhauling the rest of the website.
00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:36.960
That's right.
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:38.079
We have a lot of things.
00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:39.119
There's always work.
00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:40.480
There's always work to do.
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:41.599
There's always work.
00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:51.920
And you know, even when we get to the point where is we're working on this right now, is like continuing to make sure that all of our own assets, right, reflect our new product lines, right, and our new product vision, then our company vision.
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:55.199
Um, but then you just you keep experimenting, right?
00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:57.760
I mean, yeah, what's happening in the market, right?
00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:03.360
The even the composition of traffic's changing so fast that, you know, what may be working in one month is not working in another month.
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:05.280
So yeah, you're constantly iterating.
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:09.039
Yeah, I don't know how you feel about this, but I don't see work slowing down.
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:13.039
Like there's the AI doomers who say that this is gonna take all our jobs.
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:16.000
And I just think there's gonna be a bigger backlog on everything.
00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:16.400
I agree.
00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:17.360
Just more work.
00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:18.159
I agree.
00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:23.519
I mean, if you think about where even we are um with the ability to do remote work, right?
00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:29.599
All of the tools that were available at our fingertips before, you know, um uh ChatGPT rolled out, right?
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:33.360
Like that feels like so much more work than people were doing 10, 20 years ago.
00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:33.679
Yeah.
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:35.199
So I agree.
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:36.159
Yeah, 100%.
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:38.159
Well, Malinda, this has been great.

00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:47.039
Um, people want to follow you or get a hold of someone about the product, where do they go?
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:48.159
