How Founders Are Building the Next Great Startups | Paid.ai, iTruckr & Tenax AI | E2175

Sep 8, 2025 • 77 mins

Today’s show: In this TWiST founder triple-shot, Alex digs into the real-world rollout of AI agents: Paid.ai’s Manny Medina explains agent economics and value-based pricing, iTruckr’s Camilo Ramirez shows agents booking loads and coordinating drivers, and Tenax’s Elise Myrans demos computer vision + drones that score a single home’s wildfire/flood risk for smarter underwriting—plus live office-hours on winning enterprise pilots without getting stuck in PoC purgatory.

Key Points

  • Paid AI helps companies track and manage the costs associated with deploying AI agents by monitoring their usage and billing accurately.
  • I Trucker uses AI agents to automate communication and logistics in the trucking industry, reducing the need for multiple dispatchers and improving operational efficiency.
  • 10x AI offers granular property risk assessments using AI and computer vision, enabling insurers to underwrite more accurately and homeowners to take preventive measures against extreme weather risks.
