🤝IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PODIUM
Summer's here. Larry handles calls, jobs, and memberships automatically.
Air Design used to spend hours every day manually calling their 600 members to schedule seasonal tune-ups.
They turned on Podium's AI Membership Coordinator. It contacted 471 members, booked 187 jobs, and generated $24,000 in revenue.
Across home services, the story repeats.
Magnolia Plumbing cut invoice-to-payment time to 6 minutes and saved 60 hours of admin work every month.
This is what Podium's AI Operating System does: phones answered, jobs booked, invoices collected — automatically, without adding headcount.

Sam Altman Proposes Giving 5% of OpenAI's Equity to a US Sovereign Wealth Fund
Intelligence: Sam Altman has proposed giving 5% of OpenAI's equity to a US sovereign wealth fund, with other AI companies expected to donate similar stakes. The idea is meant to build goodwill with the administration, though it remains preliminary and would likely require congressional approval.
The proposal would involve other AI companies contributing similar equity stakes.
President Trump previously confirmed discussing concepts where the American public could become a partner in AI companies.
OpenAI's April policy paper "Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age" proposed a public wealth fund that could invest directly in AI labs and distribute returns to citizens.
Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced a more aggressive bill in June calling for a one time 50% tax on AI company stock to fund a similar public wealth fund.

Anthropic Considers Samsung's Advanced Chip Process for a Future AI chip
Intelligence: Anthropic has begun early-stage work on a custom AI chip and held talks with Samsung about using its 2- nanometer manufacturing process. The project is still nascent and Anthropic says its existing partnerships with AWS, Google and Nvidia will remain central to its compute strategy.
Anthropic has started early-stage work on a custom AI chip and discussed manufacturing options with Samsung.
The company is specifically considering Samsung's 2 nanometer process and advanced packaging facilities.
