Agentic AI Assistant for SMEs That Runs Your Day | Techie Talks ft. Abrar Siddiqui

Building an AI Assistant That Actually Gets Work Done
What does it really take to build an AI agent that takes action—not just generates responses?
In this episode of Techie Talks With Kuldeep, our CEO & Co-Founder, Abrar Siddiqui, shares insights from more than two decades in technology, including his experience building an early payments startup that was later acquired by Google and his work in deep learning at IBM Watson.
Abrar discusses what separates a genuine autonomous AI agent from a basic "LLM wrapper," including:

• Taking meaningful action on tasks, reminders, and follow-ups—not simply answering questions.

• Operating reliably through voice on WhatsApp, where speed, accuracy, and usability matter.

• Building the safeguards and operational guardrails needed to trust AI with real business workflows.

These principles are the foundation of SarahAI—the AI executive assistant designed for founders and SMEs who want to spend less time managing admin and more time growing their business.
