🤖 Ali Kashani on how autonomous delivery robots and ads are lowering the cost of commerce

On this week’s episode, we sat down with Ali Kashani, Ph.D. - the Founder & CEO of Serve Robotics. For those of you in a major city, you have probably seen Serve's autonomous robots delivering food on your sidewalks. Serve is completely reshaping last mile delivery and ads are a huge driver in helping lowering costs for consumers.

We covered a wide range of topics including his journey from building robots for Postmates' special projects team to its acquisition by Uber, and eventually his spin-out of Serve, and how advertising helps make deploying AI powered autonomous robots affordable for consumers to interact with on city sidewalks across the globe.

If you are interested in AI, ads, robotics, or inspiring founders, this week's episode is for you. You can listen to the full episode with Ali on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to your podcasts
