Agentic AI: Future of Your Business Operations Is Here
Episode 243
Monday, 4 May, 2026
GROWTH PILLAR: AI & Automation WHO THIS IS FOR: SMB owners / Solopreneurs / Corporate escapees / Leaders building systems WHAT THEY'LL GAIN: Practical insight on deploying agentic AI, reducing bottlenecks, scaling without hiring, and protecting business data — straight from someone building it in the real world. Most small businesses hit a wall. They want to grow but can't afford to hire. Kenneth Edmonds, founder of 22nd Century Management, has a different answer — agentic AI. Unlike a basic chatbot or custom GPT, agentic AI operates independently. It makes decisions, books appointments, handles calls, drafts emails, and manages routine tasks without waiting for your input. Kenneth calls it the next layer of AI — and he's already building it. In this episode of Knack 4 Business, Kenneth returns for his Season 4 appearance to break down exactly how these autonomous agents work, what makes them different from automation and GPT tools, and how solopreneurs and SMBs can deploy a suite of agents to free up their teams and scale without adding payroll. Topics covered: What agentic AI actually is — and how it differs from ChatGPT and automations AI receptionists, executive assistants, and virtual boards of directors How to identify bottlenecks and decide what to automate first Data privacy, GDPR compliance, and keeping your information secure How to vet AI consultants who actually know what they're doing Beta testing opportunities with Kenneth's current suite of agents Kenneth is actively looking for beta testers right now.
