  • How a Dentist Increased Reviews by 300% Using AI Follow-Up Bots
    Apr 15 2026

    Have you ever ignored a bland follow-up email from your dentist, only to wonder why the process feels so impersonal? In this episode of Grow with Technology, Speaker A and Speaker B explore a radical shift in how businesses, like dental clinics, use AI-powered follow-up systems to transform the seemingly mundane act of collecting reviews into a masterclass in human psychology and technology.

    We’ll uncover how one practice, Adensis, drove a staggering 300% increase in patient reviews by leveraging sophisticated algorithms—integrating data from procedure codes and scheduling preferences, deploying NLP-driven sentiment analysis, and timing messages for maximum emotional impact. But as AI lowers the barriers to feedback and filters out negative experiences, are we heading toward a world where five-star ratings are as common as spam? Join us as we unpack the invisible digital machinery shaping your experiences, and ask: is this the future of authentic feedback or a sanitized online reality?

    Apr 8 2026

    Welcome to "Grow with Technology," where we uncover the game-changing shifts redefining how local businesses thrive. In today’s episode, we dismantle one of the most pervasive myths in modern business: that artificial intelligence and cutting-edge tech are luxuries reserved for Silicon Valley giants. Using insights from Richard Butler Jr.’s compelling report, we explore how a small neighborhood florist doubled its weekly orders—not through flashy marketing or extra staff, but by tapping into the same predictive AI algorithms that power the world’s biggest corporations.

    Tune in as we break down how AI—once the domain of sci-fi and deep-pocketed enterprises—is now as accessible as a monthly software subscription, optimizing inventory, boosting sales, and even elevating the personal touch Main Street businesses are known for. Whether you're a curious entrepreneur or a tech skeptic, this episode will forever change how you see technology’s role in the everyday world.

    Apr 1 2026

    Imagine landing your last job, only to find out later that the “person” who selected your resume wasn’t a person at all. Today on Grow with Technology, we’re unpacking how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the world of hiring and recruitment. Forget about towering stacks of paper resumes—modern recruitment now looks more like mission control, with real-time dashboards, digital evaluation, and virtual assistants guiding the process.

    In this episode, we’ll break down a remarkable case study from WorldTel Corporation: a small HR agency that managed to screen 200 applicants in just 10 minutes using AI-powered tools—a feat once thought impossible for any human team. We’ll take a closer look at what old hiring methods got wrong, how automation addresses issues like time-sinks, bias, and scalability, and what it actually means for recruiters and job seekers today.

    We’ll also bust common myths: Does AI really take recruiters’ jobs? Is it just for big corporations? And what about bias—can technology ever be truly fair? By the end, you’ll learn not only how AI makes hiring faster and more efficient, but also what you need to know to stand out in this new era of recruitment. Ready to update your mental software? Let’s dive in.
