The Agent Odyssey is a podcast about what it really takes to bring AI to market. Hosted by Matt Wyman, CEO and Co-founder of Okareo, each episode explores how founders and builders are turning AI from prototype to product and what they’re learning along the way. We skip the frameworks and the hype to focus on the messy, human side of AI adoption: earning trust, pricing intelligence, redefining work, and balancing automation with accountability. Every conversation ends with one essential question: “What human skill do people need to develop in preparation for the world of AI?”
Neil Patel, founder and CEO of Vakya, joins Matt Wyman to explore a future where voice becomes the default interface for AI and where those experiences need to feel genuinely local. They discuss why frontier models still struggle with the nuances of languages, dialects, accents, and cultural context, and how localized voice agents can help businesses meet customers where they are. Neil also looks beyond call center automation to a world of ambient, personalized AI, and explains why agency, clarity of intent, strong values, and verifiability will become increasingly important as the cost of intelligence approaches zero.

Ajantha Suriyanarayanan - Melo and the Invisible Labor of Family Life
In this episode, Matt Wyman speaks with Ajantha Suriyanarayanan, founder of Melo (formerly Mental Load AI), about one of the most overlooked challenges in modern life: the invisible mental load carried by women and mothers.

The conversation explores the intersection of AI, emotional intelligence, and human-centered design, as well as the broader societal impact of mental load on careers, relationships, and workforce participation. Ajantha also shares her vision for AI as a trusted thought partner that can help people reclaim time, reduce overwhelm, and create space for what matters most.
