  • From SEO to AEO: How to Optimize Your Website for AI Agents (feat. Frank Vitetta)
    May 14 2026

    Frank Vitetta, is the founder and CEO of Orchid Box, LLM Scout, and CodeScout. LLM Scout monitors how brands are cited and represented across major AI platforms. Krish Palaniappan is the CEO of Snowpal, an API platform helping businesses build software faster.

    Frank points to a striking statistic: roughly 18% of Google’s traffic today comes from LLM bots. When you ask ChatGPT or Claude a question they can’t answer from training data, they perform live Google searches to gather information. They break your prompt into multiple search queries — a process called “query fan-out” — then crawl the top results in real time to synthesize an answer.

  • Macroeconomic impacts of AI adoption (feat. Dr. Kelly Monahan)
    May 6 2026

    If you’ve been losing sleep wondering whether your job will survive the AI revolution, congratulations: you’re already doing more strategic thinking than most C-suites. That, in essence, is the bracing message Dr. Kelly Monahan brought to a recent Snowpal podcast conversation with founder Krish Palaniappan. Kelly, who studies the future of work and has done time in the research trenches at Deloitte, Accenture, and Meta, has the rare distinction of having started her HR career by laying people off because of robotic process automation. It is, as career origin stories go, the equivalent of a firefighter whose first day on the job involves lighting a match. Twenty years later, the technology is more polite about it (chatbots are nothing if not cheerful), but the underlying question is the same: what is a human worker actually for?

  • Governing Intelligence: How AI Is Reshaping Public Sector Software (feat. Andrew Stockwell)
    May 6 2026

    Deploying AI in regulated, mission-critical environments is a challenge of a different order from shipping a consumer app. Where most AI practitioners enjoy the freedom to iterate quickly and fail cheaply, public sector software vendors must satisfy procurement regulations, legal liability constraints, and a profound obligation to public trust. Andrew Stockwell, VP of AI at Euna Solutions — a leading provider of cloud-based software for government bodies across the United States and Canada — has spent years operating at this intersection. In a wide-ranging conversation on the Snowpal Podcast, Stockwell walked through the technical decisions, architectural patterns, and organizational strategies his team uses to ship production-quality AI responsibly in one of the world’s most demanding verticals.

  • No Hydraulics, No Problem: How Rise Robotics Is Quietly Disrupting a $750 Billion Industry (feat. Hiten Sonpal)
    Apr 7 2026

    Hydraulics — the technology that powers excavators, military vehicles, oil rigs, and factory floors — have been around since the 1800s. They work by pressurizing fluid to create force. They’re powerful. They’re proven. And according to Hiten Sonpal, CEO of RISE Robotics, they’ve hit their ceiling.

    Hiten joined the Snowpal Podcast to talk about what his company is building, what he’s learned from shipping over 9 million units at iRobot, and why he raised $5.7 million from the crowd instead of from VCs. It’s a conversation worth your full attention.
