Welcome to The RAIZOR Report!

Welcome to the RAIZOR Report podcast. At RAIZOR we help clients cut costs, boost revenue, and accelerate business growth with AI automations. 

Some months ago RAZOR started scanning all the latest AI news and delivering it as a daily digest to our internal team via email to keep them up to date. The team liked it so much that we turned it into our daily public newsletter, which features AI news, tools and job postings. As a relentless lover of all things automation, our founder, Douglas Campbell, then thought it would be fun to clone his voice and have it reed the high level news article summaries to him each morning while he made his coffee. He shared the result with the RAZOR team and they found it so useful that we decided to turn it into this automated mini podcast. Every weekday we cover the latest AI news every weekday, all in less than 5 minutes, so you can get back to what you’re working on.
