In a world of constant information overload, how do you stay connected with your network and build meaningful relationships? Canay Deniz, Co-Founder and CEO of Ren joins us on the podcast to discuss a groundbreaking software that leverages artificial intelligence to get you in touch with the people you care about most, at the times it matters most.

You're a busy professional. You're constantly inundated with emails, news and content, and you have a long list of sites and tools where you gather and store data about the people in your network. What if AI could come in and organize it all, scour the Internet for the most relevant information about every person and organization in your network, and then generate a tailored feed with news about your connections that gets smarter the more you use it? What if it could read these articles, write emails for you and even adapt them to the right tone and message?

It's possible, and it's here. Discover the power of AI in strengthening relationships, improving efficiency, and achieving professional success. Don't miss out on this eye-opening conversation that will change the way you think about networking and relationship management.

3 Big Takeaways from this episode:

Right person, right time, right context...AI can systematize luck: There are moments in life where the right circumstances can completely change the trajectory of your career. Usually that requires putting the right people together at the right moment within the right context, something we'd traditionally call luck. Ren is systematizing luck. By scouring over 350,000 sources across the Internet and prioritizing content to what matters most to you, you can discover the important moments in the lives of your network, connect with them at these opportune moments, and spark opportunities you never would've been able to construct otherwise.
Properly used, AI can actually improve your relationships with your network: Many of the social media tools we use have the tendency to build shallow relationships defined by posting and reacting. Canay's team has worked hard to build a tool that does just the opposite. Ren was intentionally designed to foster meaningful relationships with your network. Properly used, the AI platform will save you the time of researching and discovering meaningful news about your network and allow you to focus on the personal connection with each person.
When it comes to implementing AI, don't start with the tool, start with the problem you want to solve: There are a plethora of AI tools out there that claim to help businesses, schools and individuals do their work more efficiently. In the rush to embrace AI, make sure you're not investing in a solution that doesn't solve a problem in your organization. Just like any tool or software investment, start with the biggest challenges your organization is facing, then see what AI tools out there might solve that problem. Canay suggests some easy steps to get started on the process, along with some ideas on where to look for AI solutions.
