About us
A few years back, Eric (Co-Founder and CEO) got a frustrated call from his dad. His dad’s tire shop had plenty of happy customers, but only a handful of angry ones were leaving reviews. So we built a product that made getting more reviews as easy as sending a text. Launching in 2014, we set out to solve the same problem for local businesses everywhere, but we realized that messaging with customers wasn’t just the better way to get reviews—it’s the better way to do business. We’ve since built a multi-product platform that’s modernizing the way local business gets done. We are here to provide local businesses with everything they need to win. Get more reviews, collect payments, send text marketing campaigns, and centralize your communications—all from one easy-to-use platform. #Podium #PodiumLove #LocalBusiness #TheFutureIsLocal

Thanks again for having Dennis! Real customers, real results—AI driving more jobs and real growth.
Tersh Blissett sits down with Dennis Steele, co-founder of Podium, and they get into what’s actually changing with AI right now. Dennis explains that most people still think AI is just automation or chatbots, but what’s really moving the needle are AI agents. These aren’t just tools that respond, they’re systems that can take context, handle multiple steps, and actually do real work across your business. It’s a different level, and it’s already starting to show up inside service companies.

This is what it looks like when dealers get AI right. Roman at All Things Automotive made the decision to invest in Podium instead of adding headcount and the results speak for themselves: ⚡ faster response times 📅 more booked appointments 🔥 a more energized sales team This is the impact of building AI into your dealership’s process, not just treating it like another tool. Take a listen to the full story. Shoutout to Sam D'Arc, Yossi J Levi, and the Car Dealership Guy team for highlighting what Podium customers are achieving.

The biggest revenue leak in home services isn’t marketing—it’s missed opportunity. Unanswered calls. Unbooked estimates. Leads that never get followed up with. AI Employees are changing that. They don’t just respond faster—they: • Never miss a call and book jobs directly on the calendar • Fill gaps in the schedule • Find missed revenue opportunities in your lead flow This Service Business Mastery episode shows how contractors are using AI to recover and create revenue daily. https://lnkd.in/g9GFCQJu

Thanks for hosting Dennis Steele! Sharing real customer stories about how AI is driving more booked jobs and revenue is exactly why we do what we do."
🎙️ New episode released. In this one, Tersh Blissett sits down with Dennis Steele, co-founder of Podium, and they get into what AI actually looks like inside a service business. Dennis breaks down something a lot of people are missing. Most tools today act like assistants, but what’s starting to show up now are systems that can actually go out and do the work. They talk about Larry, an AI agent that can text customers, answer calls, and book jobs straight into your calendar, all while staying consistent and professional every time. It doesn’t get frustrated, it doesn’t miss opportunities, and it handles conversations in a way that actually builds trust. It’s less about having help, and more about having something in place that can move work forward without you jumping in every time.

The Podium AI Hackathon was a huge success! 250 applicants, 100 participants, 30 teams, 14 winners, and $15,000 in prizes! Last Saturday, we welcomed a select group of engineers, product managers, and designers to our Lehi office to build AI-driven products in just seven hours. To kick things off, our Co-founder & CEO, Eric Rea, hosted a fireside chat with Gokul Rajaram. Gokul shared how AI is transforming the way product is built, and what that means for today's technical talent. Congratulations to the winners: 🥇 1st Place ($10K): TruckMind: Joseph Vore, Daniel Graviet, and Rudy Garcia 🥈 2nd Place ($2.5K): Home Builder Superintendent: Benji Dazey, Donovan Smith, and Sam Woodbury The Maverick ($250 in Cursor Credits): AIMy: Granite T., Drew Royster, and Matthew Dembinski The Operator ($250 in Cursor Credits): SiteSniper: Aoi Kuriki and Jae Hyun Kim The Dreamer ($250 in Cursor Credits): AI Recruiter: Alli Thorn, Chris Crabtree, and Jacob Butters These teams solved real problems and pushed the limits of what we thought was possible to build in one day. Massive thank you to our sponsors Anthropic and Cursor, and to everyone who applied, built, judged, and helped make the event a huge success! We’re excited for our next hackathon and can't wait to see what the next group of builders creates. #Podium #Utah #Lehi #Hackathon #AIEngineers #ProductManagers #ProductDesigners #Competition #Recap
