Tejas Agarwal: Making Train Rides Smoother and Safer for Everyone

Tejas Agarwal: Making Train Rides Smoother and Safer for Everyone
Tejas: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. I am on a mission to make train rides smoother and safer for everyone. Imagine tiny robots, like detectives, exploring subway tracks with their smart artificial intelligence (AI) tools. They can see things we can't, like tiny cracks or things out of place, and they tell us what needs fixing. This way, we can make repairs before anything goes wrong, keeping your subway rides on time and without any hiccups. It's like giving the subway tracks a health check-up, ensuring they're always in top shape for your journey!

Lipoa: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Hāna is among Hawai'i's most remote and underserved regions; the nearest urban facilities are a four hour round trip drive. The community comprises 394 households, and the U.S. Census reported that over 71% of residents are Native Hawaiian. Hāna's remoteness and lack of economic opportunity have resulted in an overall poverty rate of 22%, with the rate falling upwards of 42% for Native Hawaiians.

Maykow Lenzi: Simplifying the Finance Control Using Technology
Maykow: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. Entrepreneurship is one of the most impactful ways to reduce income inequality. People with no access to better-paid jobs for several reasons, e.g., prejudice or social exclusion, decide to start a company as a way of living. In order to be successful at entrepreneurship, finance control is one of the most important elements to guarantee the success of a business. So, my company simplifies the finance control using artificial intelligence and simple text messages on WhatsApp, such as “paid 100 products,” “sold 200 cash,” or “profit”, providing graphics and analysis to those entrepreneurs.
