AI That Actually Delivers: Clarity Before Paid Ads | Ep. 15 with Vinod Kumar (Syntheum AI)

AI that actually delivers.

Vinod Kumar, CEO & Co-Founder of Syntheum AI, joins host Adam W. Barney to talk about clarity, discipline, and why most brands chase paid ads before they’ve earned the right. From building agentic AI tools for merchandisers to pioneering the idea of being “seed-strapped,” Vinod shares how founders can scale smarter without burning budgets.

In this episode of Is Anything Real in Paid Advertising?, we cover:

How AI merchandising agents are changing the way e-commerce brands work
Why being “seed-strapped” forces clarity and better decisions
The case for organic momentum before paid ads (and why shortcuts stall growth)
How Syntheum’s AVA audit tool reveals brand visibility inside AI platforms
Why long-term trust and brand presence will outlast today’s quick-fix ad hacks

If you’ve ever felt the pull toward shortcuts...or wondered how to future-proof your brand in an AI-driven ad world...this episode is your playbook.
