The AI Report Live

On this episode of The AI Report, Liam Lawson sits down with Avi Hacker, founder of the AI Consulting Network and one of the most prolific solo operators in the AI world.

Avi doesn’t know how to code, but that hasn’t stopped him from building a business powered entirely by custom GPTs, Airtable workflows, Make.com automations, and a relentless commitment to experimentation. He’s automated everything from daily newsletters to podcast production and does it all without a technical team.

This conversation dives into:

• How Avi scaled from law school grad to AI consultant
• Why he operates like a 20-person team with zero employees
• The real cost of automation and what clients often misunderstand
• How he built tools for LinkedIn growth, blog creation, and deep research
• The tech stack behind his daily content engine

If you’re interested in the intersection of AI, automation, and solopreneurship, this is one to queue up.

This week on The AI Report, Liam Lawson is joined by Matthew Cohn, the founder of Future Flow, to talk about one of the most practical applications of AI today: voice agents.

Matt doesn’t write code. He’s not a machine learning engineer. But he’s built a thriving business that automates sales, lead qualification, and customer follow-up using tools like Vapi, N8N, and custom GPT agents. In this episode, Matt explains how he went from university marketing projects to running voice agents that act as round-the-clock sales assistants for real businesses.

They dig into the real pain points these agents solve—missed calls, slow follow-ups, and overworked sales reps—and how small to mid-size businesses are starting to catch on.

Also in this episode:

• What makes a great voice agent prompt

• Why prompting is the core skill for non-technical AI builders

• How Matt handles imposter syndrome and subcontracting

• A breakdown of the orchestration layers and tools he uses daily

• What it takes to serve enterprise clients with AI systems

If you’ve been curious about AI agents, automation workflows, or what it takes to build a lean, scalable AI business without writing code, this is a must-listen.
