Supriya Gupta: Surfacing Untapped Leadership Insight

Not a Threat: Building the AI-First Future

My guest today is Supriya Gupta, the founder and CEO of an AI advisory studio. Supriya previously led AI-driven product innovation at companies like Credit Karma, Facebook, and IBM. Today she works with business leaders to help them harness AI for both efficiency and invention. Her first product, a personal executive ghostwriter called The Agent C, is emerging from stealth this month, and we discuss how it enables executives to increase their contributions to thought leadership content. Supriya also shares a practical framework for building context-aware products, explains why the cost of creation is collapsing, and makes the case for taste, not just technical sophistication, as the new competitive edge. Supriya's thinking is sharp, actionable, and grounded in real-world experimentation. So please enjoy my conversation with Supriya Gupta.
