Everyone’s asking if AI will take your job. But it's time to start asking if you’re ready to hire it.

In this solo deep dive, Vendoroo’s Chief Evangelist, Pablo Gonzalez, makes the most important distinction in today’s AI conversation: the difference between generative AI and agentic AI and what it really takes to build an AI you can trust like a teammate.

Because Agentic AI is picking up speed and it’s not just automation anymore.
It’s ownership. And for the first time, property managers are seeing what that really means: from AI agents answering phones and resolving work orders, to reshaping how companies scale without burning out their team.

Pablo breaks down:

🔄 The real difference between generative AI (the genie) and agentic AI (the terminator)
🧩 What makes an AI actually agentic and what most platforms get wrong
🧠 How agents train like teammates, not tools
⚠️ The 3 ways tech vendors are “selling” agents and who’s putting PMs at risk
🤝 Why emotional intelligence and human-in-the-loop oversight still matter most

If you’ve ever wondered how far AI can go or what it takes to build one that actually works, this episode is the clarity you didn’t know you needed.

🎧 Listen now and step into the future of property management, one shift at a time.
