EP 129: How Agents Move Beyond ChatGPT and Start Building

In this episode, Rajeev Sajja sits down with Janet Nowlin, broker-owner of NextHome Integrity Realty, to discuss how agents can move beyond basic AI prompting and begin using AI to build tools, automate workflows, and solve real business problems. Drawing on her unique background in information technology, education, and real estate, Janet shares how curiosity and experimentation have helped her unlock entirely new ways of working.   The conversation explores practical applications of AI including content automation, custom dashboards, business intelligence, referral management systems, and AI-powered workflow design. Janet explains how she uses AI as a thought partner, helping her brainstorm ideas, evaluate decisions, and tackle challenges that arise in running a brokerage and serving clients.   Rajeev and Janet also discuss the growing importance of AI search, why agents need to start thinking beyond traditional SEO strategies, and how answer engine optimization (AEO) may become a key competitive advantage in the years ahead. The episode offers a roadmap for agents who want to move from simply using AI tools to building AI-powered solutions that create real leverage in their business.   Guest: Janet Nowlin LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetnowlin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nowlinhomes Company website: https://janet.nexthomeintegrityrealty.com SubStack: https://thewiredbrain.substack.com WiredToClose.com - AI resource site SightHoundLabs.co - Boutique software development QuickStars.app - review management ParkHQ.app - Referral brokerage system AgentZen.app - Agent portal with AI assisted business and personal development Host: Rajeev Sajja Website: http://www.realestateaiflash.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsajja Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/rajeev_sajja LinkedIn: http://www.linkedIn.com/in/rsajja Rajeev's Resources:  Join our Instagram Real Estate AI Insiders Channel - https://ig.me/j/AbZCJG37DqBPPtxi/ Get 14 days Wispro Flow Pro Free Trial - https://ref.wisprflow.ai/rajeev-sajja  Subscribe to our weekly AI Newsletter: https://realestateai-flash.beehiiv.com/subscribe
