About this episode
This is our full interview with Kris Marszalek, recorded live on TBPN.
We discuss why he bought AI.com the moment it became available, the long-term vision for a consumer “chief of staff” personal assistant for billions of people, how he locked in a Super Bowl spot before the product existed and pulled the trigger just weeks before airing, what happened when the ad drove massive traffic and signups, and why he turned down a $500M+ offer for the domain right after closing because he’s going all-in on building the product.
TBPN is a live tech talk show hosted by John Coogan and Jordi Hays, streaming weekdays from 11–2 PT on X and YouTube, with full episodes posted to podcast platforms immediately after.
Described by The New York Times as “Silicon Valley’s newest obsession,” TBPN has recently featured Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, Mark Cuban, and Satya Nadella.
