Thereās a lot of hype around āhigh-endā AI platforms right now: slick interfaces, enterprise pricing, and big promises. But hereās the truth our CEO, Jam, shared in his latest video:
you can often build the same core functionality yourself⦠for a fraction of the cost.
Thatās right. With just a few simple ingredients, anyone in the franchise community can start creating powerful AI agents that actually drive results.
Forget the idea that you need a massive tech team or a huge budget to leverage AI. All it really takes is:
ā A few cups of coffee ā to keep the creativity flowing
š² Roughly $10/month in LLM API tokens (from providers like OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini)
š» Basic drag-and-drop skills on a no-code canvas
Thatās it. This lean setup is powerful enough to build fully functional AI agents that can automate and scale your franchise operations.
With these tools, franchisors and franchisees alike can start experimenting with practical AI use cases such as:
š Chat or Voice Agents for instant appointment booking and customer response
š§ RAG Agents (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) acting as trained Level 1 support reps
š§ Outreach Agents that handle cold email campaigns and LinkedIn prospecting
āļø Marketing & Content Agents to produce high-quality materials efficiently
These agents donāt just save time, they create leverage. They allow your team to focus on strategy, creativity, and growth instead of repetitive tasks.
In Jamās new video, we break down the core elements that make up any AI Agent:
š§© The Brain: The model (like GPT or Claude) that handles reasoning and response
šļø Memory: Where your agent stores context and learns from interactions
š¬ System Prompt: The foundation that defines your agentās tone, purpose, and behavior
š ļø Tools: The external systems it can connect toālike CRMs, calendars, or APIs
Once you understand how these pieces work together, you can build agents that donāt just talk, they perform.
