We’re back with a special episode featuring Thomas Umstattd Jr., founder of Author Media and host of the Novel Marketing Podcast. This time, Thomas is sharing something he’s been working on: building his own team of AI agents to help run his business. We talk about how authors can use these tools to simplify their book marketing, automate everyday tasks, and spend less time managing the technical side of their business.
We explore how AI agents can update author websites, analyze Amazon reviews, uncover insights about readers, and handle repetitive marketing tasks. Thomas shares how he built his AI team, which tasks he recommends automating first, and how authors can get started without needing advanced technical skills. We also discuss the costs, security concerns, and practical challenges of working with AI agents, including how to make them more effective over time.
You don’t need to be a tech expert to start using AI agents for your book marketing. Tune in to hear Thomas explain where to start, what to automate, and how to make these tools work for you.
