Krishna Gupta on the Future of Vertical AI and Voice Automation | Ep 1076

In this episode of The Digital Executive Podcast, host Brian Thomas sits down with Krishna Gupta, co-founder of Presto and founding partner at Remus Capital. Gupta shares the story of launching his venture capital firm while still at MIT and how his early exposure to AI led to his co-founding of Presto, a company pioneering voice AI for restaurant drive-throughs. He breaks down the technical and operational challenges of deploying AI in noisy, high-volume environments, and how Presto overcomes these with a hybrid approach combining LLMs and NLP.Gupta also explores the compelling case for vertical AI, especially in industries like quick service restaurants (QSRs), logistics, and manufacturing. He emphasizes the importance of industry-specific insights, integration, and go-to-market execution. As he looks ahead, Gupta envisions a fully AI-instrumented business environment—powered by real-time feedback loops, robotics, and automation—with Presto and Remus Capital playing a leading role in that transformation.
