Podium sells an "AI Employee" to local businesses such as auto dealers, home services, aesthetics clinics and shops. Its website says the agent replies to new leads around the clock, qualifies them and books appointments, so staff can focus on the customers in front of them. On 22 Oct 2026 Podium's CEO, Eric Rea, posted that the AI side of the business had just crossed $150M in annual recurring revenue, two and a half years after they started over on AI.
