Guest: Rahul Roy-Chowdhury, CEO of Grammarly

Driven by generative tools like ChatGPT, artificial intelligence is hot — but Grammarly CEO Rahul Roy-Chowdhury wishes that “AI” stood for something else: “Augmented Intelligence.” A longtime Googler and lifelong believer in using technology to make peoples’ lives better at scale, Roy-Chowdhury now leads a company well-positioned to do exactly that. “In the early days, Grammarly was all about the rules of language,” he says. “Now, with generative AI, we can actually help people across a much broader swath of communication tasks.”

In this episode, Rahul and Joubin discuss digital distraction, responsible AI, John Oliver, Ali Ghodsi, the hype cycle, fragmentation, being kind to yourself, Amp It Up, intentional strategy, candid dialogue, Google Chrome, and Dancing with the Butterfly.
