Investor’s Business Daily Features Alicia Shapiro—Again!
I’m excited to share that I was recently featured for the second time by Investor’s Business Daily — this time discussing Apple’s cautious but strategic approach to AI.
In the interview, I shared my thoughts on Apple’s “AI light” event and why I believe the company is playing the long game by focusing on on-device processing and privacy-first design. It’s an approach that may take time to unfold, but one that could ultimately strengthen user trust and innovation.

Build AI customer support workflow with Agent Builder
In this tutorial, you will learn how to build an AI customer support system using OpenAI's Agent Builder that automatically routes inquiries, provides intelligent responses from your documentation, and integrates with your website.
Step-by-step:
Go to platform.openai.com/agent-builder, sign in, and add credits to your account in the Billing section
Click "+ Create" to start a new workflow, add an agent node as a routing agent with the prompt: "You are a customer support classifier. Classify the user's intent into 'product_info' or 'billing_info'" and configure the output as structured JSON with enum values
Connect your routing agent to a conditional block (if-else node) with conditions like input.output_parsed.classification == "product_info", then create two specialized agent nodes—one for billing support and one for product info—and upload relevant documentation using the "File Search" tool
Click preview to test different scenarios like "How do I use the analytics feature?" or "I was charged twice this month," then click Publish to get a workflow ID for integration using Chatkit
Pro tip: You can also repurpose this routing pattern for sales qualification, lead scoring, or internal help desk systems — the same structure works anywhere you need intelligent categorization and specialized responses.
