Jeff Smith discussed a new app idea on his podcast. He touched on the subject of a big data play called "Big Easy," explaining how combining prior tech waves with the latest developments, such as AI, could create a powerful compounding effect. He also mentioned the potential of big data in the field of medicine and highlighted the ability of big data to provide unbiased insights, unlike the scientific method which often starts with a hypothesis. 

Jeff Smith discussed the development of an AI healthcare-related app called "Rudy Sales Assistant". The app, designed to eliminate the need for a Customer Relationship Manager (CRM), is intended to make note-taking and data entry easier for salespeople. Despite the CRM's deep rootedness in the enterprise, the app is expected to streamline the sales process by tracking salespeople's activities and suggesting a weekly schedule. The Rudy App utilizes data created by the salesperson's mobile phone usage to provide reports on their activities, including driving routes, phone usage, and health data. The ultimate goal is to create an application that can suggest a weekly schedule for the salesperson. The host expressed their enthusiasm for the app and their vision for it to foster idea exchange and credibility in the field of healthcare and AI enterprise software.

The potential for these applications to attract marketers was also discussed.

The Literature Jeff Smith introduced a potential healthcare AI application idea, inviting physician entrepreneurs and non-physicians to collaborate if interested. The application, named "The Literature", aims to assist in accessing and understanding clinical papers, addressing the challenge of poorly understood literature in the healthcare sector.  Jeff highlighted the potential of generative AI and its ability to process large amounts of information. The idea is to build an app on a chat platform, allowing users to ask for relevant literature on a specific topic.
