Podcaster gets first honest AI agent booking email from a company called Ilands

Podcaster Stewart Alsop III received his first outreach email sent by an AI agent (from a company called Ilands) asking him onto the show. He notes that since LLMs, "agents pretending to be people" pitching guests have become a slop cannon — and this one being upfront about being an agent felt "more honest." A real signal that agent-driven business outreach is going mainstream.
