Jason BARNARD
Jason makes AI upskilling a gentle slope for you and your team — and turns Google, ChatGPT, and every AI platform into seven assistants selling for your business 24/7.
Jason Barnard has spent 30 years studying how Google, ChatGPT, and every major AI platform decides which brands to trust, recommend, and promote. That understanding cuts two ways: it lets him train AI platforms to sell for your business 24/7, and it lets him break AI implementation inside a business into steps any team can follow. Same knowledge. Two powerful results.
You Have Seven AI Employees Working 24/7 — Are They Selling for You or Your Competitors?
This talk (and optional workshop) delivers a three-step methodology that turns Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, and Gemini into assistants working around the clock — trained to understand your brand, trust your expertise, and recommend you rather than a competitor.
Your Business Already Has the Most Valuable AI Asset — You Just Haven't Extracted It Yet
This talk (and optional workshop) breaks the AI implementation journey into ten clear, manageable stages, taking business leaders and their teams from scattered experimentation to structured, compounding results, step by easy step. This talk scored 9.8 out of 10 at an Entrepreneurs' Organization retreat, with attendees reporting they left with frameworks they applied the same afternoon.
Each talk stands alone. Together, they are a genuinely mindblowing combination — two sides of the same deep coin, delivered back to back.
Before building Kalicube, Jason spent years as a working entertainer: creator and voice of a children's cartoon character broadcast on Disney, and live musician who shared stages with Henry Rollins, The Pogues, Manu Chao, Captain Sensible, and Bob Dylan. That background is not incidental — it is why his talks work. Every session is built around stories and anecdotes that make the ideas stick, a pace that holds the room from the first minute to the last, and a warmth that makes genuinely complex concepts feel immediately accessible. A natural performer comfortable on stages from intimate boardrooms to audiences of thousands, he brings the same energy to a C-suite workshop as to a festival crowd.
He has worked with organisations including ITV, Samsung, NTT and HP. He coined the terms Brand SERP (2012), Answer Engine Optimization (2017), AI Engine Optimization (2024), and Assistive Agent Optimization (2025). His predictions have systematically proven accurate, reliably, seven to fourteen years before mainstream recognition catches up.
Jason is also one of the warmest, funniest, most unexpectedly gripping speakers you will put in front of an audience. Audiences leave with a completely new perspective on AI, concrete actions they can start the same afternoon, and a smile on their face.
