Black Tech Founder Launches “Meet Smithers” — An AI Sales Assistant for Underserved Entrepreneurs
Veteran software developer Oz Brown has launched Smithers AI, a new platform designed to help underserved entrepreneurs automate their sales and marketing—without needing a team, big budget, or marketing expertise.
Smithers functions as a virtual sales assistant, handling automated webinars, answering customer questions, and capturing leads around the clock. In under 30 minutes, users can set up a fully automated sales experience that looks and feels like a live, personal pitch—without any ongoing effort.
Brown created Smithers based on his own experience. “I built Smithers because I struggled with marketing and sales. I needed a tool that could sell for me—and then I realized I wasn’t alone,” he explains. His mission quickly expanded to support solopreneurs, side hustlers, and founders—especially women and people of color—who are often overlooked in tech and lack access to expensive tools.
With Smithers, entrepreneurs can scale their businesses more efficiently, focusing on what they do best while the AI handles the selling. The platform is already gaining traction among creatives, coaches, consultants, and online sellers looking for smarter ways to grow.
Entrepreneurs can try Smithers for free at www.MeetSmithers.com and experience how AI-powered automation can simplify and strengthen their business.
Oz Brown’s vision is clear: give everyday entrepreneurs the same powerful tools that large teams use—and make them simple, affordable, and effective.
