In 2019, Urias-Roy and her husband started URATX, a delivery service based in Austin that uses independent contractors for large food deliveries, such as catering orders. The problem these stores had was that they were getting a lot of business orders, but drivers weren't equipped to handle it. That basically allowed me to start a delivery business instead of working as a contractor for the big apps or local delivery services. It's lower now though because we recently lost our biggest partnership with a major catering delivery company. AdvertisementAnd so the best thing about it is that I don't have drivers confronting restaurants about tips, I don't have drivers confronting clients begging for tips.

The 25-year-old's mission is to help clients make more money using large language models. Now, I run a consultancy that tries to help companies grow using AI — and business has been booming. Most projects use AI models from leading LLM providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cohere. My main advice for businesses interested in adopting AI is to familiarize yourself with large language models and how they could be used to address specific pain points. After that, collect as much data as possible — from meeting recordings to marketing materials — that can be used to fine-tune the AI models.
