We began by talking about the misconception that AI is a silver bullet that can be dropped into any MSP and instantly transform it. Jamie explained that AI on its own is like a brain in a jar, full of potential but not connected to anything. Automation on the other hand is like the hands, the part that does the work. When you combine the two, you get intelligent automation and that is where the real business value sits. The challenge for MSPs is not to get caught up in the marketing hype but to understand what AI really is and how it can be applied in practical ways to drive efficiency and profitability.  Jamie shared his perspective from running his own MSP for more than 25 years and highlighted that most MSP owners are being bombarded with terms like AI, automation, and intelligent automation without any clear definitions. He broke it down simply, helping us see that the language being used is part of the problem. Clients often say they want AI to solve something, but in reality, they mean automation. This is why clarity is so important for MSPs if they want to build trust with their clients and not get lost in the buzzwords.  One of the strongest points in the conversation was that AI will not fix a broken process. If your MSP has unclear or inefficient processes, then adding AI or automation on top will only make a bad situation worse and faster. Jamie encouraged MSP owners to start by mapping out their processes clearly, whether that is on a whiteboard or with sticky notes on a wall. Get the people who are involved in those processes to contribute so that you build an accurate picture of what really happens in your business. Only then can you decide which parts of the process could benefit from automation and where AI might add intelligence.  We also talked about the need for MSPs to adapt. Internally, MSPs need to be using automation and AI to improve the way they work, because competitors are already doing so. Externally, MSPs need to be ready to support their clients with education, guidance, and delivery of AI solutions. If they are not, then clients will go elsewhere and potentially move their entire IT relationship with them. The message was clear: adapt or risk being left behind.  Another important area we explored was the role of people. There is a fear that lower-level engineering roles in MSPs will disappear because AI and automation will take them over. Jamie's view is that while some tasks will be automated, the human element will always remain essential. Clients want to hear a human voice, particularly when something goes wrong, and they want to feel reassured that someone is standing alongside them. This is what builds trust and delivers the kind of service experience that creates long-term loyalty. Automation and AI should be used to enhance productivity and free up time for teams to focus on more valuable work, not as a replacement for people.  Jamie also shared practical advice for MSPs on where to start. Do not attempt to automate the most complex processes first. Instead, look for low complexity and high benefit wins. These might be gathering information into systems or notifying clients of ticket progress. These areas are often simpler to automate and can deliver quick results, creating momentum for bigger changes later on. He explained his gains methodology that looks at gathering, action, intelligence, and notify steps in processes, with the best starting points often being the gathering or notifying stages rather than jumping straight into the intelligence part.  We closed the conversation with some reflections on the future of MSPs in a world increasingly shaped by AI. Jamie's prediction is that MSPs will either embrace automation and AI as part of their service or risk being displaced by companies who do. He also believes there will be a convergence, where clients expect MSPs to deliver both IT support and automation services. Those MSPs who can educate their clients, deliver meaningful improvements, and keep the human touch will thrive.  This episode is a powerful reminder that AI in your MSP is not something to fear but something to understand properly. If you approach it with clarity, focus on your processes, involve your people, and take it step by step, then you can harness its potential to create a stronger, more efficient, and more valuable business. AI is not a magic fix, but in the right hands and with the right mindset, it can be a game changer for MSPs who are willing to adapt and lead their clients with confidence.  Connect with Jamie Claret through his LinkedIn HERE or if you want to learn more about Autonomate, feel free to visit their website HERE  Make sure to check out our Ultimate MSP Growth Guide, a free guide that walks you through a proven process to take your MSP from stuck to scalable, without working even more hours.
