Here are Some Key Takeaways: 03:31 AI as a Tool for Personal and Business Growth It is important to identify what brings joy and generates income, then using AI and automation to handle necessary tasks that don't fall into those categories. This approach allows for better time management and increased productivity. 11:05 Balancing Automation and Personalization There are concerns about AI and automation leading to depersonalization. Start with what works manually, then automate 80% of it. This approach saves time and increases productivity while still maintaining quality through human supervision. Pay attention to the iterative nature of implementing AI solutions in business. 18:20 Understanding AI Agents and Their Applications There are different types of automations, including linear, AI-powered, and AI agents. AI agents can be used in businesses, such as replacing receptionists for appointment booking. It's important to have proper training and data input for effective AI implementation. 24:26 Transparency and Practical Implementation of AI Transparency is so important when using AI in organizations. Communicate the use of AI to stakeholders, emphasizing its benefits. Attach AI implementation to specific outcomes that solve pain points for users. 28:10 Getting Started with AI in Business Start by describing the problem and desired outcome to ChatGPT, then consulting with multiple vendors. The importance of asking the right questions and starting with a proof of concept is important. Don't miss this opportunity to gain practical knowledge on harnessing AI to enhance your nonprofit's efficiency and donor engagement.

Episode SummaryIn this provocative and insightful episode, OnBase host Chris Moody reunites with Lukas Egger to discuss one of the most talked-about frontiers in business innovation: agentic AI. Lukas explores how companies can move beyond demos and hype to implement AI in ways that reshape business models and unlock new value creation.Key TakeawaysPrioritizing Agentic AI: Leaders must prioritize agentic AI for business preparedness due to the significant investment and potential for new value creation.Understanding Misconceptions: It's crucial to recognize the "Jagged Frontier of AI," where AI's capabilities are counterintuitive, and avoid the "Lego brick fallacy," which assumes AI can be simply plugged into existing processes.Lowering Cost of Failure: To confidently adopt AI, businesses must systematically lower the cost of failure, iterate quickly, and democratize the process.Data-Driven Insights: Robust data and real answers are essential for understanding the ROI and impact of AI changes on business processes, systems, and people.Competitive Advantage: Instead of focusing solely on common AI use cases, businesses should identify their unique, unfair advantages and engage in rapid iterations and customer conversations to discover differentiating functionalities.Integrated Innovation: Marketing, sales, and business development should be involved early in the AI innovation process to ensure that new solutions align with market needs and monetization strategies.Beyond Peacocking: Avoid simply "peacocking" with AI by replicating what others are doing; instead, focus on deep integration and solving real business problems.Best Moments 02:00 – Lukas describes his nonlinear path from philosophy and startups to enterprise innovation at SAP.05:00 – The promise of agentic AI: opening up new domains for value creation and strategic repositioning.10:00 – Breaking down misconceptions: why traditional planning fails in the face of fast-moving AI.15:00 – Lowering the cost of failure and why “small wins” are key to long-term adoption.20:00 – Avoiding AI homogeneity: how to resist the urge to copy competitors and build a real moat.26:00 – Implementing AI at scale in large organizations: the hidden value of domain expertise and transparency.32:00 – The behaviors leaders must change to avoid missing the AI wave entirely.38:00 – Why marketers and sales teams must embed in AI development—early and often.Shout-outsHelen and Dave Edwards, Co-Founders of Artificiality Institute who discuss the emotional components of AI technology.Peter Temes, Founder and President, ILO Institute, for his deep understanding of basicAbout the GuestLukas N.P.

After a frustrating week of trying to wrangle AI outputs, we decided to explore the risks of overreliance on AI. It's good for us to question our tools. It enhances our processes and challenges us to find the right tools.Listen on Spotify | Listen on Apple Podcasts | Watch on YouTubeIn this episode, we say the quiet parts out loud. Not only are LLMs often feeding us incorrect information, but over-trusting these systems poses a serious risk.We can look at this Rolling Stone article headline and immediately laugh it off. It is insane to believe this will happen to anyone we know. However, in Mark Zuckerberg's vision of the AI future, your friends will be bots. The loneliness epidemic is real. One in three Americans feels lonely every week. Data from Harvard's Making Caring Common Project supports that loneliness is tied to increasing feelings of anxiety, not part of this country, and being about more than social isolation. 65% of respondents blame “our society,” pointing to a lack of confidence in our way of life and institutions.So, it should be no surprise that Harvard Business Review found that the top three use cases of 2025 involved loneliness and navigating life's stresses.AI could quickly become the next addiction for a world desperate for solutions. The fact that there's demand for robo-companionship shouldn't be treated as validation for building more tools to disassociate them from life. Let's go back to exploring this topic from the perspective of business users.Understanding GenAI's Productivity GainsAs we barrel into the AI-powered era, we can take one of two perspectives:* GenAI products are the next evolution of SaaS: Precise tools for specific workflows* LLMs are the next evolution of social media, where instead of degrading our interpersonal relationships, AI will addict us to easy and often incorrect informationThe majority of the research identified productivity gains and time savings, which would support the goal of GenAI as a professional advantage. But when you dig into the data, there are concerns.Many are funded by Microsoft, OpenAI, and Google, like this one showing that GitHub Copilot users completed tasks 55.8% faster than the control group. While that result was impressive, they were being assessed on their ability to complete a very basic task. The paper's results were boosted by showing that people with less experience benefit more from coding assistants, something that should worry anyone concerned about being replaced by cheaper talent who are boosted by AI.But these results were refuted in a separate study where no DevOps productivity gains were found from using the same GitHub Copilot. That study found the code quality to be poor, leading to a 41% increase in bugs!Remember that GitHub is owned by Microsoft and powered by OpenAI's foundation model, ChatGPT.This contradictory data highlights a paradox of GenAI: The technology is increasingly more successful at a basic task-level, but shouldn't be over-relied on to do our work for us. This Danish study hammers that point home: Time saved by AI offset by new work created. If we shake ourselves out of the AI hype stupor, we can critically examine the current state of LLMs more like SaaS tools. 95% of SaaS tools available won't help you and your business. Once you find the right tool for your hyper-specific use case, the AI product's success will depend on its implementation and the first-party data entered into it.Thanks for reading Design of AI: Strategies for Product Teams & Agencies! More Research about Using AIBehavioural research about AI should be considered a counterpoint to the benefits of AI. Yes, leveraging GenAI will have productivity gains in specific circumstances. But the technology also brings with it risks and considerations that built into the design and business case of “should we build this” discussions.* Increased AI use linked to eroding critical thinking skills* When experiencing time pressures, we're more susceptible to misinformation* AI systems are already capable of deceiving humans* People Facing Life-or-Death Choice Put Too Much Trust in AI* AI's Trust Problem: Twelve persistent risks of AI that are driving skepticismCatch up on Recent Design of AI Episodes31.

Imagine if your top expert—maybe even you—could be available 24/7, across multiple languages, without burning out. Sounds like science fiction? For many SMB leaders, the knowledge held by key individuals becomes a bottleneck, limiting growth and overwhelming crucial team members. But what if AI offered a way not to replace, but to amplify that irreplaceable human expertise? Today, I'm talking with George B. Thomas, widely known as "The HubSpot Helper," but we're diving deep into something even more cutting-edge. George has actually built an AI Digital Clone of himself – an AI trained on over 16 million words of his unique content, insights, and perhaps most importantly, his core values and beliefs. Discover how this isn't just about creating a chatbot, but about authentically scaling human expertise to augment his team and serve his audience in ways previously impossible. George firmly believes AI's true power lies in augmentation, not replacement. He shares how his AI clone functions as an internal assistant, a content creation partner, and an external resource, allowing his human team to focus on higher-value tasks. Forget the hype; this is a real-world look at creating a human-centric AI that embodies your unique essence.

In this episode of Detection at Scale, Matthew Martin, Founder of Two Candlesticks, shares practical approaches for implementing AI in security operations, particularly for smaller companies and those in emerging markets. Matthew explains how AI chatbots can save analysts up to 45 minutes per incident by automating initial information gathering and ticket creation. Matthew's conversation with Jack explores critical implementation challenges, from organizational politics to data quality issues, and the importance of making AI decisions auditable and explainable.  Matthew emphasizes the essential balance between AI capabilities and human intuition, noting that although AI excels at analyzing data, it lacks understanding of intent. He concludes with valuable advice for security leaders on business alignment, embracing new technologies, and maintaining human connection to prevent burnout. Topics discussed: Implementing AI chatbots in security operations can save analysts approximately 45 minutes per incident through automated information gathering and ticket creation. Political challenges within organizations, particularly around AI ownership and budget allocation, often exceed technical challenges in implementation. Data quality and understanding are foundational requirements before implementing AI in security operations to ensure effective and reliable results. The balance between human intuition and AI capabilities is crucial, as AI excels at data analysis but lacks understanding of intent behind actions. Security teams should prioritize making AI decisions auditable and explainable to ensure transparency and accountability in automated processes. Generative AI lowers barriers for both attackers and defenders, requiring security teams to understand AI capabilities and limitations. In-house data processing and modeling are preferable for sensitive customer data, with clear governance frameworks for privacy and security. Future security operations will likely automate many Tier 1 and Tier 2 functions, allowing analysts to focus on more complex issues. Security leaders must understand their business thoroughly to build controls that align with how the company generates revenue. Technology alone cannot solve burnout issues; leaders must understand their people at a human level to create sustainable efficiency improvements.
