Put the Robot on Payroll
Manage episode 504194956 series 3686819
The hosts trade hype for operations and make a blunt case for AI as a teammate, not a toy. Let the machine chew through repetition so humans can think, sell, and create. They ground it in outcomes, not adjectives. A conversational AI that quietly fills calendars with client meetings. An AI concierge that turns wandering browsers into confirmed reservations. Tools sit in drawers. Teammates file results.
The real shift is managerial. Give AI a job description. Define the inputs, the handoffs, and the escalation rules. Feed it clean, organized data so it stops guessing. Write prompts that are specific enough to be useful and simple enough to be repeatable. Remember, AI never calls in sick, but it will follow bad instructions perfectly. That is power if you point it well.
They close with a rollout plan you can use today. Choose one high‑volume workflow. Clean the data before turning anything on. Draft prompts that mirror the role. Set hard metrics like meetings booked, response time, and hours returned to the team. Keep humans in the loop to review, retrain, and step in when judgment matters. The result is not magic. It is amplification. Your best processes, faster, with fewer late nights and fewer “how did this break” messages.
