But use AI to actually move faster as an organization.
So if you roll out a year from now, but then I think even probably, you know, it's almost easier to think about five years from now than one year.
But at some kind of point in time in the not crazy amount of future,
I would just argue that we should have, you know, three, five, 10x more leverage as individuals inside of an organization, which means that when we go and brainstorm a new marketing campaign to go do, instead of us having to have three brainstorms over a two-week period and go and, you know, talk to lots of other companies for best practices and benchmarks, that might be a 30-minute exercise, you know, just involving your marketing people and AI kind of, you know, coordinating on that.
And then boom, you just, you know, shrink that process by a couple weeks into 10, 20, 30 minutes.
And so imagine that across engineering, product development, marketing, you know, going in and coming up with the sales plan for a customer.
What would happen if many parts of your business, you could start to do things in an hour or two hours that would have otherwise, you know, taken a week?
And what is that?
So there is this notion of... Well, and to that on the lumber layer policy, like the Kanban board might go off on a completely new direction as a result of this.
I like as an example, I have personally and this is like to the chagrin of my my colleagues.
I have lit up more projects internally because of my access to AI, because what I do is I go experiment on some idea.
Then I then get convinced is much easier to go do now because I kind of let me start to do the experiment on it.
And then now all of a sudden I've lit up a project that now people are working on.
And that wasn't in their Kanban board a week ago.
Right, no, 100%.
I literally, so we have this project that we're doing right now, we're on the tail end, where basically I shaved about three days to a week off of the initial brainstorm process that would have taken.
And I did that in a couple minutes with AI.
Then I rallied the team around it because the AI did the upfront part and it sort of showed what it might look like as a result.
We still had another three weeks of work to go make it happen.
I shaved off a week at the front end, but by shaving off the front end, I lowered the barrier to us sort of realizing what would be possible.
