Welcome to a special operators cut bonus edition of the AI Daily Brief.

I recently put out an episode about all of the things that we've learned across thousands of interviews with executives as part of the super intelligent agent readiness and opportunity mapping assessments.

Now for background, the way that these surveys work is that we deploy voice agents to interview a very wide cross-section of people, both leadership and those on the front lines, in order to understand how work works today.

We then process that through a proprietary LLM-based process that has access to a bunch of custom data sets that we've built in order to provide recommendations around where AI and agents could help create new opportunities and solve problems, as well as providing advice around things like change management initiatives that can help their organization get more ready.

For some time, we've been thinking about maybe doing a more educational type series that gets into some of the lessons that we've learned.

And that could be maybe a little bit more practical for people who are trying to apply this stuff inside your own organizations.

And the response to the recent episode about those surveys was so good that it seemed like the time was now.

So I'm delighted for this three-part series, which will be coming out over the subsequent Saturdays as bonus episodes, to have back to the show Nufar Gaspar.

Nufar is our head of research, as well as a former AI leader at Intel and an enterprise AI consultant who helps companies with all of these types of different issues, drawing on both an incredible wellspring of existing experience and a constantly updated new set of experiences as she helps lead research and put these things into practice.

On our first episode, we get into the challenges of culture.

So without any further ado, let's dive in.

All right, Nufar, welcome back to the AI Daily Brief.

How are you doing?

I'm good.

How are you?

Good.

So we're doing something that we've been talking about for a while.

I think that there's this really interesting and, frankly, quite large space between information, news, education, podcast-style content on the one hand, and full-on upskilling coursework on the other hand.

I think that space in between...

has a ton to explore, right?
