Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

This has been a mountain that I've been shouting off of for a few years now.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

he started this little application where he lives in the UK and he was moving from one, he was trying to find a new apartment with his girlfriend and the hardest part was they both had different visions for the apartment so they were taking pictures of these apartments but they're empty so you can't really see.

So he basically built this little app that you tell it your style, you take a picture of the room and it kind of

So what he did was he, you, he created an AI agent and we don't have to get into the technical details of how he created the AI agent, but essentially what it did was using TikTok.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

It created five to seven different versions of TikToks and TikTok ads every day.
