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

Where before, because I had 10 bazillion things going on, and I was so hassled, I'm just making these snap decisions.

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

It actually allows us to be leaders again, is what I'm saying is like, it's, it's like, is this do you believe that what AI is really going to do is kind of give give leaders and people in leadership positions

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

their jobs back to a certain extent, which is actually dissecting and making decisions and then actually advocating for them, right?

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

This busy work, I feel like, is so much of the reason that we don't do those things.

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

But AI can solve that.

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

Yeah.

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

And the best part about this, you know, is so you figure out who your highest lifetime value customer is and you get a good feel for that avatar or avatars.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

And then it's not like you can't then go back and now optimize for conversion of those specific people.

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

So, you know, guys, what Nicholas is not saying is just

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

stop at what's the best lifetime value for a customer and how do you provide that product?

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

It's now that we have a better feel for what we need to optimize for, we can give that to our conversion optimization agent.

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

And now they have the proper target.

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

So what I love about this, what you're saying here is

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

figure out the right target first, spend the time figuring out what the right target is before we go into these optimization cycles.

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

Because we know AI is amazing at optimization, creating efficiency, et cetera.

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

But if we're shooting at the wrong target, we're no further along.

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

We just have this engine optimizing for the wrong things.

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

And we're just as maybe miserable or frustrated with our results as we always were.

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

Maybe we just have more.

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

And that part of it to me is, it's so, the granularity of AI is another part of it, right?
