Everyone wants to automate their business with AI. But what should you actually automate first?Most companies are starting in the wrong place. They pick ChatGPT, Claude, agents, or automation tools and immediately start building. But the tool isn’t the strategy. The real opportunity is figuring out which problems are worth solving first.In this episode of Leveraging AI, Isar Meitis sits down with Corey Ganim, founder of Return My Time, to break down a practical framework for doing exactly that: Audit. Optimize. Automate.Instead of throwing AI at every problem, Corey shows you how to identify the bottlenecks costing your business time, money, or customer experience, rank them by impact and effort, calculate potential ROI, and then choose the simplest solution that gets the job done.Sometimes that's an AI automation.Sometimes it's an existing $20-a-month software tool.And increasingly, AI can even help you implement the solution once you've picked it.In this session, you'll discover:Why choosing the right business problem matters more than choosing between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or GrokThe three outcomes business owners actually care about: making more money, saving time, and improving qualityHow to run an AI-powered audit of your own businessWhy asking AI one question at a time produces better strategic insightsThe impact-vs.-effort matrix for identifying your highest-value quick winsWhy you should consider off-the-shelf software before building custom AI automationHow to calculate the real ROI of buying back your timeHow to have AI create a step-by-step implementation plan for nontechnical usersHow AI computer-use capabilities can move beyond recommending software and actually help set it upCorey Ganim is the founder of Return My Time, where he helps businesses identify where they are wasting time and build systems to get that time back.His approach centers around a simple framework: Audit, Optimize, Automate.Check the prompts here: AI Tools Assessment: Copy-Paste Prompts About Leveraging AIMulti-Agent Orchestration Course: https://multiplai.ai/multi-agent-orchestration-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you’ve enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!
