Show Notes
In this episode of In Demand, Asia and Kim unpack how they think about and using AI today, and what founders and operators should think about when using AI in their day-to-day work. They explore when AI meaningfully speeds up analysis and deliverables, why human interpretation still matters for strategy, and the common mistake of outsourcing thinking to an LLM too early.
If you are experimenting with AI in product, marketing, or operations and trying to figure out where it actually adds value, this episode offers a grounded framework for thinking about it.
