AI Is Useful. Now What?
AI implementation is critical for every business right now, as the window for merely "sidecaring" with AI is closing. While many individuals are comfortable using AI for personal queries, its business application still presents a challenge. Businesses and their teams generally fall into one of three phases regarding AI adoption: sidecaring, AI-first, or AI-native. Most businesses are currently in the "sidecaring" phase, where AI is used on the side to inform work, much like an advanced search engine. This involves using large language models (LLMs) to generate content, edit emails, or answer strategic questions, with the output then manually integrated into core work. However, this phase is rapidly becoming insufficient. Experts like Mark Cuban emphasize that every business needs an AI implementation immediately, advocating for a shift beyond basic sidecaring.

We Plugged AI Into Our Company for a Week (What Happened)
The speakers reflect on their first week of deeply integrating AI, specifically Claude, into their personal and business workflows, moving beyond consumer-level AI to more advanced, "agentic" applications. They emphasize that the gap between an AI-leveraged team and a normal team is not 20% but four to five times more productive, highlighting a "survival problem" for businesses not adopting AI. They liken modern AI to electricity, a horizontal enabling layer that can improve everything, and stress that companies asking which department should own the AI budget are asking the wrong question. One speaker recounts building a working app, not just a prototype, in his spare time over a weekend, using voice-to-text to instruct Claude, despite not being a developer. This experience underscores the profound shift in building capabilities. They describe this period as an "iPhone moment," a 10 out of 10 in terms of impact, not just as a new technology but as a "gold rush moment" to seize a window of opportunity. The ability for one-person billion-dollar companies, or even companies with zero human employees, to exist is now seen as definitively possible, with AI acting as an orchestrator or "jockey."
