| 0:00.0 | using only 20% of your business data is like dating someone who only texts emojis first of all |
| 0:06.3 | that's annoying and second you're missing a lot of context but that's how most businesses operate today |
| 0:12.0 | using only 20% of their data unless you have HuffSpot where all the emails call logs and chat |
| 0:18.3 | messages turn into insights to grow your business. |
| 0:21.3 | Because all that data makes all the difference. |
| 0:24.1 | I would know because I use HubSpot at my company. |
| 0:26.9 | Learn more at HubSpot.com. |
| 0:29.0 | I realized recently that AI either makes you more of a learning machine or more of a lazy machine. |
| 0:34.8 | So the people that use AI, for example, I'm going to, I'm going to guess |
| 0:38.2 | for Neil. Neil probably asked a lot of tax questions to his AI, okay? So more or less as a tax strategist, right? You're learning more. I'm sure there's a lot that you've learned about things that you just didn't know before, right? But my point is you're asking a lot more questions that you usually would have asked before. You're not just kind of, you know, |
| 0:53.7 | like taking it and say, okay, AI do the work for me. So when I say AI makes you a learning machine, you ask more questions and you actually expand your mind more. That's for smart people, okay? Now, unfortunately, many people, like, you want to be lazy and smart. You don't want to just be to just be lazy okay so because smart and lazy people try to figure out ways around things right they figure out creative ways but if you're just someone that just throws it over the fence and you're just like chat chibi is going to solve the problems chat chb will write my prompts for me chat tv is going to write all the content from me then you will get sloth right so that's the first I wanted to make. But the second point to what you're saying is I've had my AI agents. They've started to invade my Slack channels, right? And so they're working in my sales room. They're working in my recruiting room. They're working in the SEO room, too. And it's working with the team. Now, here's the thing. I see it, their team's asking for data polls and it's giving the team strategies outside the box strategies and it's rating our strategies and it's also offering to do the work too. Now here's the other thing that you just mentioned that gave me an idea. So Neil and I just made an idea baby. Let us let everyone know that we just made a baby. So the idea baby that we made here, Neil, is if you have it coaching your team, okay, like, imagine your kids are going to be working with personalized AI tutors, right? |
| 2:07.0 | Everyone on your team now has a personalized coach, okay, that has all the data that understands what that team's supposed to hit. |
| 2:15.1 | And it's going to help coach the team, but it's also good at what? |
| 2:18.4 | It's also good to performance manage the team, too. Okay? Yes. Whether you like it or not, that's what's going to happen, and it's going to show like a leaderboard that way. And I think that's a good and a bad thing, right? I think we're always just trying to do better for our companies. And I think this is great. Like I didn't have that idea for the coaching piece, but I think I'm going to inject that a little bit |
| 2:35.4 | into my little bots that have invaded Slack, |
| 2:37.9 | which it's been tremendous. My team's like, oh my God, I'm like, you say you like it. How useful has it been? Oh my God, 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. I'm like, okay. All right. We'll do more. Yeah. Dude, I was telling Heathen about this concept because he has his AI lab where he helps people set up. |
| 2:53.2 | Is it really a lab? |
| 2:54.3 | Uh-huh. |
| 2:54.7 | Okay. Dude, I was telling Heathen about this concept because he has his AI lab where he helps people |
| 2:52.8 | set up. Is it really a lab? Okay. And he helps people set up, you know, all this stuff internally, |
| 2:58.9 | whether it's open claw or whatever you want to. Does he charge six grand for open claw setups? |
| 3:03.6 | I think it's, I think it's either five or ten thousand dollars I think that's fair |
