Hello and welcome to best laid plans. This is your host, Sarah Hart-Unger, and this is the

podcast where we talk all things planning and planning adjacent. I promised you last week that we

would have a topic that I wanted to talk about for a while

that has some controversial aspects to it. And yes, here we are. I have an expert today on AI.

And someone, though, who comes from a planning background, who has actually taken my courses,

who I have known in the digital space for a while and who I respect quite a bit.

So I thought she was the perfect person to talk today about how she has integrated various

aspects of AI and agents and bots into her day-to-day productivity.

And honestly, by the end, I felt really inspired and reassured overall. Now, of course, this is still

an area rife with uncertainty. There is so much we don't know about what is coming. But what we do

have is what's here now. And I think it is helpful to really understand the landscape and what the

opportunities and tools that exist that are out there.

So I think no better person to do that than my guest today, Emily, and I really hope you

enjoy this conversation.

Here we go.

Well, I am so excited to be here today with Emily Sherryo.

She is the VP of Engineering at KiloCode.

She's also a mom of three kids under the age of five. And I have to throw in that she is a Best Lay Plans Academy alumnus as well. Welcome, Emily, to the show. Thank you, Sarah, for having me. I'm really happy to be here. I am excited. I'm really excited to talk because I feel like I've gotten to know you a little bit over the years in various forums.

And now I wasn't following closely, but I go and look and you're like doing some amazing things in

the tech world in a leadership position with a lot of attention on what you're doing.

Can you share a little bit about, I don't know, the past few years and where you are right now

in your work and parenting
