ProjectWE: Human Centric AI

Our guests for this episode are David Matenaer and Erik Gabrielson, two of the Co-founders of ProjectWE, a firm that creates customized AI platforms for SMB's.

David and Erik have been collaborating on projects for many years, and when they came together to form a partnership around some online education they were developing, they realized it needed to be AI generated. So, they put their launch on hold and went back to the drawing board to utilize Artificial Intelligence in the work they both did (and do) for businesses.  Fast forward to now, they are developing customized AI applications for several of their clients, generating a huge impact to their client's work flows, onboarding, sales processes, training, leadership and ongoing employee coaching. In other words, a game changer in efficiency and expense reduction!

The simplest way to explain its impact is that it helps solve things at a speed faster than any human could, but needs the context from which to do so. The output will only be as good as the input. If you are clear about the details of where you are now with a certain situation or objective, and just as clear about the ideal outcome, the AI can solve for the middle, so your team can help you get there with a plan, coaching and accountabilities, all generated by your AI database. 

Erik says AI will not supplant humans, but give them the ability to do more higher level things that impact growth for the business. Every outcome that the AI derives for the user still needs to be tweaked and approved by the user, but the AI can get you to 80-90% completion! Talk about a time saver.  

There's so much more for all of us to know about the ways AI can be applied, but what's essential is that all of us must learn it and utilize it. This technology won't wait around for laggards.
