How to Use Agentic AI Without Breaking Your Process w/ Blake Nielson, Jasmin Bennett & Rachel Bascom @ 97th Floor

Blake Nielson sits down with Head of Content Rachel Bascom and Enterprise Account Director Jasmin Bennett to break down how the team at 97th Floor has moved from AI chatbots to agentic AI workflows, and what that shift has meant for content quality, efficiency, and process design.

Key Takeaways:

• Agents act. Chatbots talk. That gap is where most teams get stuck.
• Break your process into small skills. Fewer tokens, less bloat, easier fixes.
• Make AI plan before it builds. Let it run free and you get junk.
• Build one skill, use it everywhere. Good persona work pays off across every channel.
