Most businesses think the AI gold rush is about building smarter tech. It’s not. It’s about how you actually use it.
In this episode, Aamir Qutub and Davina Montgomery sit down with Alex Papli, founder of Hypergen AI, to cut through the hype around AI agents, automation, Copilot, and ChatGPT. They unpack the real difference between workflows and truly agentic AI, why “getting your data in order” is often the wrong starting point, and how AI governance fails when leaders don’t get hands-on.
You’ll hear practical examples of AI for business, from automating grunt work to reducing risk and improving productivity—without betting the farm on shiny tools.
If you’re a founder or executive wondering where AI actually delivers ROI, this episode will save you months of guessing.
