Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone. You know, it's like every day there's some
new app or software, right, each one's like, this is it.
This is the solution to all your productivity problems.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
It's tough to figure out what's actually worth your time.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yeah, so that's what we're here for. Exactly today, we're
diving deep into Bika dot Aika. It's this AI powered platform.
It's trying to be like your all in one shop
for making your workflows smoother. I see. We're going beyond
just like the you know, the marketing stuff shure and
really digging into what people are saying, we're using oncely

(00:34):
for this, Oh nice, you know, and oncely right. They
have those lifetime software deals, and they also have those
brutally honest user reviews.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, that's what they're known for. Exactly few people real opinions.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
So the big question is Bika dot ai the real deal?
It's the question or is it just another one of
these shiny new things that wants our attention, right, let's
find out.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, let's get into it.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
So right off the bat, what's really interesting about Bika
dot ai is they're not just going for one specific thing, right,
like just CRM or just project management Okay, they want
to be like a blend of Airtable and Xavier, but
with AI automation on top of that.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Ambitious right, yeah for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
So they're saying, it's not just about automating the stuff
we already know we need to do, but it's about
predicting what we should be doing. Oh wow, before we
even realize it.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
That's pretty bold.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
It is bold, But how does that even work?

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Like, what is this proactive AI automation?

Speaker 2 (01:30):
So think of it this way. Normal automation, it's reactive, okay,
like you set a role like when I get an
email from this client, add them to my CRM.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Makes sense.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Proactive AI automation it goes a step further, okay. It
analyzes what you do, like your patterns, and it suggests
automations you might not have even thought of.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
So it's learning from what I'm doing exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Like let's say bigonad AI notices that you always send
those follow up emails uh huh three days after someone
downloads something.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
It might suggest automating that whole process.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Good example. Yeah, it makes it a lot less like abstract,
you know, and honestly, if it can save me from
those follow up emails. I'm all in, I hear you.
And speaking of saving time, digga dot ai is all
about those plug and play templates too, right. They say
you can set up like common workflows in just three minutes.

(02:21):
Three minutes that's barely enough time to make coffee. Seriously,
but if they can really pull that off, yeah, that speed,
that simplicity, it could be huge.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
It's smart, right, this whole focus on speed and ease
of use. It fits with that bigger trend of low code,
no code platforms, the ones that are letting people who aren't,
you know, coding experts. Yeah, yeah, build and automate things exactly.
But the real question is does beak it out Ai

(02:51):
actually live up to all the hype.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
That's where those ultimately reviews come in. We went through
all of them, all of them. Wow, just the good
ones that's.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Dedicated to bring you those raw, filtered experiences.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Got to hear it straight from the source.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
This isn't marketing, it's the real deal. I like it,
and what we found is really interesting.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Okay, I'm intrigued.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
It's a mix of good and.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Bad, which is good, right, You want to see both sides.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Exactly, It's what you want when you're really trying to
figure out a tool makes sense. So let's start with
the positive, all.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Right, hit me with the good stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
One user was raving about how bika dot ai completely
eliminated their manual data entry. Wow, that's huge, is their
sales pipeline? No, we're manual entry gone.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
That's a dream come true for a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
They said it used to take them hours every week,
hours and now it's all automatic.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
That's a serious time saver.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Right, and for anyone out there who is deep in
the world of sales and marketing, Yeah, that kind of efficiency,
that's a game changer.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
I totally agree.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
And it ties into another positive comment we saw.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Oh, tell me more.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
About bika dot AI's marketing automation capabilities. One user specifically
mentioned how well it integrates with let's just say it
was a popular email platform, Gotcha, which they were already using, right,
and they said it made setting up those targeted email
campaigns so easy.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I can see that being a big plus.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
And it saved them a ton of time.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
So integrations are key.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yes, integrations with tools you're already using. It makes everything
so much smoother, It really does.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
You're not starting from scratch. You're building on what you
already have exactly.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
But Okay, it's not all.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Perfect, right, right, there's got to be some downsides.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
What about the downsides?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah? What did people not like?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, a lot of people loved how simple and easy
it was to use, okay, but a common complaint in
the negative reviews was the lack of like advanced customization.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Interesting.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
So, for example, one user wanted to integrate bika dot
ai with their current project management tool. I see, but
bika dot AI's API just doesn't allow for that level
of flexibility.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
So it's great for simple stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
It seems that way, but.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
If you need more control, you might hit a wall.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, it sounds like bika dot ai is really good
for those quick, ready to go solutions for common workflows.
But if you're a power user, yeah, and you need
that fine grain control.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
You might be frustrated.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
You might run into some limitation for sure. So it's
about finding the right fit exactly. Before we wrap up
this part, I want to remind everyone about the person
behind the scenes of this show, the mastermind, usman usof
our producer.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
He's the best.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
He has so much experience working with sauce.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Companies Yeah, he's a sauce pro.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
You can find him on LinkedIn at sismon go connect
with him. If you're trying to market your product.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Online, especially if you're in the sauce.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
World, Wozman's your guy for sure. Okay, now back to
Bika dot Ai.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Let's get back to it.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
We talked about the good, the bad, and the integrations
and how important it is to know what you need.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Your needs, your priorities.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
But there's another part of the story I think we
need to talk about.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Now.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
What's that the big picture AI powered automate, what it
means for the future of work.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, that's a big one.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
It's a big one, definitely worth exploring. So we'll be
right back with part two. Can't wait. Welcome back, all right,
So before we jump back into those user reviews. Yeah,
I wanted to go back back to something you mentioned,
okay about bika dot ai being you know, this multifaceted tool, right,
not just marketing and sales automation, Yeah, but project management too.

(06:24):
Did the ltly reviews say anything about how well bika
dot ai handles that.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, we can't forget about that part. Most of the
feedback was about marketing and sales okay, but there are
some interesting comments about the project management stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
One user who is managing a small software team said
they were actually surprised by how intuitive bika dot ai
was for like delegating tasks and keeping track of progress.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
They really liked the visual canban board okay. It gave
them a clear overview of their team's workflow.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
So thumbs up for the visuals and easy use.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, but were there any youre always are right right?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
No project management tools perfect exactly? So what did they say?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Well, this is where that jack of all trades approach
might be a problem.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Some users who were used to those really powerful project management.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Tools like a Sona or Gira.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, those, they felt like bika dot ai was missing
some features.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
I can see that.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
One user even said that while bika dot ai was
good for basic task management, it didn't have stuff like
gaunt charts or dependency tracking oh right, which are super
important for complex projects. Makes sense if you're used to
those power user features. Yeah, a simpler tool might feel limiting,
right right. It sounds like bika dot AI's project management

(07:42):
is more for teams or individuals who have pretty straightforward
projects gotcha. Not for those juggling complicated timelines and dependencies.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's all about finding the right tool for the job,
exactly you said it. And this brings us back to
a key takeaway. Okay, what's that really thinking about your
needs right and your priorities before you choose a tool.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Especially when like Bika dot ai.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
It was so many features, multifaceted. As we said, it's
easy to get caught up in the excitement of new technology,
oh for sure, But the truth is not every tool
is the right fit for every situation. Definitely not. And
speaking of fit, yeah, let's go back to those one
silly reviews. Okay, there was one comment that I think
really gets to the heart of what our listeners might

(08:28):
be dealing with.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Okay, I'm curious.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
One user, they said they were a solopreneur.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Juggling multiple businesses.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Probably, yeah, we're in a lot of hats.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
That's the solopreneur life.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
And they were drawn to Bika dot AI's promise of
you know, simplifying their workflows, automating those boring tasks, right, right,
sounds like a perfect match, right, you would think so.
But here's the thing. What happened. This user even though
they saw the potential of Bika dot Ai. Yeah, they said,
they ended up fighting against the platform forms limitations. They

(09:01):
spent more time trying to work around the platform that's.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
The opposite of what you want and actually benefiting from it.
It's so frustrating.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
It became a source of frustration, not a solution. That's
a nightmare. You think you're getting this amazing time saving
tool right, and it ends up making your life more complicated.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Technology gone wrong.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
And that's why these real, unfiltered user reviews are so important.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
They give you the real story.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
They show you the potential problems.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
The stuff marketing might not tell you.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
It's like a reality check. Yeah, reminding us that no
software is perfect.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Right, there's no magic bullet, and it's.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
So important to really understand the tools, strengths and weaknesses
before you jump in, before you commit. Absolutely, Now, before
we move on, Okay, I want to talk to our
listeners directly.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Go for it.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
If you're liking this deep dive, yeah, and you're finding
it helpful, let us know.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
We love hearing from you.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
And even better, if you know any businesses that might
want to sponsor a podcast like.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Ours, oh yes, send them our way.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
We're always looking to connect with companies definitely who share
our passion for giving our audience insightful, useful information.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
That's what we're all about.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Okay, back to Bika dot Ai.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Let's dive back in.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
We talked about the good, the bad.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
The reality checks.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Knowing your needs. But there's one more layer to this story.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Okay, tell me more.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
That I think is really important. I'm listening the bigger context, okay,
AI powered automation, right what it means for the future
of work.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
That's the big question.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
It is a big question, it is, and it's a
perfect way to lead into the final part of our
deep dive.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
I like where this is going.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Where we'll zoom out, okay and look at how tools
like Biga dot ai are changing how we work.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
And what skills we need to thrive exactly. I'm ready
for part three.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
All right, So we've really gone deep with Bika dot Ai.
We have the features, what users are saying, the good,
the bad.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
The whole picture.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
But like you said, we need to zoom out a
bit see where this tool fits in the ground scheme
of things exactly. There's so much talk about AI automation
these days. Yeah, low code no code platforms.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
It's everywhere you look.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
It feels like the future of work is changing right
in front of us.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
It absolutely is.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
And Bega dot ai is a perfect example of how
these trends are all coming together.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
It really is.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
The idea is to give anyone, even if they're not
a tech expert, the power of AI to make their
work smoother and get more done. That's the promise. It's exciting,
but honestly, sometimes all this new technology it could feel overwhelming.
I get it. I'm sure our listeners feel it too. Yeah,
so let's break it down. Okay, what does this shift

(11:39):
to AI automation actually mean for like the average person?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Right?

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Should we be worried about robots taking our jobs?

Speaker 2 (11:46):
That's the big fear, isn't it. And while some jobs
will definitely be automated, yeah, it's more likely that AI
will help us, not replace us completely. Think of it
as a partnership, not a competition.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
So instead of replacing us, AI becomes like our partner exactly,
helping us work smarter and fast and letting us focus
on the things humans are good at.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
The things AI can't do.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Creativity, problem solving relationships.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Those are the skills that really matter.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
That makes sense.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Tools like bika dot ai they're supposed to take over
those boring, repetitive.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Tasks, the ones that take up all our time, exactly,
so we can focus on the important stuff, the strategic stuff,
be more innovative, more human even.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
So, Yeah, it's not about robots taking over, it's about
working together.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
But then the question is if this is the future, Yeah,
what skills do we need to be ready for it?

Speaker 2 (12:39):
That's a good question.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Because knowing how to use a tool like bika dot
ai that's great, but it's not enough, right, Yeah, absolutely right,
So what else do we need?

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Well, being able to learn new technology.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
That's crucial, adapting to new tools, but.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
We also need to develop those human skills, Okay, the
ones that will be even more value people in an
AI world. Critical thinking, solving complex problems, creativity, emotional intelligence.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Those are the things that will set us apart, make
us stand out, keep us relevant exactly. So it's not
just about learning to code or mastering the latest software.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
It's bigger than that.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
It's about always learning, lifelong learning, expanding our skills to
stay ahead of the curve.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
That's the key.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
It's a challenge, it is but it's also exciting. It
is new possibilities. Absolutely well, this has been a fantastic
deep dive into Bika dot Ai.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
I've learned a lot, me too, and I'm sure our
listeners have too.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Hopefully they have some new things to think about.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Thanks for being our guide through all this.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
It's been a pleasure.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
The key takeaway here isn't just about Bika dot Ai.
It's about understanding these big trends that are shaping the
future of.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Work and being ready for them.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Equipping ourselves with the skills and knowledge to thrive.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
That's what it's all about.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
